When home shopping driver Don from our Trafford Park store saw an 84-year-old man had taken a tumble he helped him into his house, cleaned him up, phoned for medics and then, after he'd finished his shift, went round with some fish and chips!
Don had just delivered a customer's shopping when he heard the gentleman trip on the pavement and hit his face as he headed to his front door. Don said: "I went over to see how he was, called 999 as I thought he should be checked over and got some tissues out of the van to clean up the bleeding. He was a bit wobbly, but I managed to get him into the house, sat him down and got him a coffee. When I finished my shift I thought I'd just get him some fish and chips. Medics had been and dressed his wounds and advised him to stay inside for a day. I just kept him company for a while and we had a nice chat and he told me that he lived on his own and had no family nearby. I saw him a few weeks later and he looked a lot better.
"The gentleman was very grateful and couldn't thank me enough, but I said to him that I just couldn't leave him."
