Just occasionally, something happens that restores my faith in human nature. We've just supplied a candy floss cart for a marketing event for the Market Walk Shopping Centre in the Lancashire town of Chorley. We were hired to give out free candy floss for St Valentines day in conjunction with a shopping precinct. Now normally when undertaking events of this type the conversation runs like this;
"How much is your candy floss?"
"It's complimentary sir"
"Yes but how much is it?"
"It is free"
"Oh, in that case I will take three bags, might as well if it's free"
This time however things were different, those people with more than one kid seemed genuinely embarrassed when they asked if they could take another bag, and I lost count of how many people on being told the candy floss was free, asked if we had a charity collection tin they could put some money in. That's the first time I can remember receiving a reaction like that.
