I went around C's house yesterday with cake. We sat and chatted. I tried to deflect her from continuing with the war with her neighbours. Guess what I was successful

I'm not sure whether he was being serious or not. I assume anyone meant anyone!
Mike thought he was serious or had a very depraved imagination and was upset about it as he thought it bordered on date rape. I would agree with this should it have happened. But then I have known young men pretend they have experienced this to make themselves feel big and try and pull interested teenagers into their sexual fantacies.
I haven't left it there, I've reported it to one of the town councellors tonight who happens to be a real pagan and not happy at what Mike thought this young man was saying.
I had a reply from the town councellor this morning to say that he knew who the man was and that he happens to be a tenant of his. He insists that the talk was a spoof! But it could have misfired as a joke because out of towners wouldn't know how unlikely it was. He will be talking to the person though to let him know it didn't go down well and it was taken seriously.
I'm sure the councellor is genuine in his belief the guy was joking.
What I find a little strange is that the councellor believes I knew who this man was and was hinting! Sometimes when you are in a small town the politics gets so inbred that it seems strange to people that outsiders don't know what's going on and therefore do not follow the in-jokes. They need to wake up to that fact or they will do themselves a diservice.
