A chuckle at the expense of my many Brit mates...


Beaches too sandy, fish scare the kids: it's a Fawlty Towers world for some tourists

Sorry lads, I couldn't resist posting this (hehehe)

"I was bitten by a mosquito — no one said they could bite."



yes only the english ( i'm pretty sure it's us mainly ) could whine about sand and shops .....

ah thats why i hate whitby in the summer, it's full of moaning sweaty engish types

ROFL

thanks for that Rudi!

hihihihi.....
heheheheheh
whahahahahaaha......


Nothing like a bit of humour to start your day!

Rudi

Kinda makes you glad some Pom a couple of hundred years ago decided to send some reprobates out here doesn't it?

Brian

LOL! Yeah Jolly ol' England sent all the tough people down under!

The trouble with people like you is that you always think in gross generalisations.

Another summer gone, MORE British tourist complaints for us to chuckle at...

Sun too hot, drinks too strong: bizarre British tourist complaints

Rudi, Rudi my man, this is terrible.
do i smell OZ popping at us because we won the ashes?
little international Jelousy?
deary me.

(please dont quote me, i dont really follow sport)

I don't follow test Cricket, but I do recall you Poms forcing a draw in the first test. Anyway, we thumped you in the 1 dayers, which is the kind of cricket I prefer.

Besides, why would I be jealous of a cloudy, cold, miserable island nation (and that's just the people) that serves bland food and warm beer?

No dear boy, the above post is merely a continuation of the original post - which you'll note was published well before the Ashes started.

Very funny! My family and I left Wrexham in 1976 for Canada, me being the youngest I think I escaped the typical British...shall we say...."resistance to anything different". My parents actually boycotted HP sauce here because "there's garlic powder in the Canadian one". Whenever relatives come over they want to go for fish n chips and watch something called "telly"! Meanwhile Vancouver is one of the nicest places for outdoors stuff!

bland food? warm beer. you must be talking about Australia. Fosters? HA! i laugh at your pitiful excuse for alcamahol!! ( its not too bad i guess).

Fosters Lager isn't as popular in Australia as foreigners might think (probably due to the brand's marketing overseas). Actually, I don't recall having seen anyone drink it when I've been out and about on the crawl.

Is a swimming costume similar to a Halloween costume?

Depends who's wearing it.

really? ah well you cant always trust TV advertising anyway.

Grumpy, if im wearing it, it IS a haloween costume!

responding to the original and continuty of the original thread, i will admit, we are probably the grumpiest nation, Grumpy, you'd fit right in!

The reason for this is that Fosters is actually marketed and sold here in Aus as baby formula, once the kidlets reach 12 months or so they move on to VB.

hihihihiHeHeHeHAHAHAHAHh,........
:D
And I allways thought that the Dutch were loud, ill mannered, obnoxious, wining and complaining travelling-idiots........

You Brits have us beat at our "own" game...

But seriously though...
What ever anyone says, neither the Aussies, the Brits nor the Dutch can brew a decent beer.
For that you really have to go to my southern neighbours for a fine, stark beer that your tatstebuds can feast on or to my eastern neighbours for a refreshing, clear, uplifting real-man's beer...


The Belgians and Germans resp.



and one for everybody



cheers y'all!!

Two things I liked about this.

One: "Another woman wrote in to complain that her plane journey was a disappointment because the sky was far too cloudy, impeding the view for her and her children and spoiling their game of eye-spy." Now, unless they were flying over on a Dragon Rapide and taking three weeks to do it, how high up would that aircraft have been? "I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with ... C!"

Two: the comments. Much more sensible and measured than they would have been if, say, the Mail had published an equivalent story about tourists in the UK.

Ron - if you can't find a decent beer in Britain, you ent looking hard enough.
