It is said old people moan a lot, well maybe so, but we also like to give credit when due.

Recently I had the misfortune to experience a fire and it became prudent to call 999.

Although the firemen arrived very promptly the fire was out by the time they arrived.

However, I cannot praise the crew highly enough for their assistance in the aftermath and they even fitted smoke alarms for free.

Furthermore, the electrical company I had previously called, although they by then had a wasted journey, must also be praised for the help they gave. So again many thanks to all.
