  Probably mistook you for a kerb crawler soliciting prostitutes.

  We both lived and worked there and never experienced any theft, threat 
or violence. The car (spent every night in an open public car park for 
five years) was never broken into. I found Bankies kind, good humoured, 
resilient. Tough? They had to be. 

  Clydebank was pretty much razed to the ground and burnt out, during  
the WW2 Blitz. For two nights,over 400 bomber planes dropped over 1000 
bombs on it. Out of approximately 12,000 houses, only seven remained 
undamaged — with 4,000 completely destroyed and 4,500 severely damaged. 
Over 35,000 people were made homeless, 528 people died, far more were 
injured.

 Since then Clydebank has been rebuilt. Domestic housing conditions are 
NOTHING even remotely approaching the appalling shanties of poor 
America.
