years ago i used to work for the a government scheme fitting locks for the elderly.(help the aged)
1 xmas i fitted some locks in this flat and there was an old man who had an old deck chair in his lounge with no furniture or home comforts.i was chatting to him in his kitchen and he was snuggled around his gas cooker with a burner ring going on the top which was keeping him and his hands warm.
when i finished he said thank you and went to give me a £10 tip.
i gave it to him back and wished him a merry xmas.
he obviously didn't have a lot of money and a lot will probably say he might have had thousands stashed away,but if you see the conditions he was living in it would have tugged on your heart strings to.
i thought what a lovely old man.
bit off the topic but it jumped in my head and i thought id share it.
regards
