Glad to hear the the hacks behaved - can't have been that many Brits among 'em is all I can say.
I spent years doing the fireman bit, heading off to strange towns in strange countries at the drop of a hat, and I have to admit that the behaviour of the British press pack leaves much tobe desired - usually pissed, generally obsreperous, bloody arrogant and convinced that the local law of the land doesn't apply to visiting hacks. I cringe when I think of some of the pleasant restaurants that have been boorishly disrupted by the guys who like to term themselves "Her Majesty's Press".
The broadcast guys are better behaved (with the BBC they get no chance to do otherwise, because auntie works her crew like galley slaves), but the mid-market and tabloid hacks are dreadful!
