how you know you've got a problem...

I don't know what's more amazing about this story: the fact that so many UK tourists get into distress while guttered, or that the FCO is working on handheld credit card readers to charge them on the spot for bailing out their sorry squiffy selves. Does this make anyone concerned about the broader state of British society?

see the article: Stags should pay for embassy help: Britons on stag and hen parties abroad should be charged more often when they call on UK diplomats to bail them out of trouble, say MPs.
