As I cycled home last night, I noticed a young woman lying on the pavement. She had drank too much and was distressed. I continued home to fetch some money to put her in a cab. On my return (about two minutes later) a concerned middle aged women and a taxi driver had gathered round. Myself and the middle aged women split the cost of the taxi fare (I only had a couple of quid) and the taxi driver agreed not to turn on his meter since we didn't have enough collectively to cover the cost of the journey.
It struck me that the good Samaritans outnumbered the victim 3 to 1. Maybe this would only happen in Oxford, but either way it can't be a bad thing - encouraging even.
