SIR, - May I take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to the staff at the Vesta Avenue Costcutter. I lost my purse outside the shop there on Wednesday but did not realise until Friday. It contained a significant amount of money, bank cards and driving licence. I never expected I would see it again but when I inquired there, I was told that it had been found outside the day before.

Needless to say, both the staff there and myself had contacted the police who were not at all interested to know or help. I cannot thank the staff there enough for their kindness and honesty in helping me.

SARAH MORT,

Westfields, St Albans.
