Probably "Disco" Biscuits.

 

I saw that. Apparently the Portuguese Police went undercover and staked the pub out for ages. All this for prizes of chocolate and biscuits.

 

So because we're Brits, we shouldn't respect other countries laws?

 

They weren't doing anything illegal. No money was changing hands.

 

Depends on what the Portuguese class as gambling.

If only we had a Portuguese poster on here, eh HFFP

 

Almost everything about gambling is proibited here in Portugal. Even raffles aren't aloud except for charity (But everyone plays and no one cares).

 

They were Penguins and, thus, a protected species?

 

I see, so you're a lawyer now eh? They WERE doing something illegal, they were gambling, as defined in the Portuguese law thingys. The fact it wasn't for cold hard cash is irrelevant.

Anyone going to offer up a "its not their fault they didn't know" as a defence?

 

Biscuits, pebbles, cash, it does not matter. Gambling is illegal there, they were gambling. They broke the law. We should be saluting Portugal's insistence on not letting visitors take the piss and break laws by pleading ignorance of them.

Shouldn't we?

 

I went there a few years ago, I didn't like it so I moved to Villamora (?), which was much much better and I would go there again.

 

Its not the possession of said crunchy sweet baked goods, its what they were doing with them that was illegal.

 

Are you telling us that when you go abroad you first research laws which might be different from in England in your destination country even when they are disregarded by the locals?

 

I bet you 2 hob nobs that they wont be

 

I'll see your two hob nobs and raise you a Wagon Wheel and 3 Jammy Dodgers. I'll also have 2 Viennese Melts on 22 please.

 

Is it permitted to play with Yo-Yo's?

 

Those things are like the crack cocaine of the biscuit world. You can never have just one.
