When we were in France a few weeks ago there was a story on the news
about an unwary tourist who was imprisoned in Vietnam when he was
found to have diazepam, prescribed for his back pain. Frantic legal
scurrying obtained his release from prison, but he had to remain in
the country until investigations were complete.
But then he was a Frog. No doubt a mere wave of "Her Britannic Majesty
requires and requests" would have secured his immediate release from
custody.
