Thanks - Good citizenship

The young man concerned politely refused my offer of a monetary reward for his good citizenship, saying modestly that he hoped that someone would do the same for him if he ever lost his phone.

I am extremely grateful to him for the prompt action he took on finding it and his readiness to make sure that I was reunited with it as soon as possible.

Its loss would have been a serious inconvenience to me, all the more so since I was a visitor to the area and may not have realised I had lost it until I was well on the way home to where I live in the Midlands.

It is comforting and inspiring to know that such gallantry continues to exist, despite headlines and rumours to the contrary.
