An all-inclusive holiday has many benefits but not this many.

If you’ve ever been on an all-inclusive holiday abroad, you’ll be familiar with the perks that come with it.

In most cases, having already paid a fixed sum of money, you’ll be entitled to eat and drink to your heart’s desire and in many cases, the effects will unfortunately be very visible on the weighing scales afterwards.

Most people are fully aware that the liberties granted by the precious wristbands handed out by resorts to customers who have availed of the all-inclusive service apply only to the resorts themselves, but one British couple drastically overestimated its powers on holiday on the Greek island of Rhodes recently.

According to dimokratiki.gr, a middle-aged British couple walked out of a restaurant in Hippocrates Square in the Old Town in Rhodes before being reminded by the owner that they had neglected to pay for the meal.

The couple then brandished their all-inclusive wristbands they had been given by a resort on the island, thinking that it granted them freedom to eat and drink for free on the ENTIRE island.

I saw the same thing happen in Chania 2 years ago.  A family of, I think, Fins walked out of a taverna on the harbour and when stopped brandished their wristbands.  After a heated discussion with the Fins pretending not to understand any language but their own the police were called and, presumably, Fins became able to speak in tongues, paid up and went.  The Greeks were not impressed and the word "malaka" was heard many times.

The same word sums up the British couple on Rhodes.
