  "PROUD MUM MOMENT! so yesterday afternoon my 2 eldest were in town and had to go to the cashpoint and the lady in front left her money and walked off so they ran after her and gave it back to her she was so happy she gave them £10! So proud of my girls, always bought them up to be honest and respect others and that proved I've done my job. So proud well done girls love you all"
  
  I copied this from Facebook. This is two teenage girls who were born and raised in Dover and now work in Dover. A credit to our town - don't you agree?
  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

  Well done to those two girls for being so honest, also to the parents for raising them so well and the lady for proving that honesty can pay.
  
  I read Jacqui's post as being about someone else I apologise if I am wrong.

  Thank you guys for your comments. They are in fact my two eldest grandaughters and yes I am proud of them - a proud Nan
  They lost their dad 3years ago and my daughter has had a tough time bringing up three children on her own but I think she has done an excellent job and instilled the values she grew up with into them.
  
  Yes Howard it was my youngest son Paul who was the champion powerlifter. These days he still goes to the gym but with two young children and his job as assistant manager of big Ashford outlet he doesn't get a lot of free time! We still have the photo of him with Paul Watkins when he was presented with an award from DDC in a frame.
