A group of lads on push bikes grabbed my attention earlier today at Lidl's car park.....
Now before anyone jumps to the conclusion of abuse being shouted at me, or something chucked in my direction, the interaction was the complete opposite.
Now admittedly they were blocking parking spaces where they had congregated on their bikes, getting dirty looks from other drivers.
But as I drove my car away, and made my way slowly around the car park, one lad sped across the spaces, as a shortcut, to grab my attention as I circled past.
He pointed at me then pointed at his phone which he was holding up.
Slowing right down, I looked over to see my YouTube channel on the screen. He held it there, waiting for a response.
I nodded my head to basically say "yep that's me". He smiled and enthusiastically held his thumb up.
Maybe he's normally a "scally-wag" as my Dad would say, but in this moment he was a very polite and encouraging young chap!! 😁
