Recently when shopping at Countdown Howick, I had to cross the drive which runs from Cook Street to the parking lot.
What is no problem for most people, using a walker like I do, combined with the roughness of the drive and the slope, is a scary experience.
A kind Chinese lady tried to pull me across, almost had me down, with me screaming, “no, no, no”!
I could not explain my hysterics as she had little English and took off in fright.
If anyone should know who she is, please apologise on my behalf.
Anyone else, please ask first before you help. We are just very uncertain of our feet when we use a walking stick or a walker. But thanks for caring.
