I was unfortunate enough to be taken ill on Tuesday last week, whilst out shopping with my wife.   

In no time, a delightful lady first aider appeared, followed closely by a chair, glass of water, bucket (just in case), and eventually a wheelchair.   

She very kindly took me back to our car, while my wife carried on with the shopping. She even stopped the traffic to allow the car to be backed out and me carefully installed. 

Through your paper, I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the prompt care given to both of us.
