I don’t mean sexual, just some random encounter, whether it was positive or negative doesn’t matter, just someone who’s stuck in your memory for whatever reason, even though you never saw them before or seen them since.

The 90 year old man I sat next to on the bus a few years ago who started telling me about his knee problems (as I had groaned and lowered myself into the seat).

He went on to tell me about his medication and then said he didn't like it because he struggled to get an erection on them, and produced much less semen.

My AA man from when I got run over. He looked after me until the ambulance arrived and gave me his hankie to cry into.

He wasn’t the one who ran me over either - which is another point in his favour

Woman at work

Her kid was playing up something rotten and she did the whole "if you carry on we're going home"

Anyway, as I was bringing the food out she asked if it could be boxed up instead to take away. I sorted it and then I thanked her for following through with things and told her I thought she was doing an awesome job.

She burst into tears and just threw herself at me hugging me.

Through the tears she told me that the child's dad worked away a lot and his behaviour got worse when his dad was at home. That he lets the child get away with murder and it takes ages and endless effort to get the child back on track again after dad leaves for months again for work.

Her and the dad had just had a big row about it (which i didn't know) and she was just soooo thankful I backed her up without knowing the circumstances.

Me and her were both bawling just holding each other in the end!

There was a guy I once saw outside the hospital, quite d*unk and was carrying a bottle. I spoke to him for a good hour or so and he told me a lot about his kids and everything he had lost through alcohol. After a lot of talking, I convinced him to put down the bottle and come inside. I passed him over to the crisis team and he thanked me. Whilst I never saw him again, I do hope he got the help he needed.

I had a letter posted by mistake at my house it was for a care home nearby so I was walking in and he was walking out and he was crying, I autimatically said hello and he apologised for crying, we sat on the seats in the garden and I let him talk, I listened, he said he hadn't seen his mum in months because of Covid he lived abroad and his mum paid for his house, and she couldn't remember who he was, I consoled him he brightened up and thanked me for listening and I had made him feel better. Was a strange moment..

Under the Duvet

About 10 years ago I used to take the child to a public garden in the city centre and used to notice an old guy sitting on a bench in the sunshine most days.

We got talking one day and I realized he had extensive facial scarring.

Turned out he was an RAF pilot who had crashed and was captured by the Germans and spent time as a POW.

When he got back to the UK eventually he became a member of the Guinea Pig club and had early experimental plastic surgery on his face and hands.

He was absolutely fascinating to talk to and had a great sense of humour too.

At the time I thought blimey someone should be writing this all down.

I always think of him when I go to the Bluecoat gardens.

She then grabbed my balls in such a way that I could not get her off. This lasted about 10 minutes until some bouncers realised what was happening and prized her off.

London in the early 90’s, walking home alone from a club. Big guy stopped me to talk, clearly drug or mental health issues but I listened to his story about his best friend overdosing in his flat a few days before. Suddenly pulled a knife and pressed it against my chest, keeping it there for some time as I did my best sympathy act. Then just as suddenly put it away, shook my hand and walked on.

Always taxis home from then on.

I was in a club call Red Rooms and as we was leaving my eyes met the eyes of this gorgeous looking blonde. As she smiled the din of the deep red lighting reflected in her eyes, coupled with her cherry red lipstick, beautiful white teeth and amazing smile and amazing beauty, she looked spellbinding, devilish and heavenly and just ingrained in my memory for ever I guess.

I actually gasped and felt captivated and to this day wonder why the hell I didn’t stop a talk to her.

I was a bit like “ok thank you I’ve been waiting for it to arrive” he apologised again and handed it over.

The guy I stopped to pick up late one night. He said his car had broken down so I offered to give him a lift home. As we drove off I noticed flames coming from an industrial bin next to a sports centre. I stopped the car and phoned the fire brigade, then with the guy's help wheeled the bin away from the wall into the empty car park. Anyway, fire brigade arrived and thanked us both. Job done, so drove the guy home and went home myself. Next day I got a call from the police. They told me that the guy I picked up had admitted that he started the fire in an attempt to burn down the sports centre, from where he had recently been sacked.

