People are quick to jump on schoolchildren when they have done something wrong and I believe in giving credit where it’s due.

Therefore, may I express my thanks to three lads from Hertswood School who were walking up Gateshead Road on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 14.

As I drove past them, the spare tyre fell off my car and bounced off up the road.

Thankfully, it didn’t hit anything or anyone. The three boys immediately came rushing up to me to offer to help retrieve the tyre and even offered to help me get it back in my car.

They were very polite and a credit to the school.

I was a bit flustered and not sure I thanked them properly, so may I say again, thank you boys.
