Default world's worst tourists

(Blackden) wrote in message om...
Brits were judged the least welcome tourists in an Expedia survey this
summer, but European stereotypes of the Ugly American tourist are
still common, and Israeli and Australian tourists are often said to
match the British for rudeness and drunken misbehaviour respectively.
Does anyone have any anecdotes relating to this? Who *are* the world's
worst tourists?



We don't bother much about dress and manners in England, because as a
nation we don't dress well and we've no manners.
