A nice contrast to the usual doom and gloom

A young mother is hoping to find a stranger on a train who left her a handwritten note calling her a "credit to her generation".

Sammie Welch, 23, from Plymouth, was travelling with her son Rylan, three, when a man handed her a note as she got off at Bristol.

The passenger wrote "Have a drink on me" and left her a £5 note after being impressed with her son's manners.

Ms Welch said: "I want to thank him personally."

I suspected good news is no news....

She's quite easy on the eye. Can't imagine a munter getting the same treatment no matter how her kids behaved.

I'd leave her a deposit too.

Arf arf!

Random people in hotels used to give money to my parents to spend on my brother and I when we were very young as we were both very polite and well behaved. I think they were relieved that their dinner times hadn't been ruined!

Fab story. Good manners and general goodness should be encouraged.
With booze money!
There you go love, nice kid, now go and get stfaced!


Seriously though, it's a great example.

Worst I fancied that Janner but she was too young for me so I left her a note instead ever!

Typical of how every minute, stupid detail is broadcasted over social media. How mundane and pathetic is the story. Annoys me on so many levels, yet continues to make news. Firstly, big deal, her child has manners. So do I, where's my fiver? Secondly, why be so patronising as to give someone a scrawly note and a fiver? And lastly, why would the recipient of this pitiful note and money then actively seek them out on Facebook? What was she going to say to the individual when she finds out who it is? Reeks of attempt at 5 minutes of internet fame. Next.

A stranger gave my son £50 "holiday money" as we were getting off a 747... we were the only family on the flight and the guy essentially admitted that when he saw us trudging down the aisle in London, kids in tow, realising we were heading for the 4 vacant seats next to him, he had the whole "FFS" thought process in which we would make his life a living hell for the subsequent 11 hours. He was genuinely amazed that we didn't.

I imagine her knickers to be quite lovely, perhaps of the french variety.
