British holiday makers in Spain

British people walk around without shirts (and blubber on show, etc) over here too. People who don't like it are surrounded by it all summer.
And we've gotta put up with drunk roudy football supporters/stag party-goers all year round too.

The airlines spotted an opportunity to make money and they went for it. That is literally the ugly face of capitalism.

The authorities at the destination points saw that there would be money making opportunities and they too went for it, often incentivising the airlines to fly in.

It's not fair to blame the airlines for the bad behaviour of tourists. That is due to the decay of moral and family values in the festering repository of excrement that the UK has become under the Labour 'government'.

I blame the likes of EasyJet and RyanAir for this sort of Brit Yob Tourist culture. Cheap airlines have a lot to answer for. It has become far too easy for any old lout to jump on an aeroplane and slob around in a gorgeous Mediterranean seaside town, guzzling beer, scoffing egg & chips, and letting their obese guts hang out in the sun. But guess what, many of the previously quaint coastal resorts actively encourage this type of clientelle! Look at the number of "Brit Bars" and chip shops in these places, it's not exactly discouraging for Brit Slobs is it? I personally try and visit some of the better preserved places and make the effort to learn the language and eat the local food. And show a little respect. However, if you allow Fat Bob and his stag do mates to travel to Ibiza and get wrecked for 50 quid each then what do you expect.

At the end off the day get a life and if every one gave some respect and consideration for others the whole world would be a nice place!!!
But I must admitt I visit Spain very regular, Im from Scotland but I dont go too Spain too eat haggis and drink whisky! Show some respect too the Spaniards and try some of their culture because when You do what a difference it makes too being accepted!!

I would like to make a complaint please sir. its regarding your ignorance towrads the adoption process. If Jeremy Beadle was still here he would be ashamed, god bless his soul. The situation has went too far and me must take action now or else our ancestors will suffer through our stupidity and anxiety. arrrgg makes me sick!

hahaha! "I'm 6ft 5in.. 22 stone of solid muscle.. A 3 times former Mr Derbyshire .. and I'm able to squeeze an apple into dust with my grip.. I holiday in Spain and enjoy myself fully.. I have no ego.. Live and let live is my motto. If folk want to walk around with their 'blubber hanging out'...so what!!!" no ego, really? amazing how high they can stack sh*t these days..

If I said white, you'd say black, wouldn't you, "topsyturvy uk"? I've seen your posts before. What an irascible s*d you are.

I love the jolly boys outings to Spain. Every year without fail we invade them. Gallons and gallons of 'San Mig Sorehead' from Mick's Tavern that preps you up for the pavement pizza toward the end of the night. Hammered, then repeat the following night.

Numero Uno, I imagine you are just a big water tank, pumped up on steroids.

'able to squeeze an apple into dust with my grip'. Only a mincer would type somthin' like this.

I can smoke 40 a day and drink 18 pints without being sick so nur.

You don't mince your words do you ?. I found the Spanish to be quite friendly when I've been there, but then they are after the tourist money I suppose. BTW, what's a nonce and could you eat a whole one.

Totally agree with the gripe, but it isn't just in Spain. We usually go to Greece or Turkey and it is just the same.
I don't think the chips thing is so bad, they do go very well with pizza, kebabs & grills; what I can't understand is the obsession with roast dinners & steak & kidney pies. A bit much when the temperature is 90deg or more! I must admit though to having the occasional large beer by the pool or in a restaurant as well, cheaper than 2 small ones!
Part of the pleasure of going abroad is eating foreign food, and I always work on the assumption that the Greeks know how to cook Greek food; they may not know how to cook English food.
As for the dress sense, what is it anyway with people who obviously do no excercise at all & sports wear? All that polyester in hot weather, sweaty!
I do think the least you can do if you are going to a nice restaurant for dinner is try to look respectable. Long trousers are not always necessary for men, some smart shorts are ok as long as they wear a fairly decent shirt, not a t shirt or football shirt! As for women, there are always such nice floaty summer clothes in the shops; not expensive either. Why go to a restaurant in clothes you'd wear to the beach? I also think it looks awful when young girls (or heaven forbid older ones) wear shorts with half their bum hanging out below. Show some respect to the people who are trying to make sure you have a good holiday!
We have actually seen the old guy you refer to on Corfu, long shorts, trainers, football shirt & baseball cap; he must have been over 70! We called him "the world's oldest teenager".
I won't even get started on the unsightly naked flesh or I'll be here all day! Cover it up, for goodness' sake!
We always try to dress respectably when on holiday; we seem to be sucessful as on weekend breaks in Paris, Barcelona and Palma we have been taken for all sorts of nationalities like French, Spanish or Italian rather than British!
