Great Britain is a proud nation who’s has ruled sea, countries and continents; her people have reached out into every corner of the world and are extremely well travelled but how are we viewed upon in these pastures new?

Expedia underwent a survey to find out which European country has the best dressed tourist, surprising franch and germany were in the top three and us British well we actually rank last place! and were shamefully crowned “Europe worse Dressed Tourist”..

Being British myself I feel ashamed about this title although I can see in some respects why we’ve been slapped with it.

an utter sin which we British absolutely love is the killer combo sandals and socks’, yes hearing them two words in the same sentences also makes me shiver and cringe, but in tradition it’s our trademark attire which combines sensibility with comfort.

We always complain about the weather at home as it’s forever miserable and rarely sunny, forever raining and cold but when we eventually get to go abroad on sun Antigua holidaysor Dominican Republic holidays we mostly avoid the hot sun by caking ourselves in layers of sun cream which make us appear pink and blotchy like we have skin problems, or we do the total opposite and apply no cream at all and fry like a sausage until we’re lobster red, tight skinned and in complete agony! There’s no better away to compliment our hated style of dress.

Our Behaviour is ludicrous when we visit foreign countries, we spend our evenings boozing and running blood-red faced around local towns and cities in complete and let out riot before passing out drunk in the hotel room, waking up at mid day looking like death and head directly back out again for breakfast feeling as rough as toast, isn’t it appealing how class and culture just excludes from us aye, i hope your gallant to to British!
