Just a lovely story, one that makes me want to take the barrel of tar off the boil, hang the rope back on the wall and postpone a trip to the range:
“Today at my local supermarket, there was an elderly lady in front of me, kept checking how much she’s spending. Long story short, the amount came to over what she had, and she asked for certain items to be credited off.
“The Aldi cashier turned around and said, ‘It’s only £1 something over, I’ll pay it for you.’
“When it was my turn I said ‘what a lovely thing to do’ and the reply was ‘we are all battling at the moment and we need to eat’.”
Nothing like a bit of gratuitous kindness to help assuage the rage, is there?
I have seen similar things reported, both in the news and, occasionally, personally. I believe there is still a quiet kindness out there in the cold world. Folks will do what they can, as much as they can, and without any thought of publicity or reward. Like the story says, we’re all in this together.
we’re all battling? isn’t that the truth with Biden’s inflation

If we want to sing his calumnies, I like the way the word Joeflation flows trippingly from the tongue.
We do have to remember that it is not the fault of Joe alone, but it’s a Leftist phenomenon where they spend massive amounts of money we don’t have, and they can pay it back (yeah, right) with monopoly money that our savings miraculously turned into while we sleep each night.
I was watching a show last night from way back in the ’70s, and whoever the comedian was, he referred to the “staggering $3 TRILLION inflation.”
Wow, the good old days!

Yebbut: the battle isn’t over because a tool of the Man did something nice. (For which, all props.)
