Halfrauds

[AD Ent]

Got sent out for some spice earlier, so headed up to home bargains. Gets back to the car andthere is a lass with the bonnet up on her golf trying to replace 2 headlight bulbs in the dark she just got from halfords. I said they'll fit them if you ask.
Yes she said, £7 a bulb to fit....er you don't know how to do it, do ya?
Yes I do.
I'd like to think some nice chap would have helped my missus in the same situation when the lights go dark on the way home from work.
When i'd done she said thanks sooo much and gave me a fiver.
Paid for the walnut whips

Well done...


A few years back, I lived on a farm that was well known in the area, as the owner also bred parrots, and sold food and stuff for them.

One day on the way to work, about 8 miles from home, a poor lady was broken down right in the middle of the road, half way out onto a roundabout. Everyone was just driving round her, and in the time it took me to get up to where she was, I saw a car swerve, and the second car behind it, nearly hit her. I pulled round the roundabout, and parked, blocking anyone from using that lane, then went to see if she was OK. Poor lady was crying her eyes out, as she had 3 kids, 2 in baby seats, and a toddler in the car, and just did not know what to do. The car had just died, and refused to start, and had already tried to push it back, but could not move it.

I was amazed, even with me blocking the roundabout lane, no one else stopped to help her...

Across the roundabout was a side road with plenty of room to park up, so I fitted the tow rope to her car, made sure she had the keys turned on, handbrake off, and it was out of park, pulled forward across her nose, blocking the roundabout, chucked the rope over the towbar, and then pulled her out the way...

She was so grateful, and then like a true prince, I lent her my mobile, to call her husband, to come and collect her. She was so happy, but saying she had no money on her as she was only dropping the kids off at nursery, and did not have her bag with her. I said it was no problem, I did it to be kind, not for reward, and left, leaving her safe.

About 2 weeks later, on a Saturday morning, there was a knock on my door, and this massive guy was standing there, with a huge box of chocolates. He then explained that his wife was the lady I had rescued, and she had recognised the spare wheel cover from when they came and got their parrot food, so he was here to say a big thank you for being her knight in shining armour for the day. She then came over and gave me a huge hug, saying how stupid she felt for crying, but how she was so scared.

Dont get me wrong I would have happily done it for no reward, knowing I've done a good deed is good enough for me, and a thank you.
Lazy -ferret - well done bud, I don't know how people can just drive past. What if it was there family in the car?

That's exactly my thought, I would like to think that someone would do it for my wife, if she ever needed it.

Oh don't get me wrong the terrano has caught itself out (dampner & flexi probs last yr) in the most awkard places, i.e in turning lanes & is too heavy for me to push myself, did have several folk try & fail. ended up me & a lorry driver got it moved. thank feck.

but my pug's clutch went in a multi storey, recovery couldn't get in so i had to push it out Pregnant ATM no one helped me then, not even the security guards

so I've had both sides, as long as someone knows what they're doing i'm grateful for they're help. but the ones who have no clue are best just to drive by & keep out my road.
