You may recall reports of some of the downright bizarre complaints made by British holiday makers to their holiday reps. These include a complaint from a woman about the fish in the sea startling her children and another who blamed the hotel for her pregnancy after she and her partner had been provided with a double bed instead of two singles.
It looks like Brits abroad just can’t stop complaining. Holiday representatives in Benidorm have reported receiving a constant stream of complaints from British tourists many of whom appeared to be unhappy that they were abroad.
One older, retired man complained that the ‘Spaniards are everywhere you go, you just can’t get away from them’.Even after he’d been reminded of the fact that he was in Spain he moaned on saying that the least they could do was speak English.
There was even a complaint that all the road signs were in Spanish and others who complained that all the restaurant menus were in Spanish.
Food and drink are a constant sources of unhappiness amongst British tourists. One person memorably complained that the seafood platter was ‘too fishy’ and another complained that the Sangria was too strong and had led to him chatting up a fellow hotel guest, upsetting his wife.
The sun and heat are another source of constant moans and grumbles. Lots of British holiday makers appear to think that its the tour companies responsibility to ensure that they use sunblock. Holiday reps are often faced with complaints from people who have let themselves become burned on their first day in the hot Spanish sun.
But one holiday maker complained that the sun rose too early in Spain and another grumbled that the sunlight was too bright and it hurt her children’s eyes.
And one lady complained that the swimwear worn by fellow female holiday makers was too revealing and that her husband had done nothing but stare at women ever since they’d arrived.
So what is the strangest holiday complaint you’ve heard?
