I WOULD like to express my thanks to all those passers-by and local traders who helped me out when I took an unexpected "dive" to the hard pavement on Thursday, February 18.

I often hear it said that Warrington has become too big and impersonal. Well, having lived in Warrington all of my life, 77 years, I am pleased to say that my experience showed it has not lost it's warm nieghbourly heart. Again my thanks to those kind people for their help and concern.

JAMES YATES, Warrington
