I JUST wanted to express my thanks to the wonderful Stanford couple who returned my debit card in Corringham on Saturday.

The couple in question were indirectly in contact with me through the Stanford-le-Hope Facebook page and, in no time at all, I knew my card was safe and had made arrangements to collect.

Suffice to say this left me with a large buzz about the community I live in and seeing the very positive side to a responsible, caring social media.

I would like to give a massive thank you to Michelle and her husband for being a pair of very good neighbours.
