A British stag party member has made the national headlines in Portugal for all the wrong reasons as he was found much the worse for wear, attached to a lamp post in the stag capital of the Algarve, Albufeira.
Wearing but a grin, the young man had been secured to the council's street lighting solution by clingfilm with a beer bottle firmly wedged between his buttocks.
This was no late night prank as startled onlookers were treated to this fine display of British behaviour in the middle of the day last Friday.
A well refreshed group of around a dozen Britons left Albufeira’s famous drinking strip, secured their victim to the lamppost and showered him with booze followed by a thick layer of flour and the insensitive insertion of a cold beer bottle.
In this age of mobile phones, much of this surprising event was captured for later amusement by passers by.
The GNR must have been in holiday mode as, having been called to the scene, they were content that the naked, flour pasted reveller did not want to press charges and in a spirit worthy of the 'oldest alliance' allowed him to return to the drinking session with his mates, minus the offending beer bottle.
