I met an Italian in northern France in 2004. We rode back to Cherbourg together as were on the same ferry. He thought we docked in Portsmouth the following morning instead of late that night.
I offered him a room at my place, an 85 mile ride northwards and in the direction he was travelling anyway.
All went well, he knew we were travelling to Hungary in a couple of months tme & returning via his home town. His response was that it's okay to contact him if passing through at the weekend but not to bother if it was midweek....
We did indeed pass through his home town midweek & had no intention of calling him. Slight lack of gratitude but not to worry, it's not put us off helping others. We even let Spanish Bob stay once but we'd already met him & kmew that the rumours were'nt true....
