Teenagers these days!
Driving around the town on two wheels like a bunch of loons; drinking alcopops, wearing hoodies, smoking, swearing. Those were the days! No seriously it’s not all bad.
I spoke to my neighbour who was down from London for the weekend (I know she’s a second home owner but lets put that to one side). She is in her seventies and said that it was lovely to see a young man working so hard for his community. For a moment I thought she was talking about Austen working over at the station – and that I needed to put her straight on his age – but she meant young Rid, who was washing the vehicle. The comment made me proud of the both the team and especially Rid; the team for taking on a young chap and giving their time to train him and Rid for showing the commitment.
Rid (Richard) joined the team at 18 and after 18 months is a fully trained and valued member of the team. Rather than out on the town doing all the things he shouldn’t, Rid gives an awful amount of his time to the community and dealt with some major incidents last year. He’s always enthusiastic and willing to learn. As the neighbour said, it’s great to see a young person doing their bit for the town. Well done chap.
Oh, and thanks Rid for ‘arranging’ for us to get a new gate up at Peveril Point.
