One of my late Uncles was such a great guy, they had a small caravan holiday home type thing, that they would spend most of the summer there....
it was only two miles from a holiday park at Dawlish warren, on a big tide, the road use to flood, many cars would would have problems...
one day , we had just returned to his caravan , we saw out the window a car had become stuck in the flood water.
"Come on Boy" he said... so off we went .... when we reached the car, the poor family where stressed to say the least , they only had the 2 miles to go to reach their holiday camp.....we pushed the car out the water and parked it on the field.... Uncle Rob asked me to drop the family down to the camp..which i did.... i said i would pick the father up at 9am the next day...... to collect his car
9 am the next morning, i picked up the father, he said he would arrange for a garage to pick up his car, when we got back to the car, my uncle had cleaned out the carbs, dried everything off and charged the battery over night,, he even topped up the oil
.... the guy was blown away..almost speechless..he went to offer my uncle a wad of notes.... my uncle just grabbed the fist of notes and pushed it back towards the guy.......with a big smile , he looked at the guy and said........" you just have a wonderful holiday" the bloke was totally gobsmacked
a week later, they where on their way home.... they stopped at uncles caravan, and the guys children gave my uncle a thankyou card with some flowers for my auntie and some chocolates for my uncle.... my uncle being the man he was, opened up the chocolates and started sharing them with the children over a cup of tea.....
the family use to pop in every year after, to say hello to uncle rob, when they came on their holidays , they never forgot his random act of kindness
