Letter to Editor:- "Good Samaritan at the Southport Flower Show"

"MANY thanks to Simone and family who, through the wizardry of modern technology, helped me recover my mobile phone which I had lost on the Friday at the Flower Show, Also to who ever found it in the vicinity of the bowling green and handed it in. Such events restore one's faith in human nature. Merseyside has always been known for its friendliness, but at the moment it seems to me that the public in general is more alert to the needs of others and more responsive to the needs of others; a welcome antidote to recent events. It really gives us hope for the future."
