The one thing i don't see often is generosity between complete strangers not because people are spiteful but usually because people don't have much money. So needless to say i was in complete shock when last Saturday myself and bow were on the train home, our 3rd train in 4 hours so we were both fed up and wanting to get home. The train was really busy as it was a late train home so people were drunk and being merry, a couple sat opposite us at the table where we were, Bow got talking to them about what she had been up to as she was wearing a football shirt she was given at a charity event earlier in the day, she also explained that we were travelling home this late as we were doing our local race for life the next day and how she had only been sponsored £4. The male in this couple felt sorry for her he sponsored her £5 on the spot then to complete strangers on the train he shouted out to get their wallets and purses out so they could sponsor this girl and the shock is they did, just on that train ride she had raised £30.12p from complete strangers. They made a 10 year old girl very happy and still boasts about what happened and it still makes me smile.
