So imagine my joy today when a simple request on Twitter by entrepreneur, Duncan Bannatyne turned into a true feel good story... one that reminds people that there is still good in the World....
Mrs Bannatyne had arrived for 'The Noble Gift Gala' at the Dorchester Hotel but soon realised she had left her dress on the train.... Duncan decided to use the wisdom of Twitter...
Posting from his Twitter page - "Mrs Bannatyne has just arrived, she left her dress on the 8.47 Virgin train from Milton Keynes to Euston Big reward if found" adding later that if the dress could be found then there was a reward of £1000...
Mr Bannatynes followers soon jumped to the rescue, asking for descriptions of the dress, which carriage Mrs Bannatyne had been in etc...
Before long, Duncan received word from a fellow Twitterer, John Power @johno4501, that the dress had been found and passed onto the lost property office at Euston Station.
Taken by surprise, Duncan double checked this was the case. It would seem that John was Virgins Train Manager and had called Euston to find the dress.
As promised, Mr Bannatyne offered to send John the £1000 reward but explaining that he did not need a reward, John asked for it to be donated to CLIC Sargent
Later on Duncan took a picture that showed Mrs Bannatyne looking stunning in the dress.....
This has truly made my day!
"One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.”
Hear hear - the power of the internet is unbelievable, but the power of a good heart is worth a hundred times more than that! Well done that man.