Slightly hungover, walking down the strret in Glasgow about 4 years ago i must have been looking at a guy without realising it. We caught each other's eye, and continued to look at each other until we passed by around fifteen or so paces later.

As he walked by he said softly in a thick Glaswegian accent "You all right pal?"

I've often wondered if he fancied me, thought I was trying to stare him out, considered whether i was a mental case, or just looked totally lost.

Maybe none of the above, but yeah, that's the story. That's the random stranger that has stuck in my mind since.

I used to work at the supermarket and one day an elderly man approached me and with a serious voice asked me what my name is. I didn't remember serving him that day, but I thought he was going to complain about me for some reason. I told him my name and he smiled, turned out he just wanted to start a conversation and since then he and his wife came to ask me how I am every time when they came shopping.

Even though I haven't seen them for over 5 years now I still think about them sometimes and wonder if they are well as they were the loveliest customers I've ever met.

The man who paid for my parking at the hospital the night my dad died. My brother and I had rushed to the hospital after getting a call in the early hours one morning that dad had taken a turn for the worst. Sadly he passed away when we left to go home we both realised we had no money as we had rushed to get there when we got the call. A really nice man saw how upset I was and paid the parking fee for me. I still to this day am very grateful to him.

We have two

One time me and the Mes were walking through another town and passed by a group of 19-20 somethings and all we over heard was “shit on your leg”.

Ever since then we will randomly sing out to each other “shit on your leg!” for no real reason.

The other one was a woman we saw in town many years ago on a hot summers day.

She was with all the usual d*unks and had her back to us, was wearing shorts and a low cut top which left a nice view of her lower back.

A lower back with a rather large shit stain leading up from her shorts!

Years ago walking home around midnight, young man with a severe disability out in his electric wheelchair panicking telling me his house was on fire. Went in the house with him. He had padded ‘bumpers’ on his kitchen cupboards to protect them from the chair. He had been cooking something and the pan had gone on fire. I soaked a couple of towels, sorted the pan and put out the small fire on his cupboard. Made sure all was okay, he said thanks and I carried on going home. Never seen him again

I went to a huge event in Munich (München), with 15+ friends. We were all on a tram heading out from the city centre to our hotel. A male stood up and as I was close to the door, straddling suitcases, I moved slightly to my right, he then proceeded to do a little dance type thing on my left leg.

He then said 'why thank you' and got off the tram.

The crowd I was with thought it hilarious and he's become known as the 'Munich tango'. I was more shocked that he spoke to me in English than anything else but that's the only stranger that will probably be forever remembered by us lot. It was a very memorable boundcon event as well

I'm frequently amazed by stories that spill latterly from these heroes, always wonder why we haven't heard them before. Bravery writ large.

Travelling in France summer of 1978 by train sat opposite a French girl who was travelling to the same town of Troyes. We booked a cheap hotel room during the afternoon and went sightseeing. It was a great afternoon including a couple drinks on the sunshine. She asked around for a cheap local restaurant which we found. Had a fantastic meal of coarse boar pate, kidneys cooked on red wine, cheese, and citron tarte. We had a wonderful evening and night together. In the morning it was Market day so we packed up wandered round the town tasting lots of food. At noon we kissed and went our separate ways. Have often wondered where she is mow’

There and to the left a bit

There have been many down the years where paths have crossed fleetingly, sometimes with humour, sometimes with kindness and others for any number of other reasons and they all come to mind from time to time and spark a memory and a smile, or in some instances a grimace.

The one that keeps coming back to me though when I see this thread is a guy late night in Trafalgar Square where I was waiting for a night bus - I was being hassled by two blokes after a minor altercation after they bumped into me - he was a big guy, stepped in, told them to do one, and made sure I got on my bus safely - small thing, but one that prevented a probably painful outcome for me and has stuck with me ever since.

I remember more than a few years ago now when I was about 19 getting on a Spanish train for a trip to Barcelona.

