Man learns casino losses not deductible
HARSTAD, Norway, March 2 (UPI) -- A group of British soldiers in northern Norway for winter exercises decided to do a drunken striptease in a bar in Harstad, a report said.
Once they had their clothes off, the soldiers urinated on the floor of the Sfinx bar and on each other, Aftenposten reported.
Cecelie Kleppe told VG, an Oslo newspaper, that the soldiers were already annoying while they were still dressed. Then they began yelling "naked bar."
"Some of them even started waving their private parts at the other guests," Kleppe said. "Two of the Englishmen urinated on a fellow soldier who was lying on the floor. It was disgusting."
Northern Norway serves as a training area for winter and mountain fighting for many NATO countries. Harstad, 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, is the principal town in the Vesteralen Islands.
The bar manager said that he did not report the soldiers' conduct to police but had been assured by military officials they would be punished.
