I WOULD like to give special thanks to three very nice and helpful people who took great care of me after I fell in the Market in Blackburn on Tuesday, July 29.

They are Janet, the nurse, and Margaret and also the young fellow whose name escapes me. But he described himself as a "Thoughtful Skinhead with a Heart of Gold" - and that is just what he was.

I am doing OK now. Many thanks.

MARGARET GRAINGER, Blackburn (full address received).
