"Found him in this state last night,(photo removed) tried getting him up but he wouldn’t budge! I've got his phone So if anyone knows him please ring it and I can give him his phone back !"
Was this the right thing to do. I think NOT.... in my opinion - Taking the phone is totally illegal. If the user reported the phone stolen before seeing the post, they could find themselves in a lot of trouble. If the the owner never sees the post, and never gets his phone back, ask yourself who would be considered the thief........... Its no different to seeing some one passed out and taking their wallet.

THE DEVILS ADVOCATE commented on this post about 1 week agoThe Spanish government is CONSIDERING a 100% tax surcharge on property purchases by non-EU, non-resident foreigners.
This "State Complementary Tax" would double the existing Property Transfer Tax (ITP).
Example: Buying a second-hand home for €500,000 would trigger an additional €500,000 tax—effectively doubling the purchase cost.
What are your thoughts?????Comments (8)-
The proposal is to double the ITP (the tax) not the cost of the property.
In the Valencian Community it is currently 10% of the purchase price. If More ... -

THE DEVILS ADVOCATE commented on this post about 2 weeks ago“I paid £750 for all-inclusive – then spent hundreds more just to get a drink I liked.”
Susan Edwards, 69, says her TUI holiday to Corfu was the worst trip of her life:
• No English food (“just rice, fish and a hard-boiled egg”)
• €1.50 for water
• €9 for a Bacardi & Coke
• No entertainment
• Hotel “in the middle of nowhere”
• A £100 voucher offered – and rejected
She says, “I could’ve gone to the Caribbean for what we spent.”
👀 What do you think – is she right to be angry?Comments (15)-
Mark John Sheekey Good point, we did actually have a member that complained that the hotel served no food for British clientel, then went on to say More ...

THE DEVILS ADVOCATE commented on this post about 2 weeks agoRyanair Love them or Hate them - Have they now gone a step too far or is this good news - What do you think?
✈️ Ryanair now says: Cause trouble on board, and you’ll be fined £500 (minimum), if your antics delay or divert the flight.
No warnings. No messing about. Straight off the plane – straight out of pocket.

Tracy Ann commented on this post about 1 month agoThere is currently a discussion on the 'book of faeces' following a newspaper article saying that there is to be a new TV series of Benidorm.
It has been stated that people have seen it being filmed and that the actor Tony Maudsley has left Corrie so it must be true.
If it is coming back (which Derren Litten denies) do you think it is good publicity for Benidorm or does it show the resort in a bad light?Comments (6)-
I have been reading such articles about the programmes return for many, many months, and am not convinced its true, time will tell.
In some respects More ... -
I think the trouble was that some people took the program too seriously.
It was meant to be a 'tongue in cheek/mickey take' of a certain type of More ... -
