In 1993, I was 22 years old and on a boys holiday to Kos with two pals. We got friendly with a family with three young teen boys. We looked after the boys in the hotel to give Mum and Dad a few hours to themselves before we went out, kept them busy at the pool or at the beach. That sort of thing.
Typically, we completely messed up our timings and on the last day, all three of us were skint and the bus to the airport was at daft-o-clock the next morning.
The Mum and Dad supplied us with food, drink and a few beers through out the day!!!
We thanked them greatly and I asked why they had been so generous?
The Mum answered that she would like to think that maybe someone, in the future, would do the same for her kids.
Stayed with me for over 30 years now.
I like this thread a lot.
