Well I think the further north you go the friendlier people become, I can remember I uncle who settled in Stanmore Middlesex after the war and I can remember him telling my mother that he had only just got to know his next door neighbour after 15 years and that, although he liked a drink, he stopped going to the local pub because he could stand at the bar for an hour and not one person would engage in a conversation with him, including the barman. In the old days, 50s and 60s, people round here walked in and out of everybody's home, people left their front doors unlocked when the went to the corner shop, and everybody helped one another, don't think that happens today to the same extent, but I do know one think, the number of people, who know my circumstance, who have offered help anytime day or night, is quite remarkable really and is very reassuring in deed, I can't thank you enough
