Before I start , it must be known that 5 years passed before I could ' jump ship '. The descision
was easy , I was going through proned nightmare's of Holland in the coucil flat ( always
face your fears and wasn't exactly my dream-scape i.e. false dreams ). As the upstair neighbour
became less popular and prevention as sabotage to my small car started , but with a year's income left
I wasn't getting stuck in Scotland ( as past experience ).
The Fire Red Fiesta Fun
As nobody to trust, all important items and myself toured in car
( the most expensive fiesta on the planet )
No Job's, blacklisted under terrorist rules.
On arriving the car failed twice, the second time it was just fixed but they damaged the clutch.
With no help from home I was stranded and all enquiries were a months income, new or used.
Now I became a terrorist by the Dutch Police check's, every two days under the terror law I was ID
checked at 2:00am. I mean stranded / breakdown and no assistance from the Police , they would
rather contact "Scotland Yard" ( Police HQ , London, UK ) to see if I was under arrest warrant.
When finally a local mechanic helped out for free, I set off a month late to see past work collegues. Some were
more concerned with ' Mental Health ' ( long distance gossip ) and others avioded you. It became
obvious that word had spread and in 5 years blacklisted, or was there another reason.
I found out later that my car had extra electroins on leaving the UK, so my movements were monitored
Auto Power On without a key ; tracker ?
( Basic cassette with morning power drain ; not a typical Ford ! )
Learn the Land
( With time on hands, broaden horizons )
windows
Brussel's Windows ; very nice if they self-clean !
The 6th month Crunch
Some advice if getting roadside coffee, check nothing clear floats on top!. It's the old
Dutch trick "Droog Im", I got a sore head and hence a couple of beers & sleep. On heading off
it was five hours later I got pulled over by the old friends ' Gouda Police ' and breathilised -
where I was positive and arrested by one Policeman. Refused a blood test at the Police station and then
all was not fair, as against their law my home was impounded and forced to look for shelter.
Made Roofless
The Bothy
A 400 Euro fine and two yaers to pay but car impounded , so I thought three weeks rough.
The sequence and events were not keeping with the program ; money stopped !
Emergency cxalls back home to a grandfather you helped out on little resources, they were transfered &
cut-off from an office ?!.
( When I left he was in the peck of health, where & why but Masonic's )
Drive In - Cycle & Walk Out
Kinda named my shelter " Bon's Bothy " ( after Bon Scott of AC/DC group fame ) but when down
on luck, a small few show humanity. Even though there is a language and custom differences but between advice
and a bit of food , it gave me strength.
The kipcorn and the later luck for me
( Second time I have been advised to hide in my life )
In time I re-aquired my car out of the pound ( at the dead of night ) but it was searched and
damaged i.e. rigged a bigger spark to get it out. The principle of having my car searched without me,
did they take , plant or steal ( Why ! ). As I knew that Police area's didn't share information,
so by moving to another area I'd be clear and it worked i.e. good timing because they destoryed Bon's
Bothy but kindly given 20 Euro's get out fee ( fill the tank up ).
KLM's World : Amstelveen
( Tried the Embassy " shut !" but now it was near the Consulate ; no help and only given
' prision ' calls ! )
Conned out of a working card
Days before money cleaared, bought an item to test card but 2nd time not.
Where ( Bank Of Scotland & Shop ) held and cancelled my card too quickly , as no contract
to purchase but I would get Police threats.
With my card canelled, I needed a postal address, so I took a bit of petrol from a scrap car and
sought out a ' Gordie ' I met in S.Holland. This was maybe a risk , though requiring a solution
it was the only option but it would be the last time I saw my car ( must of been that terrorist global
arrest warrant of my car ! ).
Death Dealer, Masonic Murder
How bad can things get ? | Answer ) try 10 years !
I had a feeling all was not well in Scotland before leaving Amstelveen,
so I recorded the date as 8th of September 2006 and it was to be 3 days after my mother's
father passed away.
My car was taken by Police under the reason " It is not your car !" , where I had all the
documents but I was handcuffed and detained. This was the second time they made me roofless and
was highly illegal, while the car had in hardware £2000 (approx) but the warrant was for 400 Euro's
with an excuse to steal.
No car and no money, it was a long walk back via Antwerp, as heading for the ferry
( no money or passport to fly out ). After about 8 days I reached Zeeburrger to be told
the death of my Grandfather by a thrid party and advice not to go back to Scotland. As
I had belonging at my Grandfather's and even though I arranged support before leaving but 10
months later. Also I needed to order another bank card & passport while staying with other family ,
but the only thing I heard was " You can't stay here ! ".
Unfortunately the company my Grandfather kept was Masonic and proud , he became the executor of the
Will and not only did he benefit from the estate but also the unregistered savings ( the Mason's safe ),
which were not documented. He also arranged the sale of the house at 60% of market value, while
accusing me of costing my Grandfather a lot i.e. was that the gentlemen's agreement get out clause !.
10 years on and I like to think they faked his death, too many questions otherwise !
