I live in the South West of england and grew up in a tourist town.

The worst tourists by far are the people who come to visit devon and cornwall in their nice shiny cars, and cant reverse for watermelon when you come face to face with them in your car in the single track lanes we have.

Its really annoying when you have to reverse 1/4 mile to a passing place just cos some tard couldn't reverse back 20 feet to the space behind him

and caravan drivers in the lanes, shhish:rolleyes:

Years ago I read about english youngsters on the Canarie Islands. Boozing to the max for one or two weeks.

Wearing t-shirts saying in front "You hate us" and rear "and we don't care" .

I demand a recount! We Americans have got to be the worst. I know I'm doing my part.

It also depends on how many people from a country are going on holiday each year, in absoulte numbers. A few visitors from Liechtenstein will probably not create high overall rudeness scores, while onehundredthousand visitors from one country representing more than 50% of all visitors to a certain place are going to be very high on the rudeness list when interviews take place there.

So you're telling me that in the Carib. there are more German and Brit tourists, and that's why they scored higher? You've obviously never been.

What does a single anecdote have to do with an average number? Go learn something about statistics.

Statistics is my life. You're the one that brought up a rediculous inference. Just because the truth hurts.......