I sat down with a guidebook and the lady opposite struck up conversation, she was from New Zealand and told me she'd been travelling for 4 months in Europe and that she'd been to Barcelona a couple of days before. She was lovely and gave me a few tips on places to visit and also proceeded to tell me about a travellers rail card as she was going through to Narbonne!

I sometimes think about where else she ended up going and I thought she was pretty cool and adventurous at the time.

hiding from cock pics.

A woman who waited outside a shop for me. She had watched me smell some perfume they had on offer on the counter and heard my daughter ask for chewing gum and me say no. She bought the perfume and chewing gum and when we came out of the shop gave them to us, she had wanted to do us a good deed.

It was an amazingly kind thing for somebody to do.

Travelling back from my college interview in Essex, there was this gorgeous girl across the carriage from me, wearing a very pretty floaty flowery dress, and she was a similar age to me (18 at the time). She was beautiful, I could barely keep my eyes off her (you know what it’s like on a train when someone catches your eye lol), but I just couldn’t bring myself to speak to her.......! Anyway, we got to London, and I had to get over to Euston to get another train North, and she disappeared in to the crowd.......

Got myself sorted with the change over, and as the train left Euston, I got chatting with a couple of lovely ladies who had been to a works conference, and they obviously took pity on this young lad by himself. They were great company on the journey North, and the time slipped by nicely. It was when we stopped in Crewe though, when I saw that gorgeous girl in the flowery dress again! She had obviously been in the next carriage all that time, but disembarked here! I’ve mentally kicked myself so many times over the years, for not being brave enough to get chatting early in the day

Who knows what may have come from that long journey together.........

"About 10 years ago I used to take the child to a public garden in the city centre and used to notice an old guy sitting on a bench in the sunshine most days.

We got talking one day and I realized he had extensive facial scarring.

Turned out he was an RAF pilot who had crashed and was captured by the Germans and spent time as a POW.

When he got back to the UK eventually he became a member of the Guinea Pig club and had early experimental plastic surgery on his face and hands.

He was absolutely fascinating to talk to and had a great sense of humour too.

At the time I thought blimey someone should be writing this all down.

I always think of him when I go to the Bluecoat gardens.

Not many people know of the Guinness Pig Club. Well done to you. What a hero that man was x

A receptionist working at a solicitors:

I accidently put my foot in it, big time, when she threw a piece of paper away, that had some details I needed. She kindly started looking through the bin and I said something like "You've done a lot of work today....with the bin overflowing with paper."

I then got called into the solicitors office and there was a knock at the door. Receptionist walks in and says "I found that piece of paper with your shoe size on."

I then realised what I'd said to her, and was seriously mortified. So, sent a bunch of flowers to her at work, an hour later saying sorry.

at download one year... we were front row, Korn were just about to rip into a song when I noticed a girl with her fingers through the mesh right next to me, I tried to get her to let go but she didn't understand.. the music starts.. the crowd surges... her fingers stayed where they were, at least 3 badly broken sideways! I grabbed her before she fell and managed to get her out of the pit along with the random guy next to me who immediately grabbed the other arm and helped me get her safely out. We both lost our privileged spots up front but handed her off to paramedics at the door and started to push through the crowd again.. he leans in and says... I haven't even got any shoes on! Then giggled the rest of the way back through (adrenaline is strange) Sure enough the crazy bugger has no shoes on.. in a Korn mosh pit... never saw either of them again.

I Hope her hand healed, but this big metal head giggling with no shoes on still makes me laugh.

When i was a teenager around the year 2000, i was stood on a street corner, waiting for friend to turn up

From nowhere, this old chap with a medal on his jacket comes up to me and starts asking if i know about Ginger Lacey?

I admit to him ive never heard the name before, and he proceeds to tell me the life story of this World War 2 pilot... now the old boy tells me that Ginger shot down the Red Baron, which i found out later was complete bollocks, but the rest of the story was mostly spot on.

He then shuffled off as mysteriously as he arrived and left me stood there alone with this name burned into my mind.

