I seen on the t.v this morning a group of caped crusaders who do random acts of kindness like paying for peoples shopping,giving nurses flowers and other things and was just wondering what its all about does anyone know of these "kind crusaders" and their easons for it?

I didn't see the TV piece you're referring to but I wonder if it's anything to do with the journalist Danny Wallace and his Join Me cult. Danny started a collective via the media with the intention of carrying out random acts of kindness, in honour of his late uncle whose (unfulfilled) ambition it was to run a commune. He initially wanted 100 members and then expanded to 1000 and I think he now has several thousand. You can read all about it in his book Join Me, which has been out for ages. It may not be to do with him...but either way it's a great book!

he was also on the programme which was (this morning)but they had nothing to do with him but its just nice that people are making other people happy & it just makes a nice change.

Danny's Cult (of which I am a member) is called the Karma Army. We are obliged to do at least one random act of kindness every Friday, we sign up to this which is called "The good Friday agreement". Also once a year around Christmas we get together for Karmageddon where last year we all had to bring a single rapped present and on the the blow of a whistle hand them out in Oxford street.

They were on This Morning yesterday, and they had been sent to different parts of the country by the This Morning team and secretly filmed the reactions of some of the people. Because it is National Couresy Day today.
