A Shropshire family have told how they were attacked by a mob of up to 30 people in a Cypriot resort.

Simon Pierpoint, his wife Jeanette, and their five sons, from Bronygarth, near Oswestry, fled after being attacked in Paphos with knives and wooden planks.

I read the story a few days ago. It sounds to me as though the bloke and his sons were pissed up and got into an argument. Nothing unusual.

Pint and fight in Paphos, sounds like a great night out....not!

A few glasses of red and a fight with the Wife is all I can expect.

Some people get all the luck.

It's too hot to move let alone fight.

You should be in the middle of London. Its a regular event. A pint and a fight!!

A cowardly attack that the police ought to examine and bring the culprits to court.
Provoked or unprovoked this was an attack aimed at killing someone , who are these monsters who used such excessive violence causing horrific injuries.

How on earth did you arrive at that conclusion?
Not all Brits are 'lager louts'!

I have four adult kids and if I wanted to sit in a pub with them here I should As for leaving it to report until they arrived back in the UK that was probably sensible, the man is in his fifties for crissakes, not exactly a troublemaker at that age Perhaps you can explain why 30 odd locals were already 'tooled' up when attack happened. Yeah right!!!
