ITV now - thalaraki documentary

Programme on ITV now about night life in thalaraki... what a bunch of yobs!

No wonder the Brits have a reputation for being alcohol fuelled idiots.

I can appreciate having a good time, but to invade a town and act like that.. not exactly the embassadors we require is it?

:roll:

Discuss....

same anywhere brits go en masse i'm afraid.. i wonder if the relaxation of licensing laws was intended to target this group.. i don't know what you can do about it as it's deeply engrained into our yob culture that is prevalent today

Having visited a number of resorts like this, it's not just us Brits; we just go there in greater numbers. Oh, and it's also not very interesting UK TV for the media companies to make programs about a bunch of foreigners who don't speak English :wink:

Whoops.. yeah i meant Faliraki...

It was late, i was tired. :oops:

It may not be just the Brits, but i think that cos we do go there, like you say, in larger numbers than most, its us that the reputation gets given too.

You dont really hear of the Germans* or Spanish or French being tarnished as drink swilling lager louts. Its only the Brits.

*ok, so the Germans are infamous for stealing sunbeds. :lol:

As for the french, they wouldn't know how to have a good time if it jumped up and bit them on the ass!
:lol:

Disagree with you on that one RubberDuck. Yes we visit in greater numbers but we're worse than the others by a long way. There are resorts that are focused on the German or French tourists, and you don't get the same level of drunken idiots fighting / throwing up / damaging property/ mooning / flashing boobs (not too concerned about the last one though :P )

It's just a reflection of the binge drinking culture we have over here, only worse cos they're 'off the leash' for a couple of weeks.

Thats my £0.02 worth anyway.
