Germans Avoid British Tourists
After a British tourist won compensation on discovering that his holiday hotel was full of Germans, the Fatherland's media has retaliated with a guide on avoiding English tourists in the Mediterranean.
David Barnish complained that the staff in the Greek hotel where he had booked his holiday spoke only German, while TVs were tuned to German language channels.
His travel company paid him £750 (€950) to sooth his hurt feelings. The Germans, however, were stung too. “Dear Tommies, you don’t want to go on holiday with us? No problem – we will play football without you this summer", said Bild (reported in the Times) as the Brits and the Germans crossed swords once again for the annual "Battle of the Beachtowels."
