I have ahd two reports of Virgin flights from MAN to FLA that are pretty grim...full of chavs taking their ill behaved brats to Disney..imagine it..locked in a metal tube with them all for all that time..

When we were in Florida last year some of the staff told us they can always spot a Brit as "the ones wearing football shirts and yelling at their kids" !

fiendishly

I went to Texas in 2006. Totally chav-free. We visited San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston and went to the beach in Galveston. It was awesome.

How about a trip to Iceland? That should keep everyone apart and therefore happy. If you're not a chav you'll no doubt head for the scenery and appreciate that the geysers aren't dodgey, if you are a chav you'll make for the nuggets and prawn rings!

Oh I hope not, we're going for xmas with Virgin and after paying £4k (not bad considering it's now £8k) hope it's mainly chav free. Went Premium Economy with them 2 yrs ago to Barbados and it was fab, but the prices were so much more this time had to book economy :rolleyes: we came back economy and it was really cramped maybe it was cos we had the nice seats going, still time to upgrade though !! :eek:

I think Florida is big enough for it not to be chav central.

Ljubjana in Slovenia is nice and chilled out, with a couple of good day trips.

I couldn't agree more - had a wonderful time there a few years ago and would love to go back. Didn't hear another British accent the whole time!

Luxembourg - very European, nice weather in summer, nice cafe type sitting out watching the world go by, but not very many Brit tourists.

Western Canada - Whistler is the nicest/coolest place I've been - hoping to go back there.

I resent the "Brits wear football shirts" on hols remark - normally it's only white and red tops we've seen:p- in Gibraltar we could tell it was a cruise ship full of 'em that had landed compared to say, Germans or Swedes - even the women had on their Ingerland tee shirts.:rotfl:

Yes! Go to Aubeterre- its a lovely little square with a couple of local bars and antique shops and a restaurant or two, it also has a beautiful church that actually sits in the cliffside. You wouldnt go there for more than a day (not enough to do) but in the Summer the locals build a man-made beach along the lake where people go to cool off- its great. Definately NO chavs there just french locals who are really friendly. :beer:

Also, Bordeaux there is a beautiful gothic castle with a restaurant in one of the wings- amazing food and even more amazing wine as you can imagine! I was lucky enough to be taken there for Valentine's day a couple of years ago, be sure to book though as you can never get in! I cant remember the name of it though! Damn! Will have a think about that and post it once I remember.

Oh and Poitiers airport isnt far who do bargain flights from London :jI remember flying for 1p!

Aubeterre is lovely, and my sister runs a creperie there You can also fly to Bergerac, Bordeaux and La Rochelle.
