Around lunchtime today, I was walking through the car park of one of my local stores – Sainsbury’s, where prices are only 50% higher than those at Aldi or Lidl – and a few people were on a little zebra crossing. One lady, maybe in her 80s, tripped and fell flat on her face. A man maybe also in his 80s picked her up. The lady was quite shaken, she’d grazed her hands, the man and I then had this exchange:

Me (to man): Do you know this lady? He: Yes, she’s my wife. We’ve been married over 60 years! Me: Very commendable of you, but that’s not what I asked. Do you know her?

I’m pleased to report they both laughed and thanked me for showing concern. I felt I’d done my good deed for the day, no need to do any more.
