Sorry to hear of your bashing Rick, unfortunately there will always be the halfwit idiots who can prove nothing else.
But there are some decent people around. As some know I am currently looking for a job, today I went to Bedford for an interview (which actually went very well, so figures crossed) but also needed to be close to Euston for 2pm for another interview. So I drove down to Kings langley to get a train in. It was a good plan until the kiosk was shut for a "change over", and I didn’t have any change for the car park so although I could buy a ticket on the train, I would probably get a parking ticket. We could see the jobs worthy shuffling papers, he must have herd us through his mike, but the blind remained shut despite us tapping on the window.
My ample 15 minutes ran out very quickly, and I was about miss the train, when a young girl (aged 19-20) offered me the £3 in change, without any expectation of getting it back, she flatly refused to take the £5.00 note I tried to give her, and I didn’t have time to argue. So I was able to get a ticket and park, thankfully I managed to get change on the train from the ticket conductor and was able to pay her back.
It just restored my dwindling faith in people for a while.
