Sir.-Sue (50) and Sue (54) from Phillips Solicitors would like to thank Steve Thomas who came to our assistance after we missed our train to Reading (we were taking part in the Reading Half Marathon).

Luckily, Steve had missed it too and offered to take the three of us in his car.

He would not accept any payment and he managed to park near the Madjeski Stadium where we were starting out from.

Anyway, Sue and I managed to complete the marathon (phew), have our medals to prove it, and would like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, Steve, who lives in South Ham, opposite the football ground.

You are our true "knight in shining armour".

PS. We won't be doing the half marathon again, Steve - us "old biddies" achieved our goal by taking part in our one and only half marathon!

-Sue Douglas, Phillips Solicitors, Basingstoke.
