Re: A favour to ask.
Kate, I would bet that they do help those who cannot reciprocate, because the kind of reciprocal neighbourliness fosters care about others in the area....it is almost a mindset.....thinking of others. Not that I'm saying it doesn't happen here too.....but I know that some older folk are fiercely independent and will not ask for help.....but would take it in certain circumstances, if offered.(My ma is of this genus)
