2005“My story relates to the time I was in Barbados on my honeymoon. They have these open vehicles, so anyone can jump in or out. My husband and I were at a random part of the island and two men stopped us at a crossroads and jumped into the vehicle with us.

”My husband wasn’t concerned by this but I was starting to get a little bit petrified. They took us on a tour of the island for about an hour and a half. All the time I’m thinking we’re going to get attacked, we’re going to get robbed, we’re going to get shot.

”They took us to this house that was built in about 1955 and told us it was the oldest on the island, when it patently wasn’t. It all ended up well, I’m still here today, but it just shows that you don’t stop at a crossroads to allow two men to jump in the back of your car.”
