If you want to ask a silly Greek Island holiday question, please ask us

By Holly James
Holiday Advice (Published: 13 November 2011)

One British caller asked what to do about ants in his holiday villa ... it's just some of the many bizarre requests straining the UK Foreign Office staff, and they clarified, "We're not directory inquiries"!

Other calls included a man on holiday in Greece who asked the consulate for advice on prime spots for fishing in Greece, another who asked what restaurants might not be full for the holidays and someone who wanted to know what shoe size Prince Charles wears. Someone else rang the consulate in Sydney to find out what clothes he should pack for his holiday and a man in Dubai asked consular officials to meet his dog on arrival at customs since he was on holiday when the dog was to land.

Perfect Blue holidays run an "Ask The Expert" service for exactly this type of request. Usually, we know the answer. If we don't, we're always happy to use our local connections to find out. So please, don't call the UK Foreign Office with these questions - it's what we're here for.
