Random Train Encounter

Ok quick, odd story I only just remembered because why not.

We were getting off the train in Sheffield, returning home from work, and in front of us was a man taking a bike off the train. He was struggling a bit and suddenly dropped the bike in the middle of the train door. We and the man had the following brief exchange:

TL: Oh dear.
Man: Is not a deer, is a bike!

We exited onto the platform:

Man: You hold for moment.

One of the team had the bike thrust into her hands while the man walked around the platform in little circles for about ten secomds. He then grabbed the bike and vanished through the station and into the night. Who knows what dreams he is now brightening.

"I owe my life to your charity"

I met a lady once while working for a cancer charity. The woman appeared quite frail and slightly started by my presence. I begun my pitch in the usual way, asking the lady how she was l, and she suddenly burst to life.

The lady proceeded to tell me how she had throat cancer six years ago, and since then she had been donating £20 a month to the charity I was representing. The strength of this woman, who had had her life turned upsidedown by her illness was amazing. She was incredibly proud to support the charity, and in her own words:

"If it weren't for the support and care I got I wouldn't be here. I owe my life to your charity."
