Shore leave hijinks in Chile resulted in a hefty fine for two Royal Navy sailors when they took the concept of a takeaway 'Big Mac' a little too literally. The pair absconded from a local McDonald's restaurant in the Chilean port of Valparaiso with a life size Ronald McDonald statue. The 'McThieves' were ordered to pay £350 damages by the Valparaiso court while poor Ronald ended up face down in the harbour. The two men have formerly apologised to McDonald's while a BBC source in Chile (is that a Chile Source?) emphasised the good humour of the locals, saying that "Most Chileans have laughed at the pair's antics."
