    I go away next week for a few months and have 4 annual waterpark passes for Disney. They run out September 13th 2010.

    2 x adult
    2 x children

    If anyone wants them PM me, first to do so gets them. I don't want anything for them since we aren't back in the US until Jan 2011 and so will just stick them in the post for whoever.

    Not fingerprinted.

    I thought your last post was your last past?

    Look at most international polls of the 'worst tourists' you will most likely see the British at or near the top.
    Many British like myself avoid common areas for the type of tourists I refer to, Benidorm, Tenerife, Manorca etc... But thanks to cheap flights the viral spread of British chav tourists has now spread globally.
    Chav untouched places include:

    Far East (except for some places in Thailand mainly Phuket)
    India (not Goa)
    Russia
    The Stans
    The USA (except Vegas, NYC and Florida)
    Europe - All the places that EZY, Ryanair, Thomas Cook, Monarch and Thomson don't fly to.
    Central America (except Yucatan Peninsula)
    South America

    Read back. I gave an opinion on all the mouthy Brits who just have to let everyone know they are British.

    I wrote this about a year ago on my blog:

    Anyway back to Orlando, when I first started to go it was a place reserved for families who had good mannered children and who were genuinely friendly people. Now it seems Florida is the new Benidorm, the place is littered with Chavs all trying to show off who has the largest fake gold necklace from Argos, or who can let everyone know just how English they are. Football shirts are a common sight as are morons in Union Jack shorts who shout in their common and crass accent about how ‘!!!!!!’ a particular thing is. Or how “I’m not paying that” – For these people finding a price they are unwilling to pay or something they do not like is a huge obstacle in their lives. Where most people would simply say “no thanks” and walk away, these idiot’s stand and argue as loud as possible how ridiculous it is. They stand out a mile and they love it. In the UK they no doubt sit and read the Sun and from their armchair put the country to rights proclaiming how much the UK has gone down the pan. Yet in Florida there is no one prouder to be British and more willing to let everyone know, they think they are the first Britons to ever travel and they assume that because they have had to save up for the past decade that they are immune to any law. Simply the British consulate will wade in and make a few excuses and they will be on their way.

    My opinion hasn't changed.

    i may wear a football shirt from time to time but i certainly do not stand and argue in public,i did and do not complain about how expensive things may be and nor do i cause any embarrassment to my family nor myself by swearing loudly in public.what sort of example would i be setting to my 2 year old daughter by doing that?
    i am also not a sun reader although i will admit to thinking our country has gone downhill under blair/brown and co but does having an opinion mean you are then a chav?i certainly do not have to save up for a decade to go on holiday i have been to numerous places,vegas,san fran,hawaii,barbados,cancun,nyc,orlando,plus many greek and spanish islands i have never saved for a decade to pay i normally settle in full when booking.but in your sterotypical world that means i am not a chav yet you say i am because i wear football shirts.
    and just to clear another point up i was not saying i would fight over a comment on a forum,the point i was trying to make is some people write whatever they want when on a computer yet i seriously doubt people like you would be as forthcoming with opinions in person.

    evryone is entitled to an opinion however majority of your posts are more than an opinion they are wrote to provoke people,i go back to my previous post and say i doubt you are so opinionated in person.

    Whilst I am not Mr Laheys biggest fan, and am not a hatred of all things british, I do not like football shirts as it does smack of a look at me attitude and there are a hell of a lot of chavs wear them on holiday, I prefer to try and blend in with the locals.

    There was a family on the way out who let their kids run up and down up and down the plane, when other peoples kids were behaving the dad wore a football shirt and the child was clad in the entire hideous green kit (socks shorts the shirt) and when they were on the transfer bus were pointing out to each other the english pub and KFC whilst not sat together.

    I am not saying all but there are a lot of Brits who are damm embarrasing when you go to places and I see why Mr Lahey does not want to be associated with them, I sopke to very few Brits on holiday and thats how it should be.
