Sitting in the car and looking at my map to decide which interesting looking road was next. A largeish truck pulled up & parked in front of me. The back door opened and out stepped two men with submachine guns. This was during a period of time when IRA trouble happened occasionally. It was apparently a "Brinks" type of truck making a delivery or pick up at a bank. I didn't stay for lunch!
