SINCE submitting my article for the Wiltshire Times Travelwise competition last Friday, I have been given a couple more examples of differing attitudes.
An acquaintance mentioned in passing that her daughter, who is younger than 30, had gone out to fill her car with petrol at a 24-hour service station, because she was leaving early the next morning.
In Trowbridge, I then met another woman acquaintance, in her fifties, who had walked from Silver Street Lane to Hilperton to call in on her elderly mother-in-law, had walked back, bought her shopping and was walking home with it.
As I said to her, she was a splendid example.
She replied that it made her angry that everyone had legs but few seemed to use them fully.
