Subject: RE: BS: Local ideas of etiquette / politeness
Unfortunately in the past Britain had got a bad reputation when travelling abroad for being lager louts, loud, aggressive and bad mannered and I must admit there are still a few from time to time that have me cringing with embarrassment. Some think just because they are on holiday abroad it entitles them to start drinking from 7.00am in the morning, more so in an all inclusive type holiday. They don't seem to understand that their livers aren't going to know that they are on holiday, so it's ok.
The general impoliteness of some Brits sometimes makes me want to be in denial of where I come from.
