SIR: Would you kindly portray my thanks to a very kind gentleman and his son who assisted me on Saturday evening.
On Saturday evening at 9pm I was driving along Gilnow Road when my wheel clipped a kerb. As I overtook parked vehicles I did not notice the island in the road as the bollard has been removed and not replaced by the Council, which is surprising as the road is already badly lit due to the trees either side of the road. As a result, I had a burst tyre and damaged wheel. The aforementioned gentleman and his son, who live in nearby Park Road, kindly pushed my car and changed the tyre on my car which incidentally is only eight weeks old. They refused to accept any money as a sign of my gratitude.
The age of chivalry is not yet dead.
Thank you.
