    We did have a mad mafia experience there. A Sicilian man had asked an English girl to go out with him for the evening. She said she would only go if we came along too (we'd only just met her that week). He agreed but his brother had to come along with us.
    That evening, a big black limo with tinted glass pulled up at the hotel and we 3 got in. There was a driver, the brother (who was in a wheelchair), his Minder and the "Man". They all wore dark glasses and well cut suits.
    They drove us into Palermo and down some dark alleys. The car stopped and the Man got out and we all followed - with the Minder pushing the wheelchair. The building's windows were boarded over and there were no lights. The Man gave a few rhythmic knocks on the door and it creaked open enough for the occupants to see who was there. The door opened wider and we all went in.-----------to an amazing restaurant where we had a variety of local dishes and plenty of wine.
    After this, back in the limo and we were whisked off to an Italian Icecream parlour - then back to the hotel. It was a good night but there was always that slight edge to it - were we safe, what would happen to us.
    Anyway, after this successful evening out, the English girl decided that the Man was honourable and that she would go out with him, without us chaperoning.
    Needless to say, he was not at all honourable, tried to have his evil way with her and, when she refused, he dropped her at the side of the road, miles from the hotel and she had to find her own way back.

    I'm sure they weren't related to you Lumpy.

      They could have been VC.
      My G Mar was a very strange woman (might explain a few things). Everybody knew what day and time it was by what job she was doing in the house.
      She always wore a hair net. I only saw it off once and she had the longest, blackest hair I’ve ever seen.
      She really was a tough old bird.

        And what were you on about Balders as I’ve lost the plot completely.

          It made sense yesterday Lumpers - that's all I can say.

          (I think god-almighty "admin" have fixed the issue now as it seems to be non-repeatable) .....

            The BIG question is..................why were you the only person to be affected by what ever it was?
            That's what makes you special - being the odd one out.

              I know VC - its a very strange thing - many sci-fi movies have started with a similar premise - affable loner on allotment forum spots something 'strange' happening - is met with incredulity, ridicule and discombobulation from others (including their wife) - then later we discover that there is some sort of alien conspiracy to take all the earth's cucurbits for some sort of malfeasance

              I'm just guessing that this is what is happening in this instance

                  Balders - have you considers that you are the leader of a cult with as of yet no acolytes?

                  If you are I can earn a lot by selling my story (could be true) to the dailies.

                          Yes of course - it would certainly improve the quality of the membership ( no offense implied to current member(s))- but think about the Marx saying about 'would you want to join a club that would let you in' ... just saying/paraphrasing

                              It was his brother Groucho

                              I sent the club a wire stating, "PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER".

                              Telegram to the Friar's Club of Beverly Hills to which he belonged, as recounted in Groucho and Me (1959), p. 321
