How about a tale to restore your faith in human nature?

Press journalist Dave Stanford arrived at work only to find his bag, containing his wallet, and a folder, containing some very important car documents, had fallen off the back of his bike unnoticed.

A panic-stricken Dave immediately hopped back on and frantically retraced his four-mile journey back home.

Yards from his home, and with the bike and folder still nowhere to be seen, Dave received a call on his mobile to say his bag and wallet had been found and was being looked after by a woman at the York & District Indoor Bowls Club, in Thanet Road.

A delighted Dave headed back to the bowls club and was gratefully reunited with his bag, wallet, cheque book, two apples, a bag of nuts, various letters, some coffee sachets, bike lights, asthma spray, hair gel, pens... it's quite a big bag.

But no sign of the missing folder, so he headed off back to work.

He'd not got far, when he spotted a gentleman in a motorised wheelchair heading in the direction of Woodthorpe, with his blue folder in the wheelchair's basket.

The man explained he'd found the folder not far from the bowling club, with the documents scattered across the footpath.

He'd picked them up, gone home to get a map to find where Dave lived, and was now on his way to post them through the door.

Said Dave: "I was probably the happiest, most relieved man in York - and it was all thanks to the kindness of two people I'd never met before, going out of their way to help a stranger."

Is this the smallest McDonald's fast-food emporium in the world? Can't see them getting a shed load of business can you?

Whoever said the camera never lies was obviously lying because this is all a clever juxtaposition captured on film (well, actually on digital image) by Press photographer Frank Dwyer.

The shed is for sale at the B&Q store at Clifton Moor, York. The McDonald's sign is actually some way behind it advertising the burger joint next door.