When i looked up Ginger a few years later, i was thinking maybe the chap WAS Ginger, trying to get some recognition, or to make sure people remember his story.. but he died in 1989.

S0 god knows who the man was, but I never forgot the name Ginger Lacey after that.

I was working in the city. One morning, walking from the station at Farringdon, from a door I'd never noticed before walked the most stunning Japanese woman, dressed like a character from a Manga comic book, and proceeded to walk in front of me in the crowd. Short skirt, leggings, heals, and a corset so tight I have no idea how she could breath. When she moved her arms you could see her large breasts, and her post tail whipped from side to side. Then, as quickly as she appeared she was gone, never to be seen again. To this day, she was so fabulous I wonder if I was hallucinating.

I was reminded of this one this week after seeing Garth Brookes murdering Amazing Grace.

I had a music teacher in Junior school, who was very oldschool, twinset and pearls , cats eye reading glasses,the whole lot.

She was very particular in the way we sang, and if Garth had come out with that Am-Aze-Ing Grace, she would have proper told him off "No no no! It's Amazing!Amazing! All one word! I don't want to hear Am-Aze-Ing! Now try again!"

Garth wouldn't have got away with Am-Aze-Ing on Mrs Fielder's watch!

Years ago we were in Winchester bus station having a passport photo taken in a photo booth.

Whilst we were waiting for the photo to develop an elderly lady came and sat with us.

This was a quiet Sunday morning.

She looked a lot like Joan Hickson and seemed sweet.

She then told us her life story, about how she taught sex education in Africa and was not sparing in lurid details.

When she finished she thanked us for listening and wandered off into town.

One for the never to forget incidences.

When I was around 13 I was bike riding in France with my mother, who was showing off.

I think in her head she was doing the Tour De France.

Anyway we went round a roundabout and she flew off the bike and skidded along the road.

Being a typical 13 year old I was mortified, rather than worrying if she was ok.

Luckily two old fellas came out from a big house across the road, picked mum and her bike up, sat us in their front garden and bathed her leg (which had half the road stuck to it), patched her up and sent us on our way.

Even in my fug of teenage mortification I realised how kind they were.

Maybe a lot of people came off their bikes at that roundabout...

I was a volunteer for a well known charity and we would have visitors come into the centre to talk about their problems.

A homeless young guy walked in and I took him into a room to have a chat and listen to whatever he wanted to tell me. I can’t go into detail but his story has never left me, it was horrifying said in a matter of fact way as that just life, for him. I hardly spoke just listened.

Whilst he spoke he pulled out a penknife from his pocket, we had cameras in the room and a panic button but as the only other people in the building were two older women (I was in my early thirties) I knew if he got violent I was on my own. However he used it to start cleaning his nails whilst talking about his past. Then he stopped looked at me and then his knife and immediately apologised profusely and put it away, fully aware of how it looked and potentially scary situation he caused unknowingly. I told him not to worry (although I was concerned that the Police could’ve been called once the knife had been produced, by one of the ladies upstairs) and it happens occasionally and that I didn’t feel threatened.

His concerns after that incident was all about me and not long after left, as he was walking out consistently telling me how much he appreciated us and our service and he’d never harm any volunteer. I tried to make him feel better but could see it had distressed him and when he left I had to spend a lot of time talking to a leader as I was concerned, due to his mental health and guilt he could harm himself.

I did do a search for him after my shift, the office is in Manchester City centre to see if I could find him, but to no avail.

I will never forget what he told me and I like to think I’m a better person because I met him. He changed my attitude about certain things and as a survivor of the abuse he’d suffered and his inherent decency makes me aware that you truly can’t judge anyone until you actually hear their story and how they came to be the person they are now.

I never saw him again or heard that he came into the office, but I left not long after.

I truly hope I helped him that day as much as he helped me.

Well there are strangers who were racist to me that I'll never forget and there are women who approached, flirted with me and seduced me to sleep with them who I'll never forget as well.

