00:00 I was walking along coming back towards the station, bottom of Tilmore Road, and somebody

00:06 come up behind me in Chamberlain Street and pushed me over and I fell over on the ground

00:12 and he grabbed my pocket and grabbed the envelope I had with my money in from the bank and the

00:19 money all fell out and I grabbed some of it but he got away with a fair amount.

00:24 They've been marvellous, I've had marvellous neighbours in the road and friends, they've

00:30 all collected and given me money and a card and a bottle of whisky, flowers.

00:38 I still feel very, very nervous going out, I haven't been out since for the week but

00:44 I will try to get myself out.

00:45 I'll be very careful when I go into the bank and draw money now but naturally you keep

00:51 saying it can't happen but touch wood I hope it doesn't.
