Benidorm claps down on unruly Brits

[lancsdave]

I've never holidayed in any of the Spanish seaside resorts because of the reputation of the Brits, that reputation has been going on since I was young which is a long time ago, so it's nothing new. I went to Barcelona for a couple of days the year before last but it's the only time I've been to Spain.

We went for the first time last year & never ventured away from the old town.Full of nice restaurants,bars & shops,beaches were great & not too overcrowded.We'd heard what the new town was like & thought we might as well have gone to Blackpool if we wanted to drink Carling,watch Sky sports & eat english grub all week.We may step into the new town if we go again but i think people our age look for something a bit less hedonistic while abroad.

I think I know why Pete....A little knowledge is very misleading.
Anyone who thinks the Spanish are nasty and the French are the Bees Knees has got to be misguided or crackers.

Ah, salmon ... now you are talking .... BC, home of the best salmon in the world, the most beautiful scenery, the 2010 Winter Olympics ... and all that you have to do to become Canadian is to swear alliegance to our head of state, Queen Elizabeth ll

Of course, Quebec is the place for a good republican.
