Currently on holiday, it’s the Germans making all the noise

They seem to be a good natured bunch, but there are groups of them taking over areas of the pool/hotel with their noise. It seems unfair that the British get the blame for holiday disruption? All the brits here at the moment are reading their books/kindles round the pool!

Head down the strip around 1 am and then tell us who's the roudiest bunch. All the brits by the pool are probably too hung over to be making noise 🙄

This is bizarre. You're not even there and you've already decided what the horrible Brits must be doing. That is the very definition of prejudice.

How do you know they are Germans? As opposed to Austrians, Swiss, Belgians, North Italians, Luxembourgers, French (Alsacians) etc?

Germans regularly turn up on the ‘worst tourists’ lists. As do Russians, Americans, Italians and indeed the Brits.

I lived in Luxembourg for a while. And I can honestly say that stereotypes are so pointless.

The only difference in behaviour that I ever noticed was that the Brits drink quicker. Whereas everyone else, drink slowly while chatting or eating a meal.

Everyone ends up shit faced in the end. 😆

Everyone has a good time....

Great, now I'll be on the lookout for German lesbians ruining my next holiday! Thanks PP 😂

(I speak German, French, Dutch and other sub German languages like Luxembourgish! So I'll notice!)
