As a VW camper driver it's considered good manners to stop and help if you see one broken down. I used to do it, but frankly the bastards never even offer a fiver to cover the points you just supplied, fitted and timed up (for instance). Now I drive on by because if you are not prepared to maintain a 40-50 year vehicle you shouldn't buy one. I'm helping them see reality really. Many years ago me and a few mates went to Newquay for a bank holiday weekend. It happened to be the weekend of the run to the sun We must of seen a broken down vw every mile we drove. It dident help that it was a stinking hot day.

My good deed done today This morning at the Morrisons check out I was behind an old lady in the queue. Her bill came to Β£56.83 but when she counted out all her change she only had just under Β£50. I thought she was probably someoneβs Gran and Iβd like to think someone would have helped my Gran out when she was alive. She didnβt want me to help her but I insisted, and in no time we had all her shopping back on the shelves

I don't know why but I never saw that coming and that punch line got me

About a week ago I was walking from train station towards boat and this big woman got off a bus with far too much luggage and said "can you help me carry this to the hotel" I said "no". I hate carrying things and always travel light myself so why should I take responsibility for someone else's stupid lack of judgement?
I felt a bit "bad" but at the end of the day she was a twat.

Giggle No I helped a guy a few years ago with loads of baggage at a station. As it turned out he had just bought a one way ticket to India (fed up with England apparently) without booking any accomodaton. Really interesting guy. He's the one who left me with the words of wisdom "Don't ever expect things in life". It's held me in good stead since. I often wonder what happened to him?
