This is a question Narrow Escapes

IHateSprouts tells us they once avoided getting caught up in an IRA bomb attack by missing a train. Tell us how you've dodged the Grim Reaper, or simply avoided a bit of trouble.

When I was wee
our garden led onto a field. I must have been about six knocking a golf ball around in it when a man came up to me and asked if I wanted to go for a walk in the woods. I wasn't allowed to speak to strangers and really not allowed to play in the woods so I said no and he went on his way. I didn't remember or think anything of it until it hit me recently that this was a really creepy near miss.

Sounds like Peter and the Wolf.

It's Friday - it's 12 O'Clock - It's Perv time!
We were told at school that there was a man hanging around on Fridays, trying to get boys to come with him. We were about 12 or 13 at the time, so knew what that meant.

Sure enough, walking down to the chippie on my own one Friday lunchtime, a perfectly ordinary looking guy approached me, and asked something like "did I want to come and have some fun".

I'm quite proud of my cheekie comeback:

"No thanks - I roll my own..."
