This is the first time I have seen a report of someone detained by Border Control when over the 90/180 limit.
The report appears in the Daily Express, so bear in mind the slant it would take. There are also a couple of questions around "Sonia's" account, but if the basic facts of the story are correct then it would appear that Border Control is checking.

The rules are 90 days.Border control are taking notice.

Seems like Sonia has a beef with the authorities because “nobody had told her” about the 90/180 ruling?!
My uncle has just returned from Benidorm and he knows someone who overstayed by 3 days and was fined £4000!

Wow,that would bring tears to your eyes!No disrespect but how reliable is your Uncles information?Reason I ask that is a lot of reports are third hand.My own report was good friends of mine(who I believe)have good friends and they overstayed 2 weeks with €180 fine each in France.My own take is that the wheels are turning albeit slowly.

It was third hand, but he did say they wanted to have a few more days enjoying the good weather. Not worth the risk...

I think the woman getting detained in Madrid is probably true, My friends account of their friends fine is true.Can’t vouch for the rest.
