UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]

Good to see someone holding his own corner.
However, and here comes the 'but', there are statistics produced by the travel industry, IATA maybe, which identify objective yearly trends regarding dishonesty, drinking, complaining and fighting.

I am in the tourist industry and so keep more than a casual interest in trends and you should be aware that Brits don't come out well at all.

The worst countries to deal with are the Irish for drunkeness and complaining, Russians can steal anything not actually locked down and the Brits have no idea about drinking. It used to be that a man would be proud of his ability to hold his liquor - something way beyond todays' larger louts.

Sorry, but that's the way it is!

Rubbish! I am well versed in the art of drinking.

Possibly, but not probably - and certainly not rubbish for far too many at all. As I said, Brits, more than Poles or any other nation seem to have lost their ability to hold their liquer and think it is cool to throw up in public places.

Until you come out of denial and start of face the problem, it won't be possible to fix it.

Save your nationalist tendencies for you next binge!

Right...so it is the rest of us who have the problem in objecting to larger louts drinking themselves silly and throwing up all over the shop at weekends.

Tch, and there I was thinking that people should be able to hold their drink.

It may be as you say, but if you think about it, the fact is that most people formed their opinions about Brits inability to drink outside - or do you think we saw people only throwing up at home?

Anyone pukeing in the street because he is drunk only demonstrates that he can't hold his drink - just another obnoxious little amateur who hasn't grown up.
