Bad Hungarian source
[edit]The part about Hungary might be a slight embellishment on a botched translation of a silly hungarian gossip piece. There is no river "Mindszentas" in hungary. However, there is the river Tisza with nice sandy beahces at it's southern leg, for example around the town Szentes and Mindszent which have some popular summer resorts. (Well popular at least locally) Sand is excavated for building material routinely along the river.
I did not found any evidence in hungarian press about this kind of theft. It is possible, but not very likely.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.133.26.25 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 2 July 2012
- That sounds like just the sort of thing a beach thief would say to hide their crime! What about the Hungarian source provided? Is this not a reliable source to back the claim made? Blue Rasberry (talk) 10:12, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
