It certainly came as a surprise last year - including a surprise to visiting holiday-makers!

I wonder how many came from Europe for a "late summer holiday" and got a nasty surprise when they couldn't get a drink at the hotel bar in the evening, or a glass of wine with their dinner?

Whilst respecting others' cultures and religion, I'll bet there's quite a few who said "Bahrain, never again" - a shame for a generally lovely island which needs the tourist trade.

As was said before, "those who prefer not to, don't have to"!

Just wondering if it was due to pressure from a neighbouring country whose nationals flock across the causeway every Wednesday and Thursday evening
