An examination is being carried out by a hygiene expert at a Caribbean hotel where dozens of UK holiday-makers have fallen ill during their stay.
The guests who have been taken sick are staying at the Bahia Principe San Juan hotel in the Dominican Republic.

Well, well, this is all news to me. I though having the trots for a week was part of the holiday experience if you visited The Dominican Republic! Friends of ours were hospitalised after a visit years and years ago (they?re out now though). point:
The Bembridges were discharged after two days and cut short their holiday to fly home.
But they claim hundreds of guests at the hotel complex have been affected by the bug and are desperate to leave but are still too ill to be declared fit to fly.
Hehehehe! You?ve got to feel sorry for the trolley dollies on return trips from the place haven?t you! Imagine meal times (although not many takers I ?spec) with all routes to the toilets blocked by meal and drinks carts! happy001

Just been on the news all this.
Some random solicitor is representing a 'happy holiday maker' that went to this hotel 10 bloody years ago ffs, and he's still suffering from the original illness now!
Makes being skint and unable to afford these 'luxury' holidays appear quite preferable now tbh.
Butlins at Puthely again it is then.

The council probably stole it from Wales. BTW I now have to have a permit to go to the local waste dump/recyclilng place. This is to prevent people not of this county from dumping there. Now the non-county people who live a mile from this dump will have to drive 5 miles to their own!.
Idiocy.

Nah ~ In Denbighshire we have to prove we are residents too.
They started out, 'bout eighteen months ago, checking where you bought your tax disc but had to change that plan when it was pointed out that Disabled Discs are issued direct thus do not have a local Post Office stamp on them. Then they wanted to see a utility bill. Wife had a problem with that one as all bills are in my name and the Jobs-Worth couldn't work that out.
I had a stand up row because my car has a Motabilty Issued Tax Disc and the Number Plate was from the next county (which is where the Motability Dealer is). After I threatened to do him physical harm he summoned a supervisor who explained the new rules to him in words he could understand .... since which time he has always helped me unload any stuff I take there.

Well hte letter said everybody had to have a permit displayed intheir car, but now you come to mention it I am the only person I have seen with this permit confused:
-
If I was you Nick I'd check that permit, I have a feeling you will find an RFID tag that gives them warning to evacuate when you are on the way there. whistle:
-
. . evacuate when you are on the way there.
eeek:
I never thought Nick was that scary!
