Just kidding!
, last year i got a puncture and while i was waiting 6hrs for the recovery driver to arrive (the wheels had been fitted without grease so were practically welded on so couldn't remove the wheel) an elderly lady came across the road with a silver tray with cup of tea 2 of the nicest cheese scones i have ever had and some hobnobs
it was about a week after i lost my wife and this lady really gave me a boost on a dark day, when i eventually got home i had some flowers delivered to her home as a thankyou.......i did think of pretending to break down there again as the cheese scones were lovely......it shows there are still some lovely people about.
