I WOULD be grateful if you would publish a huge thank-you to the gentleman that handed in my handbag to the service desk at Asda Castlepoint on Saturday, January 8.

I shopped at Asda and when returning the trolley to the trolley park I stupidly left my handbag hanging on the trolley hook. This kind, honest gentleman did not leave his name and you can imagine my relief when I returned to Asda and found that the bag had not been stolen.

This certainly goes a long way to restoring one’s faith in honesty and I would like to have thanked him in person. I just hope he reads this.
