Hi everyone, i am looking for someone who worked at a particular hotel. The name of the hotel/bar was caswell bay hotel, it has now been knocked down and turned into apartments. I am looking for a man who worked there in the 80's behind the bar and giving people lifts home who worked there. Thanks very much i know im searching for a needle in a haystack but its worth the ask.
Last year I went to pick up a car from a dealership 2 hours away, me and my young 15 year old daughter got the train and then was going to order a uber at the train station of the town. When we got there my Internet wasnt working and nor was hers. She noticed a taxi parked on the other side of the road it had a taxi sign on the roof. I went over and asked if he was able to take us to where we needed. We both got in the back and gave him the address.
For some reason I felt I needed the route on my maps. He kept asking us really strange questions about why we were there in town and I said I was buying a car was asking me how mich I paid all sorts of questions. I just gave him false info. He drives like a lunatic to the point where my daughter os texting me saying she was frightened. I was aswell to the point that I said to her if anything goes wrong just run and dont stop till you find a English person. This town was heavily populated with the same ethnicity.
We started to make chit chat with him as we thought if he was talking to us more he would slow down his driving was really erratic. We then go down this road which has lots of cars parked car washes so we thought we were nearly there, we pull into like a industrial estate with shutters all down.
The taxi stops a group of males come out of a door towards the taxi. Next thing the car dealership rang my phone I answered and put it on speaker they were asking me where we were and how long till we arrive. I told them we were in a taxi and asked the driver where were and how long. He mumbled something and I just told the dealership I didnt know where we were and all I could see was like a industrial easte with shutters down. The dealership blokes voice changed and said share me your location. The next thing the taxi man got really panicky and said ten minutes ten minutes.
He drove erratic to the car place and when we got there there was a group of men waiting at the gate we started to panic again and they opened our door and told us to go into the office. They looked like they were having a heated discussion naturally me and my daughter were so shaken. The town in the uk is know from trafficking and people that we've told the story to said they were likely gunna take us well not me im older im 42 but certainly my young daughter.
It was so scary and I never will go near that town again.
Someone told me to always carry a spray can of deep heat in your bag so that could be handy for anyone.
