I am not surprised by the kindness of people seen here ( even in London!) as since my arthritic ankle has made getting about tough for me I have experienced many kind and thoughtful strangers in this world who have offered to help me when I have been struggling.

And there in a wood a piggywig stood...

It's inspired me Flying Pigs. I'm going to do one kind act today - I'm not going to cook.

I like to think most people would despite what the media says.

I'm the same as Frazz because I'd like to think that others would help me, should I ever need it again in the future. It's a bit like a smile ....... kindness and helping people spread.

One time I experienced help from others was when I was driving 'Ooop North' (doing 70 m.p.h. up the M1) when there was suddenly a loud bang and I couldn't see a thing. My bonnet's safety catch had failed and the bonnet had flown up and come through the windscreen. I managed to get to the hard shoulder (without visibility apart from using my rear view mirror) and was stranded there for 2 hours. However, two lots of police and a couple of motorists stopped to offer help and to check I was ok. The breakdown truck that the police sent for (because the AA left me there for 2 hours on my own) waived their charges and got me to the hotel I was staying in. The police then rang me to check that I'd arrived safely.

I could have felt very vulnerable, as I was stranded from 7.45 p.m. until 10 p.m., but I felt safe, thanks to those kind motorists and the police. I would certainly stop if I saw anyone else in a similar situation now.

I would have helped the two women but I'm bit sure is have woken the sleeping passenger lol.

In general I would stop to help if I could. My recent incident with the poor kitty still plays on my mind. I wish I could have found the owner.

When travelling to London after having kippered my knee people were invariably kind to me. One taxi driver helped me in and out and even came back at the end of my meeting to make sure I didn't have to walk to find a cab. Whilst hobbling to get the train home I had one guard walked up the platform, gave me his arm and carried my bag. He then put me in first class so I had a comfortable seat and could stretch my leg.

Even Mr Tink offered to wheel to my car from my allotment in a wheel barrow lol

I always offer help if I think someone needs assistance but having a sister with mobility problems am very aware of how fiercely independent some people can be so I approach with a smile and ask if they're OK and can I help and am not offended if they decline. I always hold open doors for those behind me and it's surprising how few people bother to say thanks or even acknowledge it with a smile. These days people are cautious of approaching anyone in case they get attacked or verbally abused

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
