Suprised
Morning all - I wanted to share a quick story with you.
Last sunday a young man and his girlfriend broke down outside my property, and I went over to see if there was anything that I could do.
Turns out - he ran out of fuel. So I took him down to get some gas and he was having issues with his card. "I know what you are thinking - conveniently" anyway I paid for the gas and we got them back on the road.
I said to the young man, you know where I live, come drop off the cash. A few days went by, and to my surprise. He knocked on my door and handed me the cash.
All I have to say to this young man, Well Done - you are a credit to your family.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
