Old Fashioned Values

Because I cannot vent everything on the podcast, I have decided to vent a little here...and I have plenty to vent!

But today, a gentle tale of a gentleman. I cannot tell how I met him but it was not in easy circumstances, but throughout our time together he was polite and concerned with my needs. At the end of our brief time together he said to me, "before you take your return journey would you like to make yourself comfortable"? He pointed to what I presumed to be the WC. I declined, not being in need of comfort.

It just made me realise how observing manners and taking time to consider the needs of others seems to be a lost art and even though I am a cynic and can be sarcastic, this touched me.

This man, this gentleman, will stay in my memory for all the right reasons.

Have a nice day.
