Well. I know that the article is from the Mirror but I heard on my local radio this morning about one family from the south that got caught up in a similar fiasco recently. Having been met by a fella in a white coat and wearing a mask who stuffed a thermometer in my ear on arrival in Sharm this year. I am ready to believe it. Must have been a nightmare for the parents and children. :mad:

And I am looking at the possibility of a liveaboard this Dec :p

Don't forget this is from the people whose first reaction to swine flu was to kill all the country's pigs:rolleyes:
