Friday the 13th went from bad to worse. 

Arriving at the cashier at Sainsbury’s Badger Farm my wallet, plus credit cards, always in my handbag was missing.

How to pay? What to do? When the gentleman next in the queue said “I’ll pay for your shopping” I accepted his kind offer in return for his address to reimburse him by cheque. 

Neither I nor the cashier could persuade him to divulge his address by which time he had paid for my groceries.

Could I through your publication thank the generous and wonderful gentleman for rescuing this old lady.
