One wonders what they think of themselves then.

Re: Germans: Britons are Drunk, overweight and sunburnt
I think they actually mean the English ;)

Cannot argue with the newspaper in some cases that is just what we are...

The Bild is the German equivalent of the Sun - stereotypes sell newspapers....

Ah yes. The Welsh wandering hands. Another characteristically efficient observation from our German friends. ;)

Re: Germans: Britons are Drunk, overweight and sunburnt
The wife's just come back from 2 weeks in Rhodes staying at a hotel mostly occupied by Russians and Germans. She couldn't believe how noisy, arrogant and rude many of the Germans were, especially towards the local waiting staff and the E. European guests.
As for all this anti-English carp, given that English tourists tend to vastly outnumber the rest of those form the UK it's not too hard to see why they'd be more identifiable in the various resorts which suffer problems of drunken behaviour etc. I've come across plenty of drunken, obnoxious Scots, Irish and Welsh in my time so let's not pretend the English have the monopoly this sort of behaviour eh. |
Re: Germans: Britons are Drunk, overweight and sunburnt
The article specifies Britons rather than Englishmen.

Just been to Morocco/Agadir - Surprisingly the British were liked the most by the Hotel/Entertainment staff. The Russians were disliked the most as a Moroccan bar man called them pigs of the earth!.
There was a fair mixture of nationalities, mainly ignorant French, the Belgiums were ok.. as for the Germans arrogant must be in their make-up. |

Don't forget sunbed racers

Re: Germans: Britons are Drunk, overweight and sunburnt
Oh let's not deal in stereotypes. I've met lovely people of all nationalities and I've met some obnoxious ones too.
