The scam that Brits use to pay for their holiday in Spain

Hang on, I thought it was [you]'s fault.

It's like Jim Carrey in The Mask:  "Somebody stop me!"

Seriously, it has me in side-splitting laughter.  Easily amused.

Am I right in thinking this stupid thing will only work if the @ button is used to highlight the name?

No it's nothing to do with the @.  The @ still works normally, in fact it's incompatible with the YOU button - thank god    The stupid thing only works when somebody puts the button into their post.

Looks like it could soon be removed though

No. When you are typing a response just add the little person who is immediately to the right of the "off topic" button which is just under all the emotes above where you are typing.

There is one of these companies advertising on the radio to "help" people claim if they have been taken ill on holiday.  I've heard the advert a number of times.

But last year Miguel was hit by around 200 claims alleging food poisoning. Every single one was from a British holidaymaker, with not a single complaint coming from the Germans or the Dutch. None of the Brits complained to the hotel at the time; all the claims were lodged by UK claims management companies once the holiday-makers returned home.

This could just as easily go on the 'What I Hate About Facebook' page but here we go.

As some of you know, my son & daughter-in-law recently spent a week in Tenerife visiting me.

Guess what popped up on her timeline?

From the DM, apparently a lot of cases are being dropped after the threat of prosecution from the Spanish. Good move.