Will probably never forget the sexy slim blonde lady who I met it in a pub in Bristol and after telling me she had a bf, we talked and bantered and then started to make out (about a block from the pub/club, this was in August of last year btw) and she asked to see a pic of my dick and after I showed her she asked to suck my dick right out in the open in the alleyway and while she was sucking my dick, her bf (turns out to be her fiancee who lived with her) was calling her to find out if she was ok as it was pretty late and when I asked if she was going to answer her phone she said she was enjoying this to much.

She then rode my dick and I hit doggystyle standing up, the sex was good (not mind blowing) but it was memorable because it was the first time I ever had sex in public (much less with a stranger) and just one block from the pub where we met. I can still remember her full lips, blue eyes and blonde hair, what a night lol.

Shangri-La

Sat at the side of the pool at kids swim lesson and a women id never met or have done since sat next to me while arraning the goggles on her triplets heads. I said hello and asked if i could help as she looked very harassed. She kept saying she was ok and could do it and went a bit OTT with the "I can handle it" stuff". She eventually gave in and let me help. As soon as the kids were in the water this woman turns to me and says sorry for being so snappy. Its ok I say and tell her it must be such are hard job to cope with 3 all the age. This woman then starts crying and i kid you not in the 30 minutes that followed she did not stop tearing up and talking about how much she is struggling, at home, with the kids, porblems with her husband. I just let her talk and talk and talk. After 30 mintues and the kids getting out the pool she said, im so sorry i dont know why i told you all that, i dont even know you, but thank you so much for just listening.

May not sound remarkable but ill always remember that and how me doing nothing but listen helped even if just for that short time. I learnt alot from it.

Parked up in my lorry when I was driving. A couple parked in their car directly in front of me.

The guy knocked on the door and asked if he could take a photo of my truck with his wife in the driving seat. 'Sure no problem' the wife sat in the drivers seat and posed for half a dozen photos. The husband then said 'could she wear my high vis' i agreed thats when she took off her coat and was stark naked. She put my jacket on and posed with her tits and fanny on display.. 'fuuuck me' i said. 'Do you want me to fuck this nice guy?' the wife said.. 'Do you mind drive' he said. So with a raging hard on i had her sucking my cock fanny in face, and cock balls deep in her cunt.. Once he'd finished his photos he asked to get in my cab where he fucked his wife while she sucked me off. They said thanks and got out and got in their car. Didn't even find out their names.. I will never forget it

A woman I met who'd been physically abused by her husband sticks with me.

I was working at the Procurator Fiscal's office (Scottish criminal prosecution service). It was lunchtime and there was a call from reception. The victim in a domestic abuse case wanted to speak to someone about it. This was not unusual. What was unusual is that all the lawyers best placed to talk to the woman were out and as the admin on the case I was the only person around.

Fairly typically, and very tragically, an abused partner will get in touch to ask for a case dropped. A lawyer will tell them that when a crime is committed it's the decision of the Crown Office to prosecute, not the victim or witnesses etc. I girded my loins and prepared to do the same.

What I actually found was a fierce and entirely self-assured woman who despite a precarious situation wanted to know how long her husband would be jailed. She was an immigrant, so not familiar with the system, and wanted the book thrown at him.

She told me: "He's been begging me for forgiveness and saying he won't ever do it again. I told him, you sign a contract saying if you ever touch me again I get all your money and property and everything you own and I'll forgive you, but he said no so I told him no chance."

She was so feisty. It was great.

A long time a go now, a group of total strangers from a local Rotary Club knew I was struggling on many levels and also knew I was doing my best to get out of the situation I was in. They gave me £6, meant I could eat that week, I wept when the woman gave me this on their behalf, I had never known this kind of kindness before, Will never forget that nor how easy anyone's life can slip.

Another work one.

I was working in the kids play area. Normal day, not packed but not quiet, most tables were taken, so probably about 30 adults in there, same amount of children.

A couple came in with their 2 kids, older one that went in to play and a munchkin, about 7 months I'd say.

He seemed aggy and kept going into the baby change room, but not taking the baby. There was a toilet in there tho so I assumed that's what he was doing.

