Thought you might be interested in something that happened to me in the early 1970, I was working on a mid sized construction site in Bristol.
Me and two more guys were driving to site at about 06:30am, minding our own business when boom, thought we had been hit by a missile, but no it was a large Japanese car, all I can recall is seeing this car wrapped around a lamppost and the driver and passenger walking about in a daze.
No one hurt too bad just shook up, the driver was an Italian and I knew something was up when he pulled out his wallet and tried to give me about £70, which was a lot of cash in those days, turned out he wasn't insured and tried to pay me off, well couldn't do that as there was far to many witnesses and it was a company van, so tough luck Luigi.
Got to site eventually a bit late, Site Agent not a happy man, about two hours later. the driver and a few of his mates came to site,started pushing people around looking for yours truly, I had called the Old Bill, the SA called them again, turfed them off site and proceeded to speak to the SA, who called me and my two mate in for a chat, turned out that the driver was a local gang boss and was after my blood, so we had to leave site never to return.
Not sure what this guy wanted to do to me but it certainly wasn't to pat me on the back, possibly pat me in the face with a baseball bat, but thankfully never found out.
Anyone else had any strange experiences? bit off topic but it,s been a bit quiet lately.
