A grown man on holiday with his parents throw a full on tantrum because thee pirate boat we were on didn't have WiFi.

And a really fat lass think she can pull off a bikini (that was me

They're often a nightmare, and it can be tiresome when you're answering for them for no good reason other than living on the mainland.

Sad to say, but Brits do seem to be one of the worst of the trouble-making tourist groups. I really don't think we're as bad as the Russians though, they really do take obnoxiousness to new heights.

I don't envy that one bit. Not in that line of work but I've lived on the mainland most of my life and get a fair bit of, "Why do they do that?" just because I'm English. Like it would make me any the wiser.

That’s why I would rather go somewhere quieter and further away. At least you get a better class of tantrum

It depends where you go I guess, rowdy resorts like Ibiza etc, I don’t think we do ourselves proud at all, and behaviour can be cringeworthy.

But that’s not representative of all of us, I was in the States much earlier this year and all the Brits I encountered were very civilised!

Resort destinations are a different ball-game. All bets are off in most of them no matter where you've come from.

General city living is a different kettle of fish.

Tunisia & Morocco the French are cunts. Don’t go to a hotel full of the French. I had nothing against the French until I stayed in a mainly French all inclusive. I cannot over emphasise how cuntish the French are.

They jabber at you in French thinking you will understand, then when you tell them your English speaking they walk off slagging you off in French (I then revealed I knew the basic French insults) de merde toi.

They then d*unkenly approach you to jabber at you in French some more and act all suprised and horrified when you pour your drink over their head.

I try and avoid stereotypical Brits abroad and the places that they frequent. Why anyone would want to sit in a British themed pub drinking John Smiths whilst having a Sunday roast watching Emmerdale is beyond me. Just because it’s 30 degrees outside why do abroad what you do at home?

The Germans in Tunisia were the worse behaved. Doing the usual towel on sunbed, not using them until after lunch thing, giving meagre tips to the waiting staff and the teenage boys being rude.

Not terrible behaviour I know but not nice like we were

The reason I wouldn't go on holiday with my girl friends is they want to sit in bars and shop all day. I want to sunbathe and swim.

I generally only do 4 star Caribbean resorts- the height of bad behaviour seems to peak at a raised eyebrow and a subtle tut when the waitress doesn't bring a spoon with your afternoon tea.

One day we got a flurry of calls from different guests in one of the nicest hotels on the island saying one guest had been kicking off since his arrival, how the room was too small and the hotel wasnt good enough etc etc.. and how when he phoned the office asking for a room upgrade he was going on saying 'do you know who i am?' My colleague had no clue and not only upgraded his room she also upgraded his hotel...to a 5* star one in the german area..well away from anyone to bitch to (he was a C list celebrity called Bruce Jones, who at that time was an actor on Coronation street) we never heard a peep out of him for the rest of his holiday

Avoid British destinations like the plague!!! Brits get pissed and privileged like nobody else. "Nobody speaks English, this bus is late, the food is crap, it's not like this at home", stay at bloody home then!!

As for badly behaved sterotypes...it used to be Russians. Now I'd say it's the Chinese. Tend to travel in huge groups. Very loud, rude, dirty and have destroyed a couple of blissful moments when traveling to far flug places

Nothing compared to the English football fans in Spain a day or so before last night's game.

Such a show up. You get the usual 'police were heavy handed' stories that follow.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

Oh come on...

Do you honestly think us Brits are the only ones acting like total twunts while on holiday?

As previously stated, the French and Russians are really obnoxious, the Russians more so. They are a nation that has only just discovered freedom and wealth and act like petulant children.

The Dutch and Flemish have their fare share of arseholes as do the Germans.

Americans are no different to us Brits other than they cannot pronounce tomato properly.. They will still get lairy after a beer or two, or if you voice your opinions on Trump!

The Australians and Kiwis don't shy away from making an arse of themselves, I have just spent a week with a group of kiwis, unruly kids and even worse adults.

The Chinese have an annual national holiday around the first week of October, don't ever go to Asia then. They are a fucking nightmare! Loud All the time, obnoxious to anyone that isn't Chinese and disgusting habits to boot;spitting on the floor, emptying the contents of their noses in the pool or plants, no comprehension that a queue means you join the end.....

The Japanese, Malays, Vietnamese and Thai's on the other hand are very polite, well mannered and a pleasure to be with.

I guess it's not the nation itself but a minority of the nationality that are an embarrassment and it just happens that we are more perceptive to the actions of our own when away because we can pick up on the English accent and home into what they are doing.

I guess in conclusion the old saying that in every bunch of roses there is a prick applies to all nations.

The Russians are a pain in the arse while trying to queue for the ski lift, but keeping your pole spike at rib level, and not being afraid to use them, seems to keep the little buggers at bay and aware of the protcol of an orderly queue

Our arrogance. Our binge drinking idiotic culture. Brexit.

All these are the main reasons we are laughed arcane dispised throughout Europe.

We are sadly a nation of Sun reading binge drinking lead by commercialism.

To be fair I think the Russians are worst for poling their plates then not eating what they've got. Brits don't like any of the fodder on an all inclusive holiday.... They're always moaning about it

Meat in tomato based sauce, rice chips, not real bacon, not real beans.....
