Margate Moves: Honesty still is alive and well – and much appreciated!
Grateful thanks goes to the honest person who handed in the wallet with the phone.
During the recent South Coast Bike Festival, your scribe’s great-granddaughter and her friends from Durban attended a concert at the main stage at Margate beach.
From there they went to Backline Club, where one of the friends took off her jacket and tied it around her waist. However, she forgot that her wallet with her mobile phone was in the pocket and it fell out.

She was totally devastated as “her life” was in the pretty flower-covered wallet. She managed to get a number to call the manager at the club who to her delight told her the wallet had been handed in and was locked in his office. Grateful thanks goes to the honest person who handed in the wallet with the phone.
