SIR – I had a fall outside Tesco Express in the early evening, much to my embarrassment.

I would like to thank all who came to help, the Big Issue vendor whose spot is outside the shop, two more gentlemen and a lady with a dog, all of whom helped me to my feet (I’m not the lightest to lift!) and especially the young security man who brought me a chair after helping me into the shop, and stayed chatting to me till I gained my equilibrium. Thank you all.

MARIE COX Worcester
