I WISH to thank the young family who kindly gave me a lift on Thursday evening.

I had been waiting for a taxi in Market Place for 20 minutes when this man offered to drive me home although it was in the opposite direction to where he lived.

On the drive home I learned he had been living in Purley Road for five years having moved here from Kent, but I neglected to discover his surname or exact address so I do hope they read this letter of thanks.

Showing kindness to the elderly was a wonderful example to set for his two young daughters in the car.

Once again, a big thank you.

JOY LOFTHOUSE
