i was talking to a friend recently and she had mentioned how rowdy the English get when they're on holiday. and today i saw this. have the British eclipsed the Americans as undesirable tourists?

Re: the Ugly Brit

there was a report on the french news recently that basically said the same thing as this article - drunk english generally pissing everyone off in Nice.

Re: the Ugly Brit

from the article: A recent report published by the British Foreign Office, “British Behavior Abroad,” noted that in a 12-month period in 2006 and 2007, 602 Britons were hospitalized and 28 raped in Greece, and that 1,591 died in Spain and 2,032 were arrested there.

Re: the Ugly Brit

As far as I'm aware, we've always been the worst behaved on holidays. I'm usually embarrased by fellow Brits abroad and tend to avoid them at all costs. Having said that, the kind of places I've been on holiday (India, Croatia, Malaysia etc..) are not the places these morons go. They prefer places near the Med where they can read all the signs and shout at the locals. These places are getting a battering form ignorant fucks, and I'm not suprised the locals are getting pissed off. Before tourism hit them they lived in a nice, quiet seaside town and now for 4 or 5 months of the year they have to put up with drunken tossers wandering about ebing obnoxious.

Having said that, views like this are just ignorant:

[QUOTE] “I think that in their country, they are like prisoners and they want to feel free,” said Niki Pirovolaki, who works in a bakery on Malia’s main street and often encounters addled Britons heading back to their hotels — “if they can remember where they are staying,” she said. [/QUOTE]

Prisoners? Hmmm...

Re: the Ugly Brit

Thanks Hypo ... but you're being far too kind !

Basically brits fall into two categories ... the cultured ones (about 20%) and the ones with th small island/us against the world/we used to have an empire and hate johnny foreigner types (80%).

The latter are generally very very working class, and only go abroad because the weather back home is always crap ! Because we are worked so hard in th UK the annual holiday is a release when people behaviourally "anything goes".

Dental care was always available via the National Health Service .. but some people have phobias about the dentist - may be the drills !

my teeth are like a trainwreck

the expense is just to much over here, for a decent straightening of teeth ur talking £2000 plus, its outragous and most dentists wont take nhs patients now so everyones left to pay for it themselves

back on subject......brits like the drink culture which leeds to them going a bit mental in the sun, they aint used to it so they drink more than usual to combat the heat, foolish
