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

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.

Something similar is going round here in the U.K about Brits in Spain, so I am presuming it is all a joke - ha ha!

One couple apparently complained about being offered alcohol in their all inclusive hotel and blamed the company for their resulting pregnancy!

Many a true word spoken in jest

 

We met another family on an all inclusive holiday in Crete, they complained that the food was greek!!!! They travelled into town everyday to get their daily fix of McD's. We however loved the greek food, which funny enough was one of the reasons we chose to go there.

 

It was too hot though :biglaugh:
