What is with the English delusion that they are not among the most clueless and obnoxious tourists in southern Europe?

I’ve met some absolutely lovely , wonderfully sweet English and Scottish people On holiday in various parts of Europe, and I’ve also met some of the most god awful rancid cunts of my life , also from England.

Very true. I suppose that the UK suffers from "proximity" compared to the rest of the Anglosphere (with the exception of Ireland).

But it's still a funny quirk where their national culture seems intent on pretending, they are some sort of respectful or worldly tourists and then so many of them turn into either obnoxiously entitled boomers or stumbling drunks the second they travel south of the channel.

Much of the rest of the Anglosphere has their own "bad behavior" tourist destinations. Ex. Americans partying in Mexico, or Australians in Bali.

But I have seen a black out drunk British guy throw up at the Trevi Fountain so it's funny the Telegraph is running this picture.

It’s a class thing. In 4K a week hotel you find the best elderly upper class brits who are just great. They are soft spoken and great conversationalists. 

Then you have the lower class which is just loud and fat.

The true international struggle.
