Englishmen Abroad…

Germany’s tabloid newspaper, Bild, has printed a list of holiday resorts to avoid – those dominated by the British. This comes after a British man was awarded £750 (953 euros) after suing his travel company over a holiday at a resort filled with Germans. The man was awarded compensation last week for a holiday in Greece which he argued had been spoilt by the number of German tourists and the fact that all the activities were organised in the German language.

Bild recommends avoiding the best-known destinations for British holidaymakers and lists the top six ‘black spots’ as the Bay of Palma in Majorca, San Antonio in Ibiza, Playa de las Americas in Tenerife, Ayia Napa in Cyprus, Faliraki on the Greek island of Rhodes and Malia in Crete.

Just in case the Germans have a problem identifying British tourists abroad, Bild has a guide on its online version, illustrated with an unappealing photo of two sunburnt women on sun chairs. It also ridicules British cuisine, binge-drinking, fashion and sport, says that “athletically they are not up to much, they can’t even take penalties.”

Its reassuring to know that Tabloid newspapers in Germany speak the same “language” as those in the UK and while Bild prints a list of all the British Hangouts around Europe(all the ones where our “model citizens” go at least) you certainly couldn’t accuse this German Newspaper of not having a sense of humour.

Orange Crush.

The sale of Oranges in the UK are on the slide. The reason? Apparently we are far to busy to spend time peeling an Orange.

How about I substitute the word “Busy” with “Lazy”.

I think that just about sums it up.

The Knives are out.

The mayor of London spoke earlier this week about the high amount of knife crime which currently appears to be catching the attention of the media. One of his solutions to this is to teach youths Latin.

I suppose that people who speak Latin would behave more civilised and not carry Knifes?

“Et tu Brute?”
