Back when I could only afford to drive horrendous death-traps I'd sometimes find myself grinding to an unexpected halt.
Working-class men always stopped to help me. They'd get the banger going again with Radweld, improvised fan belts, bump starts or whatever and laughingly brush aside my tearful thanks.
If I broke down on a council estate I've even been given cups of tea while I waited!
These days, in my reliable Clio, I always stop to ask if I can help other stranded drivers. S'only fair to pay it back.

That's the sort of subtle comedy that's missing from this place.
