Sun too hot, drinks too strong: bizarre British tourist complaints

Oliver Smith

September 21, 2009 - 5:05PM

Hot weather, strong alcohol and melting ice cream were among the most bizarre complaints made by British holidaymakers this year, according to one online travel agent.

Upon arrival in Portugal, one British family told Sunshine.co.uk of their distress at the sunny weather and complained that they were too “hot and sweaty” in their holiday clothes.

One man told staff of his irritation at the number of holidaymakers who travelled with plain black suitcases, hindering his attempts to find his own plain black suitcase on the airport conveyor belt.

After discovering that the shampoo in her luggage had leaked during her flight, one woman bemoaned the fact that the hotel she was staying in provided complimentary toiletries, rendering the entire incident “very preventable”.

Another woman wrote in to complain that her plane journey was a disappointment because the sky was far too cloudy, impeding the view for her and her children and spoiling their game of eye-spy.

Following a trip to a local theme park, another woman wrote to the travel agent to complain that the Log Flume ride made her feet wet and the sun was so strong that her ice cream melted too quickly.

One couple criticised the excellent children's entertainment at their resort – so good, in fact, that their children didn't want to spend any time with their parents, while another couple claimed that the lunchtime cocktails at their resort were surprisingly strong, leaving them rather worse for wear during the afternoon.

“As much as we would like to guarantee that any problem will be dealt accordingly to prevent it from happening again, the weather, the alcohol being too strong, ice cream being too cold or planes flying too high are unfortunately completely out of our control,” said a spokesman for Sunshine.co.uk.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

Lamebait.

Whose baiting? I only use bait when I go fishing.

This is just funny considering how much you love to throw out the you're whining. Whining seems to be a cultural norm for some.

British tourists whining = me whining?

That is funny, but not in the way you probably think ;)

That's right I forgot that there is no such thing as cultural norms.

You're absolutely right suggesting that catching your hypocrisy and double standards out is funny; particularly when you claim this is whining. Wish I could use that one in court, "You're just whining Mr Prosecutor."

I think you left your rational mind at the door.

Being rational with some here went out the window years ago, after I realized I am attempting to have a discussion with people who actually believe rape, violence and murder is justifiable, when there is causation of course. Too bad that does not work as a legal defense either.

There are people who believe rape, violence and murder are justifiable?

Where are these bastards?

Take a good look into this and you will find your answer.
