I was reading about a woman stuck in Turkey. She was there with her partner who was having teeth implants. So they got drunk and she fell against the glasss shower screen in the hotel. And it smashed. So they did a runner. Police chase. Got caught put in jail. Told they owed £15k or else. Sad face. Hmm. Though it does seem very steep for a shower screen.

It is steep, compared to what would happen in the uk. But it never ceases to amaze me how people think they can cause damage / steal / break the law in another country, and then moan about the punishment. You have to question why they ran off, chances are if they’d stayed around and admitted fault they wouldn’t be in jail right now.

Classic chavs abroad really.

I suspect there is far more damage than just the shower screen. I have no sympathy eiher.

I've only read your description of whats happened. It's pure British comedy isn't it
