My son came home this evening from his job as a Tesco delivery driver and told me that he had spent an hour with one of his customers. The poor woman has Parkinson's and had been taken ill. He stayed with her until her daughter and an ambulance arrived. He could have left her to wait on her own, but that's not something he would do.

Thanks Sago.

Lovely to hear that the driver had kept his respect & sense of proportion in the mad rush that is delivery driving these days.

This is good to hear. I had to explain to a young worker who was late coming back from lunch ... she was baffled because she was stuck behind a line of cars going really slow.

She had never heard of a funeral procession, nor understood the traffic etiquette.

So nice to hear not all young people are so respectful but do we teach them such things nowadays

We were part of a funeral cortège today in the most awful weather conditions.

A young man in a Tesco delivery van stoped his van on a roundabout so the cortege could move through together.

He also had removed his hat.

Such respect.
