I WISH to thank all the kind people who offered their help when my car broke down at the Spitalgate traffic lights on Thursday evening (September 11) including the lady jogger who broke her run to come back and check if I was OK.

I especially thank the two gentlemen who got my car into a safer position, one of whom stayed with me until the mechanic arrived. My thanks to the RAC man, who having affected a temporary repair, followed me home to ensure I had no further problems.

I give my sincere thanks to you all, you were truly ‘knights of the road’ To other motorists who were slightly delayed by the incident, I offer my apologies.
