I wrote an article on the Auto Europe blog about this. I know the evidence is compelling that British tourists can behave in an unforgiveable way abroad, but I can’t help feeling slightly defensive, especially as the survey revealed that we’re not only considered the rudest, but also the least attractive and worst dressed! Bit unfair. I agree with Darren that the destinations themselves must take part of the responsibility for encouraging the kind of drinking that leads to this embarrassing behaviour.

I was so impressed when about a year ago, a couple from England that I was drinking beers with in a bar in Bangkok, apologized for the behavior of a big number of Brits that come to Greece every year and told me that not all Brit tourists are like that! Which I didn’t think anyway.

And I’ve lived in the UK for a while and I’ve seen how kids are having (drunk) fun and they behave way worse in Greece. Of course I’m not talking about all the British tourists but just the ones that go to Spain, Greece etc just to party hard and be drunk 24/7 (nothing wrong with been drunk but there are some limits).

The Germans are the worst. They are really rude and ignorant. They go out of there way to annoy people.

I meant to say that I just read another article about Brits being rude travelers, NOT about Newcastle. Sorry!
