Oh Vince; so young, so innocent. I know how you feel. Perhaps the Foreign and Commonwealth Office should have alerted the Dubai authorities that their country would belong to you for the duration of your stay there and that during this period, their "puny, foreign" laws would be invalid. I feel ashamed of you and feel that a gagging order should have been imposed on you to prevent you returning and misleading prospective travellers to a great place. Their sense of morality and decency are obviously too much for the likes of you!
