There can be few British holidaymakers who have pitched up on the shores of one of Greece's idyllic islands and not considered setting up home in a little whitewashed village for good. While it was such sun-dappled scenes that first enticed Lizzie Clifton (right) and Kim Spence (centre and left) to the country, they were convinced to stay by the handsome local men with whom they struck up relationships. So far, so very Shirley Valentine. But unlike the eponymous heroine of the hit movie (inset), their tales don't have happy endings.
