Other British tourists found their holidays were spoiled because "the beach was too sandy" and "no one told us there would be fish in the sea; the children were startled".

:har::har::har:
Fish in the sea, ain't it the obvious :haha:

* It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during "siesta" time — this should be banned.

What a twat!
I've heard that some times before.

and it really has nothing to do with beeing lazy, we have lunch in the afternoon and we take our time with that. after lunch we have like an hour break. when we re-open again we start fresh again and we do not have those dreadly last hours that we ''just want to go hoooooooooome but that last hour is crawling!....:zzz:''

DAMN those wide sandy beaches and oceans full of fish. And let's not get started on the consistency of the soup. Honestly, it's enough to ruin a perfectly pleasant holiday, according to a list of recent complaints by British tourists.
Consider this "it's all your fault" rant by a woman who returned to Britain with an unexpected holiday souvenir: "My fiance and I booked a twin-bed room but we were placed in a double-bed room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant."

Omg, can you imagine if these people had been Americans? :o

One disgruntled wife declared that topless sunbathing should be banned because her "holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women".

Well, come on, what did she expect? He was taking in the local scenery:D Now, if he was taking pictures for the vacation photo album then you might have something:O:

No this is no joke. We have tourists who do that. I'm going to the Costa Dorado in June and it is those kind of tourists I will be with..I approach with trepidation....

I think I will escape to Barcelona for the 2 weeks....

Whinging pommy still doesn't understand about Australian Life, and I'll bet they still don't know about our Australian History Captain James Cook landed in Botany Bay in 1788 near Kurnell.

Bloody Pommy :nope::nope:

This is what happens when thick-***** of any nationality go on holiday abroad.
Question is: What is attracting them to Aussie shores? :hmmm:

They probably wanted it to be just as at home, but added a very long way to travel to make it look more interesting... :88)

Yes it's fascinating with people that leave home and get disappointed when it's different.

I encountered the same with expats in Russia. The scary thing is these were supposed to be educated people.
