surely had he stayed on the 11C a bit longer he'd a reached his destination. I would have bought him a taxi if it was me, considering he was only three miles away
I should explain, the reason why i think the driver of the bus was a bit of a knob - the kid asked if the bus was going back to Kings Heath and the driver said his shift was finished at Cotteridge and he was booting everyone off to go back to the depot.
Just to add that i do kind of understand about what Peter said. I don't think i would have offered him a lift for that reason. Not til i spoke to his mum anyway. It shouldn't really have been a concern for the three shops and the McDonalds he went in - at the very least they could have phoned the police. I do see how different it COULD look, say if i was a lone male, rather than someone like me, - that is a woman out shopping probably with my own little one with me, pretty harmless but yeah it COULD look dodgy i guess if i was a bloke. That is a shame.
@Callaway. Yeah i have helped fellow females, although they have been motorists. A while ago there was a really nasty murder on one of our motorways - it was a lone female, her name was Marie ? something..i can't recall last name but she had broken down and whoever stopped to help her killed her too. It was quite shocking as she was pregnant, too. So, i always stop if i see a woman on her own or with her kids and see if they are ok. I did wait with someone once cus she said she was scared and it was dark. It is interesting as i would be less inclined to stop for a man, as someone jumped my car once at traffic lights. I been quite weary of male motorists since then.
Speaking to his mum would have to be my first priority because i know how worried she would be.
