Rare MMDown Under Posted January 1 Author #9 Share Posted January 1 1 hour ago, Cbtours said: ???? As in TOOK all??? Or took them to your house 🥺🥺🥺 I'm sorry. My keyboard jammed. I kept coming back to it, to no avail. He took ALL my heavy shopping bags, told his wife in the passenger seat to shove over and follow us around the corner. (He had parked illegally in a bus stop). As his wife parked in front of my house, the green bin truck driver waited patiently to collect my green bin, as she ran around the back of the big black vehicle back to her passenger seat. . Michael of Hope Island, what a gentleman!, ably supported by his wife, who waved as they drove off. Anglers Paradise, a place name, in the old northern part of the Gold Coast, is a wonderful friendly place for seniors to live. Even though an inpatient driver once told my elderly neighbour 'He should get a horse and cart" and his indignant elderly wife gave them "the finger". A day doesn't go by that someone doesn't offer to help me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
