Whilst I was stomping down to the park for my constitutional this evening, an Asda delivery van went past me. It turned right, and a few seconds later I saw it parked and its driver in the process of delivering goodies. He greeted me cheerily so I returned the compliment.
"Do you remember me?" he continued.
"Sorry, I don't," I replied.
"I used to work for the council, gardening and picking up litter, mostly in Churchill Gardens. You used to come through there with a dog, and sometimes I'd see you on your bike. Well, you've been a real inspiration to me: my wife and I have recently bought bikes and since we've been cycling I've lost over 2 stones in weight."
We continued to pass the time of day for a while, talking about this and that, as you do, but I was dead chuffed by that.
