A question of morals

That has swung me onto the 'keep it' side, grumpy people don't deserve it.
I was given too much change recently in my local chip shop, I go there probably once a fortnight, it was only £1 too much, but I told the lady and she thanked me very much and put it back in the till (this leads onto another question - if you give it back where will it go?), now when I go in I feel I get better service, a few of them recognise me and know what I want and they seem to select the best items to give me rather than taking the first.
It makes me feel better stood on the moral high ground..... BUT in your position I wouldn't waste my time taking it back, he doesn't sound like he desrves it, he might remember being short, but won't remember you, any thanks will be a mere token gesture, and if you take it back he won't even remember you next time you go in.
HIS LOSS, SPEND IT AND HAVE A HAPPIER CHRISTMAS

Speak for your own village!! :lol:
The things you have just mentioned there are a lot of the reasons we moved to where we are. I leave the car(and the house) unlocked for days on end. All the locals look out for one another, and everyone stops for a chat when passing. Even forgot the garage door one night and left it wide open all night with the lights blazing for all to see. :oops: Integral garage too! Door into the house unlocked, the full works. It's how village life is supposed to be, it's like stepping back in time. Inverness however, only 40 minutes away, total opposite, full of ignorant city dwellers, cutting you up, standing on your toes, shutting doors on you. Grrr. :wink:
Needless to say, I'm in no rush to move back down south.

It's not just villages, when I lived in Cambridge some of the local kids knocked on my door when i came home from work with the news
"the people next door have gone out and left their front door open with the keys in it, we've been watching it all day, but what should we do?"
So I took all the electrical stuff..... :twisted:
NO! I had a quick look around the inside armed with a large bat shaped object to make sure no-one was in, then left a big sign on the front door, locked it and took the keys.
And that was in a city :P

i once left 4trak unlocked, keys in the ignition over night!
normally if its not nailed down then it will go walkies, the local scotes must have thought it was a trap! :lol: extremely lucky tho!
