Australian beaches too sandy...

"Waiter My Soup is too thick"......."Sir your sucking on the Gravy"

They book a holiday to Australia and expect it to be like home with tea and crumpets? Bloody hell some people are ignorant, and the poms always seem to be complaining about something.

And I'm suddenly reminded of part of a Kevin Blood Wilson song.

I am afraid this is not all that uncommon. The Frau and I like "nature type" trips as we both like the beauty of nature. It is always amazing at people who want to see nature but then complain about nature.

"Its wet and muddy" - duh, that's why you see so much green around.

"This trail is too steep, why don't they put in a road" - duh, if you want to see a road, stay at home.

"OMG no one told us there would be raccoons coming into the campground!" - duh, the motel 6 is about an hour that-a-way.

And my all time favourites

"Why can't they make the animals come up to us?" -- duh that's because they are living free. If you want to see animals preform, go to a circus.

"This is a rip off, little Jimmy (Sally) never got to see a bear -- duh, perhaps if Jimmy (Sally) would keep their big mouths shut and wait patiently (like the rest of us), perhaps all of us could have seen a bear.

Some people are just too ignorant to be allowed in nature areas.

Its probably a good thing they didn't see a bear. Ignorant and down right stupid people are the leading cause in most wild animal attacks. In almost all cases it was their own damn fault for getting ripped apart after not respecting either the animal or the environment. This tends to go for most shark attacks too.

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

cheers porphy

Reminds of a line from an old Agatha Christie book. She has one of her characters say "The biggest problem with travelling to a foreign country is all the damned foreigners!":rotfl:

Over the years, it has been my experience that the world is full of foreigners.

Don't worry, the dingoes don't eat babies anymore, they've moved on to tourists! More fat, less fight!
