Honest Citizens

Well so much for making a post once a day... my phones been cut off **boo hiss**, so until I can pay it I'm reduced to using PAYG :-(

Anyways I’m back to traveling on the train again in the mornings (Car troubles, I’ll talk about that later), which means I’m up at the crack of dawn every morning. This morning I saw a guy pull up outside the newsagents get out and whilst leaving the car running pop in the newsagents for a good 10 mins. All the while leaving his car out of sight and in front of a crowd of people waiting for the bus. Now in todays society where if you so much as drop a penny someone else picks it up, and whilst your bent over someone picks your pocket. Why would someone trust to leave their car unattended and running in front of a group of people who obviously have need of transportation? Any one of them could’ve gotten in that car and driven off saving themselves a sweaty bus ride to wherever they’re going. But they didn’t, why… because they’re all honest citizens on their way to work? Possibly, or is it because all the dregs of society are still in bed awaiting the afternoon call to the jobcenter to collect their giros? Most definitely. So that guy knew his car would be safe, so for that brief period in the morning the halcyon days your grandparents talk about where they left their front doors open still exists, all be it far too brief a moment.
