If it was me I wouldn't DM you. A deed done not for thanks.

Maybe another reason...true story. I was in my local corner supermarket and in a hurry. An old chap got all confused about his money and counting. It was about £8.32 or something and I , of course was behind him still in a hurry. I just paid for his shopping and with a body swerve avoided him thanking me for the next half hour.

Same mate, but likewise my manners are such I would like to thank this person if I could for helping out. I’d not take up half an hour I promise 🤣🤣🤣

Terrible thing to do, you should have done the Jamie Oliver thing and bought them a bottle of water each and a courgette and lentil souffle.
 
Back in the ninety’s I ran my own small bus company and got a job picking up at the Taps in Lytham , a big birthday do with a massive spread of food in the pub , Most of the food was brought on the bus and the party went on to Manchester . Carn’t recall if they went to watch Rugby etc and then on the ale , night out until the early hours . They said fill your boots driver, but after a few chicken legs I was done ! The homeless and needy city centre people had a good feed on the night , the Law even rocked up thinking they had robbed a food establishment . I got a sense of something good had come from it all, a good feeling still not forgotten 👌

I'll have you know that Yorkshire Seasiders are a very decent bunch, when we arrive at a pub we all stand back to push someone forward through the door and to the bar saying after you, no after you, no after you, ad infinitum. It's also not our fault that you can only purchase trousers with long pockets. Now then, the long pockets are to keep your ferrit in and to protect your cash, they can give a nasty nip tha na's.🤪🤪
 
One Xmas I was stood next to a mate at an ATM that he was using and there was a tramp stood next to me.

When the money came out (£200) that my mate was withdrawing I grabbed it - gave it the tramp and told him to run.

The tramp duly obliged - I was in apoplexy while my mate was not best pleased 😂😂😂

I convinced him it was a good deed that he could easily afford 👍👍
 
There is also that other Yorkshire myth..
There was a Yorkshire man who it is believed used to brylcream his hair before matches. This was not to improve his appearance (would take far far more than some Johnny Haynes endorsed gentleman’s grooming product the achieve that)
However, once the mane of golden locks had receded to a mere Bobby Charlton, the character refused to waste th’ard urnd cash on the aforementioned product…
Hence the creation of a folklore tune,..
Inth’ Armfield ba’ht tat’

Top this and I shouldn’t boast. I was in the Wetherspoons at Liverpool Street station once and the only people in there were me and an American bloke and his girlfriend. I went for another pint at almost bang on 11 just as they were closing. While I was waiting this American bloke came up hoping to get two more glasses of red for himself and his girlfriend but the jobsworth barman told him they were closed so the guy was looking a bit crestfallen on this news. When the barman put my pint on the bar and told me the price I said ‘I’ll have two glasses of red wine too, large ones’ and he had no choice but to serve me. I handed the wine to this bloke and he tried to pay me but I just said ‘pass it on’. I’ve never done anything like that before or since but I like to think the visitor went away with a more favourable impression of Britain than otherwise might have been the case.
