WHILE out enjoying our recent Meditteranean-type weather, I met with a potentially serious accident, fortuntately just bruising, when I was thrown from my scooter.

While lying spreadeagled on the ground, two young gentlemen rushed to my assistance. I want to take this opportunity to thank them sincerely for showing that chivalry is not dead in West Kirby.
