"They did not get picked up by the italian police". Technically correct. My apologies.
A spokesman for the Italian 'redcaps' said: "They were both the worse for wear after having been on a tour of the bars of Gioia. One was staggering around the piazza while the other was collapsed on the ground.
"They had not caused any problems in the town but had certainly had a lot to drink as the officers involved could not get any sense from them at all". They alerted an RAF liaison officer and they came to pick them up.
