The Skool Run. - FotheringtonTomas

Dropped off a pupil at the school this morning. A wide two-way road in a town. A shop with half a dozen or so parking spaces in front of it on the opposite side of the road, double yellows elsewhere. No-one parked there! So, I indicated to pull over onto the opposite side of the road to park. A man in a big white van oncoming wanted to park along there too, to buy his paper. He stopped and left a car-sized space in front of his van for me to park in! Wow, thanks, WVM!! A cyclist was coming up fast behind the white van, so I paused to let him overtake the van and zoom on his way before I crossed the white lines to park. He gave a wave of thanks!!

Two examples of coutresy in a few seconds? It must be the advent of Spring!

I think you may be right, Frotters.

I've just been in the City doing a running repair on one of our car club Citroens.
Traffic warden, a proper one, chanced by and stopped to see what was going on.
It helped that she was blonde and attrective but we stood in the Sun and chatted about old Manchester and other topics for about 45 minutes. I didn't get the job done, not because of the chat, and we both went away on the best of terms, smiling.

Well, if I can bring a little pleasure into someone's life, etc.............

It'll take 30 years for you to be accepted, some incomers never are.

You know that, don't you?

To be serious for a moment: Good luck in your new surroundings.
