British tourists are polite, friendly and considerate. But ply them with a few drinks and they’ll be running naked through the streets in no time. Some have perfected the inebriated hotel-balcony-to-pool jump, while others could pick a fight with their own shadow.

The mayor of Croatian resort island Hvar, fed up with loutish British tourists, last week announced fines of €700 (HK$6,200, US$800) for those caught drinking alco­hol in public. Also this month, Portuguese police fired shots in the air to quell rioting British clubbers. The next headline-grabbing episode of debauchery is only an all-you-can-drink sangria session away.

While the more boisterous Brits tend to be teenagers, they’re not alone in giving the country a bad name. A food poisoning scam that involves claiming compensation from hotels for bogus illnesses has reached epidemic proportions in Spain and other European countries.

One couple, who allegedly suffered stomach cramps and severe diarrhoea, were rumbled when it was discovered they had enjoyed 109 alcoholic drinks during their holiday.

...Naš narod je zlatan...

Moj utisak od ovog ljeta je da su Rusi ubjedljivo najveća stoka.

Pored njih najviše bilo Švaba. Za njih jedna riječ - gospoda.