Anywhooo, he came back over to the lady holding the little one and started ragging her around, hitting her and shaking her. It was just in front of the counter and I didn't know what to do. Work head says phone police, human head says fucking help. As he's shaking her she's losing grip of the child so my mind was made up. I flew over the counter and literally caught the baby as if was falling. I ran to the phone and called the police and now he's walking towards me and I've got his child. I thought I was fucked big time. Phone under my chin, baby in one hand and I grabbed the broom with my other hand and outstretched it to hopefully keep him at a distance and protect myself but moreso the baby.

He went, police came. Obviously they viewed the CCTV and stuff and saw him throw and object from the car park over the top of the building. Went to the back where he threw it and it was a screwdriver.

We were so lucky neither me, her or anyone else got stabbed.

Not a single person helped when it was happening. Not one.

I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders for the probably only 5 mins it lasted, but it felt like ages.

I often wonder what the outcome was.

I’ve thought of about 5 encounters I’ve had, but they either sound like humble bragging or total bollocks.

"Another work one.

I was working in the kids play area. Normal day, not packed but not quiet, most tables were taken, so probably about 30 adults in there, same amount of children.

A couple came in with their 2 kids, older one that went in to play and a munchkin, about 7 months I'd say.

He seemed aggy and kept going into the baby change room, but not taking the baby. There was a toilet in there tho so I assumed that's what he was doing.

"3yrs ago I tried to save the life of a young man who had rolled his van trying to take a sharp corner too fast.

I saw it happen so I attended to him immediately but there was little I could do in his last few minutes.

But there was, he didn't die alone and if he were a relative of mine, that would be a massive and lifelong comfort.

How are you coping with the memory?"

There was a certain amount of shock etc for a while after but I was surprisingly calm at the time.

This has little bearing on the situation as he was a young family man and there's tragedy no matter what but he was a gypsy who was driving so fast because he'd just committed a robbery. I'd witnessed him hit another car as he ran a red light I was stationary at. The lights quickly turned green for me and 100m further on is where he made his fateful turn.

I tried my best but I lost his pulse within minutes.

"The woman in a fitting room who decided to pass comment on how small chested I was and that what I had tried on needed a much better bra than the one I had on for starters.

I was utterly gobsmacked.

I didn't buy the item and left in tears wondering how people had the balls to say that shit to someone they didn't know.

Unfortunately some people can only make themselves feel big is by making others feel smalle. And just stinks of jealousy on her part.

Ps you fucking kidding me? I just checked your pics...she was definatly jealous!! Your stunning x"

I've had my boobs done since that happened. I was flat chested at the time.

I bet they don't. Everyone has lived different lives and been in different situations. It's good to hear I think, and who knows maybe others can learn or even gauge the type of person we are.

Double edged sword. I was glad it was me coz I think any of the others that worked there at the time would have frozen.

Hitchhiking in Italy as a teenager. Just outside Genoa a red Ferrari stopped and I got in. Large Italian guy driving, proceeded to drive at a fast 120mph while drinking whiskey from a bottle and talking non stop Italian which I didn’t understand. Fortunately he shared the bottle and he dropped me off in Milan completely pissed and shaking.

When I worked in a well known supermarket years ago I was walking down an aisle in my lovely orange check nylon uniform when a little kid stopped in front of me and said "Hello fat lady"!

I actually looked behind me to see who he was talking to!

Then I drop kicked the little bugger into the nearest chiller

(In my head

I can laugh about it now but at the time I was mortified!

"Woman at work

Her kid was playing up something rotten and she did the whole "if you carry on we're going home"

She burst into tears and just threw herself at me hugging me.

Her and the dad had just had a big row about it (which i didn't know) and she was just soooo thankful I backed her up without knowing the circumstances.

Me and her were both bawling just holding each other in the end! "

Just shows how the simplest of things can help someone

Some geordie lad put an extra hour on my parking in London once, back in the days of being actually able to put cash into a meter. There was a traffic warden floating around and I got back to the van about 5 mins after my ticket ran out. I’ll never forget him telling me to buy him a pint of stout the next time he was in London.

At work a guy came in all crazy and demanding stuff.

He showed a hand grenade and said he'd pull the pin if we didn't sort things out.

There were 3 of us staff and for some, still to this day, unknown reason we all burst out laughing. Which diffused the situation and we sorted his issue out.

After he'd gone I realised we should probably tell the police...

Loving reading these, this is a great thread.

My favorite one is going into a shop and there was a young teenage boy crying hysterically, after calming him he explained that he'd just left his phone on the bus and he need to call his mum to say he'd be abit late home and now he couldn't call and had lost his phone so was in trouble twice now.

So then we decided to see if we could catch the bus at the last stop, which was about a mile down the road. As we were running it went past us the other way and we chased it again, catching it again just last the shop we started at. His phone was still on the seat, a quick thumbs up both ways and off he went.

Ive always wondered if he his mum believed the story when he spoke to her or thought it was a made up to try and hide the fact he was late home

There was a lady who slipped outside her home and quite elderly. She was just sat there with mud on her face and just looking extremely upset. Asked If she was okay and started to help her to her feet. (she was trying to deliver a Christmas card to her neighbour)

And started to just chat away to calm her down. Went to her house a few doors down and knocked on for her husband to come help her home. She thanked me and asked for my name and her whole family thanked me for staying with her.

A Swiss girl I met on the beach in the south of France, and it was many years ago. She was topless and we swam out to one of those rafts that are tethered out at sea. We were the only ones on it and we sunbathed and chatted for ages before swimming back to shore. She was the most beautiful person I have ever met but she was returning home the next day and after spending those few hours together, I never saw her again.

He literally couldn't speak at 1st, the shop keeper was just looking at him doing nothing as well. The smile after the thumbs up was brilliant though.

Under the Duvet

Near the middle of LockDownOne (cast your mind back) the Child and I had gone to the local park and were having a pine cone fight when we ceased fire to let an older lady get past.

She ended up standing and chatting with us for a bit, nothing earth shattering, just passing the time of day for 15 minutes or so.

At the end of our convo she thanked us and said we were the first "real life" people she had spoken to in a fortnight and it had cheered her up.

That really gave me pause to think.

I've not spotted her since, do hope she's got through the rest of this never ending lockdown ok.

The artist David Hockney, he used to often sit painting up the lane behind my parents house when I still lived there and I used to say hello to him when walking my dog, I just thought he was some random stranger doing his retirement hobby, it was years later I found out he's a world famous artist whose work sells for millions!

The other one I'll never forget is the 16 year old lad from the naughty kids home who ran out and beat me up for no reason when I was 10 years old and walking past with my cousin. He chased us and caught me round the corner, threw me against the wall then punched me to the floor. Aside from the bloody nose and black eyes it was a big shock to me and I was scared of older lads for a few years after that.

I retired at 55 to travel, spend time with grandchildren, family and friends and just be a lady that lunches. It lasted a year before I became bored to tears, so I decided to do temp work.

One of my assignments was as an enrolling officer at a college.

One of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen sat in front of me and enquired about the ESOL (English as a Second Language) course. I ran through the details with her, answered her questions but she never looked at me always down. I said to her she'd enjoy the course but she should consider the next level as her English was very good.

She looked at me for the first time and said is it? I said we're holding a conversation in English. I've not asked you to repeat anything neither have you: we're conversing and I'm suggesting this level you've already surpassed. She said the people I work with keep shouting at me, calling me stupid and saying they don't understand me, why don't I speak English in England.

I said to her your English is fine. They are probably intimidated by you because you are absolutely stunning and I can see you don't know it. Hold your head high, let people see your beautiful eyes and perfect smile, don't let them belittle you. She looked at me and burst into tears.

She said I'm the first person in the two years she'd been in the UK who had said anything nice to her. An ugly oaf of a man came over and asked her why she was crying. I said she's a little overwhelmed with the procedure. He asked if we were finished, grabbed her up and told her to pull herself together.

She turned and smiled at me but she no longer looked sad. I hoped my pep talk gave her the confidence to make positive changes.
