  • I have never actually been on a bad holiday. But I tend to avoid places where British people go en masse!

    British tourists are the most ignorant arrogant tourists i have ever come across. Im sure some still think we are a huge empire and they have rights over whatever country they decide to go to.

    Worst overseas - Never been there but I can't think of anything worse than having to go to that Disney with guns called America.

    I don't even know what to say to that... I think you need to get out more.

    Strangely enough I do agree with you Sturll! Any place that is run over with drunk brits sounds like my sort of nightmare! 18 -30 holidays sound like my sort of nightmare, but than that is my opinion and I understand others may like it. That said I would visit Amsterdam, etc as it has history.

    I have never been on a bad holiday either.

    Just don't go to places like Amsterdam, Prague or Riga over the weekend when the hideous drunken twenty-something chavesque 'stags' descend for their two days of binge drinking and generally being British.

    Best - Cairo - fantastic city, superb people, opening the curtains to see the Pyramids

    Worst - Paris - unsurprisingly full of French, so dirty, rude and arrogant.

    Go in August, the parisiens are all on holiday. (well, not quite all of them obviously!)
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    Nope, I wouldn't go over the weekend, I tend to have weekday breaks (cheaper too)
