Pleased to report that what seemed like a major disaster this morning has turned out really well. A lovely young lady at my work assisted by an equally helpful young man spent their lunchtime with me sorting out the puncture in the car tyre. There they were on hands and knees in the car park releasing the wheel nuts and changing the wheel for me - neither of them afraid to get their hands dirty. Not content with that, after lunch another colleague was dispatched by this young lady to check the tyre pressures and top them up with a foot pump. I've been told to go home early this afternoon, so that I can get the repair done.
There are some good people about - I hope that if ever you need them you'll find them too!!
