WELL done, the brave and feisty East Lancashire cleaning ladies, Susan Taylor and Elizabeth Hartley, who stopped a burglar getting away with loot at the school where they work.

They pinned the thief to the wall and held him there until he was arrested.

How many others would be so plucky when confronted by a burglar? Not many these days, we think.

All the more reason for their courage and selflessness to be praised.
