And a number of vehicles passed me and nobody stopped.

People looked, but nobody stopped.

Three motorcycles came down the road and these were the motorcyclists that I passed earlier in the day and we'd been waving to each other.

The first two sort of looked at me and went by and started to slow down and the third one put his thumb up and down at me as if, and he was asking me the question, are you okay?

Gary indicated he needed help.

And so he stopped his motorbike and he asked me what had happened and then said, look, you know, sit down and we're going to, you know, check you out.

And he explains, his name's Martin.

He explained that he and his friends, Max and Anita, were all Poles.

They're Polish.

They lived and worked in the United Kingdom and they were all trained paramedics.

And they just, the week before,

finished all of their training.

And so they checked me out, checked my head, did all the tests to see if I had concussion.

They then took out bandages, strapped me up, immobilized my arm.

I mean, I couldn't have wished for more.

They were so incredibly generous.

They spent a lot of time with me whilst they were on vacation.

And the only people who stopped for me in Scotland weren't people from Britain, my own people.

They were, in fact, foreigners, which is sort of ironic at a time of Brexit when Britain is rejecting the idea of allowing foreigners in so easily.

I'm hugely, hugely grateful for them.
