I felt a little annoyed with one of the relatives on the radio this morning criticising the Portuguese police. She said that at first the family had difficulty making the police understand what had happened. So it's the police's fault that they don't speak English? How many times do we criticise foreigners here for expecting our police to understand their language? Presumably someone at the hotel could speak English and Portuguese? A holiday rep?
