Nicest Person you have met this Year.

Hi

A strange year with Covid and Lockdown.

I have also had multiple Hospital Admissions.

I have 3.

A Polish Female EMU Consultant.

Brilliant but cringhed when I addressed her in Polish.

Polish can be very formal, which is how you address Professionals.

She was very happy when I explained that my Polish Teachers were young children.

The second one was a black agency nurse called Lucy.

Very tall, very slim, 3 daughters and a husband as bad us 4 in the room.

She had a healthy disregard for the male of the species, but was excellant at her job.

Then the local Binman.

Loads of problems at first when I was unable to put my bins out on the Roadside.

Then I got a nominated collecter.

An absolutely lovely man.

He has cleared up the backlog, and the front garden and will take away anything I put out.

All Credit to them.

I can't narrow it down to one or two people but since starting my job, I have met a whole team of them. The job is hard work physically but the people make up for it.

Our new regular postman. Refers to himself as Postman Matt. Always a cheerful fella, who has gone out of his way to make things a bit easier at times.

Our Sainsbury's grocery deliverers, they are always smiling, helpful and make sure we are managing alright.

Oh.... and they always close the gate on the way out!

All the Waitrose delivery people they are so courteous and cheery and have made having to resort to online shopping a pleasurable experience.

I haven't 'met' anyone else new this year. I was told to go home and stay there in February by my DIL who saw the pandemic coming . She said her Mother wouldn't take any notice of her and she wanted her children to have at least one grandmother when it is all over

Re: Nicest Person you have met this Year.

Yes, a strange year. A strange year for me too but I hung in there. And we met some really nice people.

Nicest? I think it wouldn't be right to single them out, lovely neighbours that they are. They were there when they were especially supportive of my dear wife while I was incarcerated in hospital.
