I was wondering: does everyone remember the British holidaymakers accused of spying in Greece a couple of years ago?

I seem to remember them being released on bail, but then heard nothing more. I also remember our government doing nothing to help.

Anyone know the outcome?

Thanks for that. Wasn't that a farce? The thing was the Greeks were on really dodgy ground, there.

For one, the whole incident could have cost them millions in lost tourist trade and as an ally and fellow NATO member, it is just so obviously stupid it seems unreal.

Just to let you know, I have been doing some research on this subject over the past 24 hours and have come up with some surprising if not disturbing result.

It seems the Greeks have been retaliating. I just have a couple of interviews left to do, and then I am going to write up an investigative article up about it.

Watch 'Speaking of Which'. Hopefully it will be sorted by the weekend.

Cheers
