IN this age of bad service and bad neighbours, I would like to thank my neighbours for their help. I have had no heating or hot water for several days. Seeing my plight my neighbours took pity on me and lent me fan heaters and support.

We are very quick to condemn people today, so here is one instance where a thought for someone else was very much appreciated.

I will not mention names but I hope that the neighbours in question will realise how grateful I am for their kindnesses.
