MAY I use your columns, as a rather fragile 80-year-old, to thank most warmly two ladies who came to my aid when I tripped on a kerb in the Cables Retail Park at lunchtime on Friday, March 31. 


They could not have been more helpful and I shall never forget their kindness.


Though I don’t have any way of contacting them, I would like them to know that as a sign of appreciation I have donated £20 to the DEC Yemen appeal.
