Britons held in Finland after going to Russia for beer
« on: June 21, 2017, 09:36:24 am »
A group of British orienteers have been arrested by authorities in Finland after popping over the Russian border for a spot of alcoholic refreshment.

The four unnamed UK citizens had taken part in an orienteering competition in the south of Finland, and "couldn't resist the temptation to cross the frontier for a few quick beers", Finnish state broadcaster YLE reports.

The group was held by a passing border patrol, which spotted their car parked near the frontier where they had crossed on foot. "The men were on the Russian side for maybe 15 minutes. Across the border they had drunk several cans of beer," Finnish Border Guards investigator Timo Hakkinen said.

Doesn't rate Ridiculous News because Brits and beer? It's as predictable as gravity.

I'm ashamed of them, myself. In Russia for 15 minutes and drank "several cans of beer?" It should be several cans of beer each.

I live in close proximity to Canada and I swear the British are becoming more like Americans than Canadians.
