Bipolar spending spree

British tourist spends more that €172,000 while on holiday in Spain A BRITISH man has spent

Win a one night stand

more than €172,000 during a shopping spree in Spain. Mark Rushton, who suffers from bipolar disorder, bought items including 17 pairs of shoes costing €1,500, €700 of cigars and a €300 bottle of Cognac. He also cleared the shelves of a gourmet delicatessen before being asked to leave. Rushton was eventually arrested after leaving a shop without paying for a €20 Cuban cigar. He was treated at a psychiatric hospital in Santander before returning to the UK.

NO CREDIT: Clearing out the bank account

POLICE had to step in when the owner of a bar offered his punters a chance to win a one-night stand with a nude waitress. Owner Miguel Angel Cortes, had mistakenly thought the idea of a naked raffle would encourage visitors to his bar in Salobrena. Flyers were delivered throughout the town, promising a raffle ticket with every drink. However, locals were so horrified that they called the police.

Sexploits

Cortes got off with a warning, and cancelled the competition, but his sexploits have not made him many friends in the apartment block above the bar. María José García, equality councillor in Salobrena, has labelled the advertising campaign as “sexist and disrespectful towards women”. She told the Spanish news service EFE, “It incites prostitution and views women as mere objects.”

Major street FORMER Conservative prime minister John Major has had a road named after him in Candeleda.

Worn waste WOMEN wear only a third of the 57 items they take, on average, for a two week holiday.

Fisty cuffed

A FOOTBALL match was abandoned after tempers flared between two police teams. The match, involving teams from forces in Marbella and Northern Ireland, was ended after the Spanish side took exception to having two players sent off. The over-35s game was being played as part of the World Police and Fire Games in Belfast. A spokeswoman for the Games said: “Continued inappropriate behaviour by the Spanish team led the referee to call off the game with 15 minutes of play remaining.”
