France 1983 .................
Had it not been for the friendly Spanish coach driver on the motorway .....................
Under all odds .............................. I was caught in the crossfire of a possible kidnap in Lille, north-east France.
As I awoke from a little kip in the park to break the connection time from Lille to Calais I had found a viper; two blue
poisonous frogs and two preying mantis in the trees shaking hands about to kidnap me. They failed.
