Random Acts of KindnessCrackhouseceilidhband asks: Has anyone ever been nice to you, out of the blue, for no reason? Have you ever helped an old lady across the road, even if she didn't want to? Make me believe that the world is a better place than the media and experience suggest

Random Acts of KindnessMany years ago my mum and I went to see an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery [I think] about Dada and Surrealism.
Art show were'nt quite the blockbusters they are now, and we felt a litte out of place, on our day return tickets from Stevenage new town.
The guy on the door was a bit snooty and failed to tear our tickets in half as he greeted some far more 'arty' looking types.
Always the anarchist my mum gleefully picked out a likely-looking couple in the queue to pay for tickets as we came out and handed our 'unused' ones to them.
I remember her telling me she and my dad once gave Proms tickets they couldn't use to random stangers in the queue.
Thanks for reminding me of my mum, who has been dead since 1997.
I recently gave a ticket to a show at the RA to a random stranger and thought of that Surrealism show all those years ago.
