I thought drunk Britons where somewhat harmless without a soccer game..

"This place is full of girls that are well fit," said Christopher Duff, 21, an electrician from north Wales. "Four slutty girls have moved into the hotel with us and I intend to sleep with all of them by the end of the holiday. We've heard about the reputation of the place and that's why we've come here."

/Bloody well right.

protestations... sounds so, dirty.

Howabout instead of arresting the drunk ones, just reward the sober ones, say with reduced hotel fees or free meals?

There was an 'Allo 'Allo bit (a sit com about a café owner in occupied France) where they discuss how shot down British airmen are identified: You can usually find them drunk with a tin of lager in one hand pissing against a wall singing 'Here we go!'

"Elsewhere that night in the popular holiday resort of Laganas..."

Anyone else have to read that five times to see that it didn't say lasagnas?...or am I just hungry?

FTFA:

"Police say they are getting tough with rowdy British tourists. Really?"

If you turn into a douche after a few beers (or more), maybe you can't handle liquor.

Free Lasagnas and Laganas? To test sobriety, they would have to say that fast ten times.

excerpts from The Sunday Times:

BBC3 faces questions over tabloid TV
Dipesh Gadher, Media Correspondent March 25, 2007

Mark Thompson, the head of the BBC, is to be questioned by MPs over the "dubious" content of the corporation's channel for young adults after commissioning a string of programmes with expletive-ridden titles.

The latest offerings from BBC3 include F*** Off, I'm a Hairy Woman; F*** Off, I'm Ginger; and My Big Breasts and I.

Other shows to be broadcast on the digital channel later this year include a £200,000 documentary, The History of the C-Word, and a programme about the size of men's penises.
...
One of BBC3's most controversial new shows is called My Penis and Everyone Else's. It is aimed at "challenging society's stereotypes of masculinity as well as getting to the heart of why men are so fixated with their members".


When you need a Sodom and Gomorrah article, get a Sodom and Gomorrah writer.

Is familiar with problematic European vacations.

The stereotype is the ugly American, but no one thinks about them any more compared to the British stagger.

Assholes. Pretty much every one of them.

Perhaps if you had places worth visiting, they wouldn't have to get drunk to enjoy them?

/just a theory

That don't make no sense.

I live in Europe. You'll have to re-theorize.

I agree. At least among youth (mid-20s and younger) travelers in Europe, it was my experience that the Brits, followed by the Aussies, were much louder, rowdier, and more disrespectful of the natives than Americans.

/biased ugly American.

While the Loud American still holds true, the Drunk Brit is many times more annoying, less charming and not nearly as courteous.

/Drunk American

Got a half eaten sandwich thrown at my by a Brit, while biking in Amsterdam, so I'm getting........

No, I'm not, I so wanted to hit that Farker with my bike chain.

swahnhennessy: While the Loud American still holds true, the Drunk Brit is many times more annoying, less charming and not nearly as courteous.

Loud American still stands, they ask dumb questions, but the drunk Brit has to be the most annoying.
Then there are the self righteous Germans and Russians.

Yer but no but...

OK, yer... the drunken filty loud mouth chavs are a frikkin disgrace but no...these holiday destinations have economies specifically designed to sell cheap booze to filthy loud mouthed promiscuos chavs and make loadsamoney out of doing so.

If you want them to behave better, maybe stop selling them bathtubs of strong alcoholic bevarges for pennies.

I wonder if Senor Frog operates in Greece.

I can't wait until the 2012 London Olympics. Two-and-a-half weeks of drunkenness with European women! And us Yanks can argue with the Brits about which sport is the real football.

Who are the Britons?

Brings back fond memories of a Twenties holiday in Greece with alcohol fuelled foam parties on boats, streaking thorugh the streets and sex with the tour rep...where did all that go?

/ahhh things to tell my grandchildren

No, I'm serious.
And it wouldn't even cost very much.

The trick, of course, is finding sober ones.

Jules Winnfield: us Yanks can argue with the Brits about which sport is the real football.

Simple answer to that one, under the circumstances: Which one's represented at the Olympics ?

To be fair, downtown anywhere after the taverns close can be awful. I'm sure we've all seen things in our own home cities that we wish tourists would not see. This includes the vomiting drunks at closing time.

The Olympics is a place to keep dying sports on a respirator.
