Two words, Chavs and Magaluf, even typing them sends shivers down my spine.

Along with every other Chav resort in Spain and Greece!

In the article it states the Island of Faliraki? Shouldn't it be the Island of Rhodes, resort of Faliraki? We drove through it on the way to Rhodes town, it is awful! [:$]

It is a shame that the small minority that spoils it for everyone else!

I don't see it, at least not here in Vegas, for the most part the British are pretty well behaved, sure they are here to have fun, but they don't become rude or demanding like others.

The only complaint I get from my employee's is about the tipping, where there are two extremes, either the British don't tip or they are very generous, of course my employee's love the generous ones.

That probably comes from not knowing how. Either we forget, or over-compensate just to make sure ;)
