PEOPLE are often very 'sniffy' about Barry and I've heard the expression, "Barry is no good boyos."

But, after my experience of losing my purse in Barry Island, I wanted to say a big thank you to both the anonymous person who handed it in to Adam at Adventure Island and to Adam, himself, who used amazing initiative and, after finding my library card, contacted the library service who then telephoned me to let me know the good news.

In my panic, I'd stopped my credit cards but, everything was still safely inside the purse, including my pension. What honesty! Certainly my faith in human nature has been restored.

So the next person that is insulting about Barry or suggests "Barry is no good boyos" might receive a bunch of fives from my knuckle duster ring!
