B4ev6is Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 But I respect his wishes but he is a private man but I just wish let us help him. Even if just vacum around for him or if just wants some put a duster around for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It's very kind of you to even think to help him mate. I think a lot of old folk especially are limiting contact to close family only at the moment. Keep an eye on him as best you can. I'm sure he appreciates your offer even if he does not take you up on it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 I help anybody if I can done for compelte strangers if old lady or old man if I see them struggleing often say to them pass that here carry it for you. If want dropping at gate or by front door. They often give me a look not going mug me are you and I say to them not all of us like that you know. I been taught respect my elders which seems put them at ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 We were umming and ahhing about asking our neighbour if he wanted help. He's only in his 70's I reckon but he does have Parkinson's. We didn't want to offend him by asking but he was really grateful and he's really worried about it all. Very glad we asked now. I asked my mum, also in her 70's the same thing and she nearly knocked me out. Changed her tune later today tho when she was moaning that she couldn't get any potatoes anywhere and I sent her a photo of this haul from me local farm shop! Had to go back and hook her up with some fresh veg dint I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
