The "massive influx" of UK stag and hen parties to Prague has made the Czech Republic a hotspot for British travellers in trouble, figures suggest.

A total of 13.8m British travellers visited Spain in 2005/06. During that time the country had the highest number of deaths (1,325)

Wow, I would avoid travelling to Spain if I were British.

Concerning the official ‘British Behaviour Abroad Report’ (web site of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office):

By the way, I wonder when the Muslim countries will launch their first ‘Muslim Behavior Abroad Report’.

I’ve seen the traveling Brit crazies (they fly in packs) in Prague, Tallinn and Paris. They are best avoided, especially late in the evening: loud, drunk aggressive and they’ll pick a fight over nothing.

They go to Krakow and urinate in their empty beer mugs and leave them for the wait staff to deal with when they leave.

They also sometimes wear kilts, and flash women wherever they go.

My God! Such evilness! We’re worse than the jihadis! :)

It’s instict I’m afraid - historically Brits are used to being abroad to conquer foreign countries and it’s hard to change that mindest when they visit euroweenie countries for a p1ss-up! ;-)

There were a group of Americans in Birmingham (UK) city centre last night. Courteous, deferential, a credit to your country. Sorry to hear about the behaviour of our thugs over on the continent

Oh I know. My countrymen go mad on these occasions. Very very dangerous and a disgrace to boot.

- Isn’t The UK a ‘euroweenie’-country?

I visited Prague in the spring of 2006. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences in my life. It is the free-est place I’ve ever seen.

“.........They are best avoided, especially late in the evening: loud, drunk aggressive and they’ll pick a fight over nothing.”

There’s an old Brit saying “is this a private fight, or can I join in!”

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

That one gave me a big grin. I recall seeing a band of roving Brits in Prague when I was there several years ago. They were certainly drunk, but they seemed to keep to themselves. Of course, it was probably only 9pm at that point!
