You can do. They are called the ambulance service. They do a roaring trade as a taxi service round my way from 11pm onwards.

Isnt it lovely to know there are still some really decent people out there.

On the subject of your dad, he has grazed knees and knuckles and was a bit dazed. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but I think he might have gone back to the cage fighting again.

I know he promised the family he wouldn't but for some people it's always just one more fight. Remember years ago when he said he wasn't doing bare knuckle boxing against travellers anymore.

Funny you should say that! There's a big travellers site in his road, I did ask him if he had been taking on all comers

on Saturday my sister got a call from my dads neighbour saying that he had fallen in the village but had been looked after and was back home. She was popping round again later to check up on him. As my dad is 85 and lives alone we were a bit concerned. As I'm the nearest of my siblings, only 2 hours drive away, I said I would go and check on him.

He was ok apart from grazed knee and swollen knuckles where he had landed. He had been a bit confused and wasn't completely sure what had happened, or who had looked after him. He thought the neighbours had bought him home.

After speaking to said neighbour I got the proper story. A couple, not even from the area, had been driving through the village and decided to stop at the kitchen design shop (this is Cotswolds village after all!). They had seen dad fall and had picked him up. The kitchen shop apparently cleaned up his knee and sat him down for 20 mins as he was a bit confused. Lovely strangers then drove him home and went knocking on neighbours doors for a more local person to keep an eye on him. Strangers then went back to the village to buy the bits of shopping for dad, paying for them themselves. Neighbour then phoned my sister and checked dad was ok, then and later.

By chance when I went to thank the neighbour she was on the phone as strangers had rang later to check dad was ok. She saved their number so that I could ring them later to say thanks.

How lovely were they? All of above. I hope that karma rewards their kindness.

This is true. It's only bad stuff that makes the news.
