A hotel has been forced to send out a letter to its British guests threatening £1,400 fines for anyone caught ‘logging’ in swimming pools while on holiday.
The bizarre internet craze (that’s no one had heard of until now) has apparently become a favourite pastime for ‘boozed up Brits abroad’, according to one holiday spot in Egypt.
The owners claim participants are deliberately pooing in their crowded pools before ‘watching the carnage unfold around them’.

The letter, sent by First Choice hotel Egyptian Red Sea Holiday Village, said they were being overwhelmed by the number of ‘logging’ cases recently.
‘We understand that accidents can happen, but the frequency of this suggests that it no longer remains accidental,’ the letter said.
The hotel, which is popular among Britons for hen and stag parties, has also implemented warnings over loudspeakers.
It added that they hoped guests would remain ‘vigilant’ against the practice.
Travel law expert Nick Harris, of Simpson Millar solicitors, said: ‘This is a very worrying trend and the craze has really taken off in the last few years.
‘We have dealt with hundreds of cases where people have been left seriously ill.
‘Some idiots think it is humorous to deliberately poo in a crowded pool and then sit back and watch the carnage unfold as people try to escape the pool like a panic scene from the film Jaws.’
He added: ‘Quite frankly it is a very disturbing and selfish trend that ruins holidays.’
