Beware Greeks, Portuguese And Spaniards
HAVING done for Portugal and Spain, the Sun tried to further bolster the British tourist industry – by monstering the alternatives - by reporting from Greece.
Lucy Murch and Ricky Burgess, both 18, were held in a Greek jail for five days when the locals mistook their vitamins for ecstasy tablets.
Says Lucy: “I’m never going to Crete ever again.” Ricky adds: “It’s left a bad impression of Crete and I would urge people to be very careful what they leave lying around.”
Best stay at home and take advantage of one of the Sun’s customary UK summer holiday campy giveaways…

Lucy and Rickey are of a generation that come to Crete to have fun. Sex, Sun and booze. The police have their time in Crete cut out because of the huge lack of respect this generation shows for the locals, other tourists and property. The local Tourist Police act first and ask questions later - by necessity. So even if we have a pair of innocents in these two, done over by a jealous local it is just bad luck on them. They’ll just have to put it down to one of life’s experiences, chastened and wiser.

As Ian Rush once famously said…
“It was like being in a foreign country.”
