Vince Acors, the British businessman convicted for beach romp in Dubai, on Monday charged that drinking and extra-marital affairs were rife in the desert city.

Five days after he was finally allowed to fly home to London, Acors dubbed Dubai as a city of excesses.

He said: 'Dubai is a massive contradiction.

'Everything is available but it is also illegal. Every single hotel has a bar and all of them have cheap or even free drink evenings.

'You are allowed to go to these places and drink a huge amount of alcohol but when you go outside you get arrested.'

He continued: 'In the bars and clubs people are openly affectionate.  You see all these local guys with girls. 

'You see people in relationships with people to whom they are not married.  

'We were just doing what everyone else was.  But in our case we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.' 

Acors, from Bromley in Kent, travelled to Dubai in July this year for what was planned as a three-day business trip. 

Whilst there he joined a group of friends at one of the city's infamous all-you-can drink brunches.

Four hours of eating and drinking later, he moved on to a nightclub where he met fellow Briton Michelle Palmer, 34, who was working in Dubai as a publishing saleswoman. 

Later the same evening the couple were arrested after being discovered semi-naked on a sun lounger on the city's Jumeirah beach, near to the iconic Burj Dubai hotel.

Just because it is available, should you go overboard and do things done within four walls out in the public? Beaches in Dubai are meant to be for family. This the how you behave in front of kids and ladies? Are you educated? Do you have sense?

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!
