Yeah, I’d read it was an hour after when the first calls were made to report a potential issue. The amount of disinformation out there makes it a tough one to figure out.

Like you said earlier, a possible drugs issue is really muddying it.

Yeah the clumpers from island village (palmers rent a mob) made the whole of the Veronica’s / Starco areas moody as fuck. Throw in your Romanian/Albanian/ Moroccan dealers and pickpockets and the British gangsters (wannabe in many cases) and it was a melting pot of unsavoury cunts.

Went in Veronicas in my early twenties in late 80s. Stayed in about 5 minutes and never went near it the whole two weeks. Stayed in the bar below our hotel being entertained by Sidney Harbour and his wife, Pearl! Singers before anyone starts. ;).

Stunning climate but that's all for me, black beaches are so unattractive and far too many people with issues, but each to there own.

Black Beaches Matter

Both could lead to a potential sticky end so play it safe and head to Luton for a week.

It's not far to work to Glossop from Manchester city centre. You can stop for a break in Hattersley

Monday was spent trying to get the stories straight…

I thought the parents both mentioning he didn’t want to go was odd, myself.

I hope you got a free Tiramisu

Didn’t we play them in the Europa Cup?

Was a bit before my time. The mood was good down there when I first arrived mid 90s but had definitely taken a turn for the worse by the late 90s early 2000’s.
Had become a free for all with pub crawls, booze cruises and the usual 18-30 nonsense but after the program ‘Tenerife uncovered’ was aired and showed the island in a really poor light (I was in it..haha!) the authorities had a proper clampdown and banned the 18-30s and a few others like Twenties and over the past 20 years has cleaned its act up mostly.
Still going to get the odd issue but there’s not a tourist destination on the planet that can fully escape the more unsavoury aspects.

Why didn't he try to hitch a lift if he'd missed the bus? Rather than embark upon a 10 hour walk?
