Default Iran holds three Finnish anglers

Three Finns have been detained by Iran while fishing in the Gulf, Finnish diplomats have said.

Hope they dont have to be there for 15 months like some others.

I sincerely agree
But surely you'd think that they would be more careful in light of what recently happened with the UK personnel :hmm:

The sooner they hand over their IPods, the sooner they'll be released.

Plus they'll get free customer tailored polyester suits!
