Gave the guy at the car wash a larger than usual tip since it was Easter hols and all. He was really pleased by this gesture and it made me happy to see.


Bumped into him walking out of the bookies a few days later, he insisted on giving me some of his winnings and wouldn't take no for an answer. ?500 quid, that will do very nicely, sir.

    • That's certainly the narrative that runs ad infinitum on the Forum but I wonder how true it is. Speaking for myself I'm very happy M&S, Superdrug, Pret and, in the last century, Sainsbury's arrived and judging from the business they do I'm not alone.
    • There are Christmas lights?! Or a, I missing something?
