  2. Lake District rescue team donations top £38k after unpaid bill
    'The Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team received over £38,000 in donations after settling a £130 unpaid hotel bill left by two walkers they rescued from Scafell Pike. The generous contributions, which came from around the world, were a surprise to the team and hotel staff, who expressed gratitude for the public's support. Despite the disappointing incident, both the rescue team and the hotel remain committed to assisting walkers in need.'

  3. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    A man’s first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart; his next to escape the censures of the world: if the last interferes with the former, it ought to be entirely neglected; but otherwise there cannot be a greater satisfaction to an honest mind, than to see those approbations which it gives itself seconded by the applauses of the public: a man is more sure of his conduct, when the verdict which he passes upon his own behaviour is thus warranted and confirmed by the opinion of all that know him.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-07-20), The Spectator, No. 122
