I was nearly mugged in Cardiff once, I was with a couple of Clients down to watch Wales v England Rugby and we were staying in a hotel in Schooner Way, after many beers were consumed during the day we were on our way back to the hotel when these 4 ‘lads’ jumped out with 1 indicating he had something in his pocket menacingly, they asked us were we English and how much we had on us? everyone was a bit startled and I said ‘Easy, lads, I’m from Llanishen, I used to work around here and then recognized one and said ‘Don’t I know you from the City?’ He looked at me, smiled, apologised and they disappeared!
They were apparently only mugging English people! Close call as both my associates that day were right ‘Hooray Henry’ types, luckily they didn’t open their mouths.......![]()
