Good deed for the day
Discussion
Old boy in front of me at a cashpoint in the local Waitrose takes out the full quota, £250, removes his card and walks off! When I go to insert my card I glance down and see the money, grab it and briskly walk after him to return it, for which he was most grateful.
Rather embarrassed by the gentle applause from the checkout staff and good wishes for my Euromillions ticket for tonight, but I did tell them that if I won I would make sure they could retire
Any other good deeds done today?

Not today but recently. My daughter knocked a young man off his bike, and of course the police and ambulance and Uncle Tom Cobley and all got involved over a couple of scratches, one for him and one for the car. My daughter was most upset, bought £50 of Halfords vouchers for a new helmet and went to see him. He was most polite about it all, and a couple of days back he came round with presents for her two children. No he isn't claiming, and I find it heart-warming that people can be so civil to each other in this day and age. Just like your story in fact, and let's hope your numbers come up.
Couple days ago I was walking down the aisle of a bus to get off. I stopped to let a bloke out of his seat in front of me, looked down and noticed he'd left his phone on the seat. Grabbed it and said, Excuse me, is this yours? He looked surprised at first, then had an "oh s
t that's mine!" face and couldn't stop thanking me 
t that's mine!" face and couldn't stop thanking me I was at a junction a week or so ago.
car in front looked like he was right turning and I was able to go up his left and turn left, he followed me out.
Note: Fiesta no indicators, so not an Audi.
In some ways I felt my actions were not right and didn't want to hack the driver off.
Got to next wet of lights go out and went to have a polite conversation along the lines of sorry for nicking your space...
Lad was so apologetic that he was in the wrong it was nice to see, but hopefully we both felt good, I did and that in a way is a good deed.

Bought something i didn't need from a lad on a rehab scheme after prison. he was selling stuff door to door in the most filthy weather so I invited him in and chatted while it blew over.

First one I encountered raised my suspicions because he came to the back door, which means he'd had a good look round the house to get there.

Was this in Shropshire by chance? We've got an outbreak of these at the moment. They're not on a rehab scheme. There is no rehab scheme involving door to door selling - it's a scam. They've got cheap stuff (usually cleaning supplies) that they sell at crazily inflated prices. They come out with lines like 'I need to do this to improve my CV so that I can get into real work' and other sob stories. All bullst. marshalla said:
