Socks and sandals and hankies tied around foreheads -
just some of the stereotypes associated with Brits abroad. But it seems that UK
tourists often agree with these commonly held perceptions.
A new poll from ABTA shows that more than one in eight
Brits accepts that their countrymen and women dress badly on holiday.
Nearly a third think their compatriots are rude when
they’re abroad - and more than a quarter believe that Brits can be rowdy when
they are drunk.
But it seems that Brits believe the most accurate
stereotype is the tourist who refuses to learn the local language. Just under
two-thirds of the travellers polled said that Brits really did speak English to
all of the locals.
