Ok, I put this in the Naafi because I didn't think it fitted anywhere else, but Moderators are at their liberty to transport it.
It just occurred to me how little community spirit we seem to have in these times. Oh, and please before I have 400 people from Liverpool telling me how their child's pushchair was jacked up,and the wheels nicked, hear me out, mother hubbards!
All I am proposing is that all of us who are able, look at what we can do for an elderly person (or lady without a strong chap) and without expecting money or (sexual) favours, do a bit of work for the person, for free.
Obviously, if their porch light is fucked, and a new one is required, buy and fit the new part and reclaim the cost, but if they're across the road or right next door and you cut their grass or pull their bin in, it's not a big effort on your part.
I'm going to start doing just this, and hopefully you will too.
Edited to say; you don't have to rebuild their house, just ask a neighbour who seems to be struggling if you can help?
