So, in a word, yes ?

Where did he stab you ?

No the Holiday was OK, and I now have the Kudos of saying I fought off a bottle wielding mugger. He did stab me though before I kicked his head in.

It's not a diving holiday as such.

But I do happen to be taking mask, fins, computer, hood ('tis winter after all...) and QRB, just in case...

Be careful walking around in Tenerife late at night, there have been a spate of muggings recently.

Rusky Chavs at that! I was down for a weeks diving a few weeks ago and it was incredible - 90% of the arrivals hall at Sharm was full of big fat tatooed drunk russians. Some of the blokes were pretty bad too.

I'm hoping that it's less chavvy in the winter...

Are you going diving overthere?

The other thing is... haven't the Canaries become a transit camp for all those highly skilled african workers fleeing to Europe?
