I MUST express my sincere thanks to a very kind gentleman who came to my assistance when my car broke down on Thornton Common Road on Saturday, October 14, at around 7pm.

My car had a complete electrical failure and had stopped in the middle of a dark country road, without any lights and I was unable to move my car myself.

The gentleman is a painter and decorator I think, and he kindly assisted my relative, when he arrived, to move my car off the road, avoiding danger to myself and others.

Thank you so much for helping me out of a very frightening situation, when I was alone on a very dark road.
