Re: Italian 'con man' in ABu Dhabi
yeah, Mr Kitty last Monday in a petrol station on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai road, bless him. Must have had a common sense bypass. Complete sob story, including hire car, where's the airport, oo taxes, fashion show, hey howabout a gift?
They even put the stuff in his car when he told them he wasn't interested.
Anyhow, he says they aren't Neapolitans - cos he had a chat with them in Italian about having lived in Naples.

How odd - pretty sure it's the same guy - asked me for directions to the airport from outside Ace SZR.
Mario - from Milan... seemed nice enough but I made it clear I wasn't the suit wearing type!
