Stupid or what
Two Brits travelling on a motorcycle tour were advised not to enter Iran by the UK foreign office. They said as they were only touring on a motor cycle and wanted to enjoy Iran and it's culture. So they ignored the UK Gov advice.
Well they certainly will get to expeirence iranian hospitality as they have been arrested for being spies.
Now thier families are appealing to the UK Gov to seek there release.
How bloody stupid can some one be.

They could be naive, but stupid more likely. They have been lucky to get that far, without serious issues.

According to the news here they were on their way to Oz.
Bit difficult with a motor bike unless it has some form of floaters.


Happy daze John in Oz.
