Brit couple left fuming after sunlounger warning on holiday – despite 6am hoggers being ignored
A BRITISH couple have been left furious at their hotel's 'unfair' sunlounger rules - after being told off for being away for half an hour. Jo and Martin were left shocked after they left their sunlounger for 30 minutes at their 3 A British couple have been left furious at their hotel's 'unfair' sunbed rules after they were left a 'warning card' Credit: Jam Press 3 The couple had only left their loungers for 30minutes when they received the warning, despite other loungers being left for hours Credit: Jam Press Whilst staying at the four-star, £140-a-night H10 Salauris Palace in the resort town of Salou near Jo said: "When you leave your sunbed for 30 minutes, yet others leave theirs for two plus hours and nothing gets done to them. "Two-tier sunbed policing at the H10 Salauris Palace, Salou." A clip of the event, shared by the couple on TikTok, quickly went viral, wracking up over 235,000 views according to What's The Jam.

Another added: "At least somewhere with rules with sunbeds though, but probably should be after one hour." "I would place it on someone else's," another user then joked. The couple, who had travelled from Belfast, also shared a video of the hotel's sunbeds appearing to be fully 'reserved' in the morning. Most read in News Travel Jo added: "Unless you get down to the pool at 6am, you won't get a good location for your lounger." Someone then commented on the video: "We are in a five-star in Dubai-like hotel resort in Spain that has huge swimming pool, beach club and 'sunloungers for days' Known as 'Grump' online, Jo also complained about tourists using large pegs to keep their towels in place, especially on windy days. She said: "What is it with these giant pegs on sunbeds that annoyed me so much? "We survived without these for years before!" However, many users disagreed with her in the comments noting how they are useful and even make a "sunbed look quite pretty". One user even confessed they were the "best fiver I ever spent". The H10 Salauris Palace has been approached for comment. Majorca removes sunbeds and parasols from its top beaches MORE than 1,700 sun loungers were recently removed from top beaches around Palma, as part of an anti-tourist backlash on the island of Majorca. Palma's government announced the plans, after locals complained they weren't able to find a sunbathing spot. Residents said they struggled to find space for their beach towels due to the large number of pay-per-use loungers and umbrellas. The matter has not been helped by the fact that the island's beaches are eroding, following poor weather over the last year. Storms, rising sea levels and erosion have taken a toll on the six-kilometre-long Playa de Palma. The number of sunbeds has already been reduced for 2025 and in 2026, the numbers will be even lower. According to Bild, Playa de Palma is set to lose the most sunbeds - reducing 6,000 to 4,436. Out of 2,503 parasols, 2,218 will remain. In Cala Major, the number of sunbeds will decrease from 300 to 250. Elsewhere in Palma's coastal suburb of Ciutat Jardi, 12 of the 300 sun loungers will go and so will six parasols. The at Cala Estància, in Can Pastilla, there will be only 132 sun loungers instead of 150 and 66 parasols instead of 75. Other beaches are also looking to reduce sunbed and parasol numbers.

Hodgkin Lymphoma: Tumor Size Linked to Risk for Relapse
Maximum tumor diameter (MTD) showed a strong association with the risk for relapse in patients with limited-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) achieving PET negativity, with each centimeter increase in MTD linked to a 21% higher risk for relapse. METHODOLOGY: Researchers analyzed 1278 patients with stage I/IIA HL without mediastinal bulk who achieved PET negativity after doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine treatment across two trials: RAPID (n = 419) and H10 (n = 859). Participants received either chemotherapy alone (n = 514) or combined modality therapy with chemotherapy plus radiotherapy (n = 764), with treatment allocation determined by trial protocols. Analysis included evaluation of baseline MTD measured using CT, with investigators examining its association with event-free survival and progression-free survival. TAKEAWAY: MTD demonstrated a consistent association with event-free survival in both the H10 validation cohort (hazard ratio [HR], 1.22; 95% CI, 1.07-1.38; P = .003) and the RAPID cohort (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02-1.39; P = .02). = .003) and the RAPID cohort (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02-1.39; = .02). Treatment modality and MTD emerged as independent risk factors, with patients receiving chemotherapy alone showing a 5-year event-free survival rate of 92.4% (95% CI, 89.1%-94.7%) with MTD < 5 cm vs 82.3% (95% CI, 73.8%-88.2%) with MTD ≥ 5 cm. According to the researchers, no clear MTD threshold was identified above which marked differences in event-free survival occurred, suggesting a continuous relationship between the tumor size and the risk for relapse. IN PRACTICE: 'This international validation study confirms MTD is strongly associated with relapse risk in patients with LS-HL [limited-stage HL] achieving PET− and informs decision-making around risk-adapted application of modality and MTD were independent risk factors; patients with higher MTD receiving chemotherapy alone had the greatest relapse risk,' the authors of the study wrote. SOURCE: This study was led by Elizabeth H. Phillips, PhD, Division of Cancer Sciences, The University of Manchester and Manchester Academic Health Science Centre, Manchester, England. It was published online on May 13 in Blood Advances . LIMITATIONS: According to the authors, this study lacked centralized radiology review, which may have affected the consistency of MTD measurements across different imaging planes. Additionally, baseline PET assessment was not mandatory in either trial, limiting the ability to compare tumor diameter measurements with advanced PET metrics such as metabolic tumor volume. DISCLOSURES: This study received support from the National Institute for Health Research and Social Care, the Wellcome/EPSRC Centre for Medical Engineering at King's College London, and the National Institute for Health Research Manchester Biomedical Research Centre.
