Re: Close encounters..
A friend and I were making our way down to the bus station for the last bus from Glasgow to our town. We had been at a popular disco in Glasgow and we were about 18. Didn't drink alcohol. Were only interested in dancing. Anyway, you have to pass through the supposed "red light" district which was very quiet, other than two men walking towards us. They walked past and one of them grabbed my handbag. I held on and my friend actually threw a can of juice at them. They quickly scarpered. I was traumatised. Next thing a police officer appeared from nowhere and we ran towards him and told him what had happened. He said they probably thought we were prostitutes and would be wanting to bag for our takings. It was a horrible experience. Another time a friend and I were in the same area and there was a woman, on her own, in a doorway. What a life! They take their lives in their hands

Re: Close encounters..
I worked in both Amsterdam and Hamburg (almost 4 years in total). Amsterdam was OK once you got to know it, but I really loved Hamburg and have been back there many times.The Red light district in Amsterdam is a bit like a pornographic Disney land, but the Reeperbahn in Hamburg is 'proper sleazy'. Actually it's a fascinating area where sex clubs and gun shops rub shoulders with high end theatres and restaurants. I never felt afraid in Hamburg, though I never sought out the 'dodgy' areas. The city centre has become very up-market. The city smells of money.
Close encounters... I actually bumped into Bjork in the hotel bar in Amsterdam. I didn't recognise her at first and she didn't recognise me either.

Re: Close encounters..
My twin sister and I were sitting on the grass by the river having a picnic with our young children.Nobody was about and it was lovely and peaceful.
Suddenly a young boy about seventeen came out of the bushes and walked up to us bent down and asked if we could tell him the time.
I was about to look at my watch when he pulled down his front zip and pulled out his willy saying "If you haven't the time I'll give it to you. " He then began to run away as my sister through a flask at him.
We were shocked and in front of the children too. We packed our things and made our way home. What made us laugh was my little girl of five said. "Mummy I thought he was going to show us a clock in his trousers.

Re: Close encounters..
I had a man flashing in a Reliant Robin, blue, I still remember the reg number (1975), once I was in a car park in Brecon when a coach load of rugby players got off a coach unzipped and ran about peeing everywhere!One of my first boyfriend's mothers turned up at our house and asked if any of the several bras in a carrier bag she had were mine!
Could have been worse Twiz, she coulda havin' a bag full of knickers.|
