Well - yesterday we were both sprayed with mustard on our backs.
A 'friendly' dumpy woman brought it to our attention and DM told her where to go in no uncertain terms. She had a backpack on and there was a guy with a backpack on nearby, on the phone to someone - who turned out to be a driver in a car parked close by.
Having shouted at the woman DM then pointed vigorously at the man with the phone and they all made a speedy retreat in the car. DM made it quite obvious that he was taking a photo of the numberplate - not that it will be of any help, but it made us feel better.
Again it was in a good part of town, but we were engrossed in maps, working out where to walk to next and there were not many people around, being Saturday afternoon in the city.
Annoying, because the stuff they spray is quite pongy and difficult to get off. I thought of retaliating and having a spray of my own - I thought tomato sauce and bleach would be good - but then had second thoughts, as you don't know how violent they could get. They probably would not be happy with having the tables turned on them.
So onwards and upwards and be prepared for the next attack...

Sorry to hear that, Patricia. The impertinence! They would have to be pretty foolish to mess with Richard - even if there were three of them! Not a nice experience, though, and I hope its not spoiling your trip. xx
