I’D LIKE, through the Standard, to thank the kind lady and gentleman and the duty manager, Mr John Williams, who came to my aid when I suffered a serious hypoglycaemic episode in Waitrose last Saturday afternoon.

I’m afraid I was totally out of it and didn’t have a clue who or where I was, so I must have come across as completely brain dead (which one actually is a little on these occasions because the supply of oxygen to the brain is reduced).

I do apologise for not being able to thank you at the time but my husband, who happily arrived on the scene in time to feed me some restorative glucose, joins me in expressing our sincere thanks for you catching me before I hit the ground.
