Firemen rescue boozy Brit who fell asleep on top of a Magluf lifeguard tower as second drunk lad pictured passed out yards away
THE pair were roused as the sun came up and they were spotted snoozing
TWO drunk Brits went to sleep where they fell after a boozy night out in Magaluf, which saw them kipping on the roof of a lifeguards tower and on a pavement by the beach.
A beach security guard called on firefighters after finding the passed out man in the precarious position. He had tried to wake him but failed.
Fire crews had to run a ladder up the tower before waking the man and helping him to his - still unsteady - feet.
Given that he struggled to stand up hours later, it was remarkable that the man was unable to tell the crews why or how he had got up the tower earlier.
The other man, who slept on the concrete floor of the promenade which runs along Magaluf's beach had presumably been partying along the club strip of Punta Ballena.
Magaluf is currently on a drive to rid itself of its downmarket image after it made headlines round the world two summers ago when a bar sex video involving a British teenager went viral.
New bylaws include changes to the pub crawls which locals feel blight the resort and a ban on night-time street drinking.
But the attempts to clean things up seem to have passed these two men by as they continue to fly the flag for Brit's wild holiday's to the resorts.
Under the modified by-laws, police can fine people drinking in groups who are making noise and being a nuisance, especially between the peak drinking hours of 10pm and 8am.
The night-time sale of take-away alcohol was also banned - and bars ordered to stop customers from taking drinks with them as they moved between pubs on the brash Punta Ballena strip where 95 per cent of revellers are British or Irish.
Councillors also announced cash penalties for people caught jumping from hotel balconies into swimming pools - a craze known in Spain as balconing - and men who take their shirts off away from the beach.
