    Perhaps. I will try being more clear and specific next time.

    Depends which way you take it. For example BMW costs more than a Lada... but are they the same quality? I wouldn't trust a car that costs less than a Lada to be just as good as a BMW.

    British Tourists Are the Lousiest Tourists in the World

    To be honest, the columnist used to be a co-worker o' mine, and I must say in total she is a really wannabe progressive hipster open minded/whatever journalist, when in reality most of her articles suck.

    To be fair, she does know how to spell and use the English language, this particular article is hilarious, and she does -unfortunately- make a few good points.

    Unfortunately this is absolutely TRUE.

    Havin worked in the tourism industry, with pretty much every European ethnicity, including Greeks, the British are by FAR the worst tourists, in every single aspect.

    They are dirty (Greeks are OCD-hygenic compared to them), they have NO limits, and the are RUDE (contrary to the ''Thanks,please'' belief).

    I read it quickly. She sounds like a snob and the writing style is o. Well I guess for someone that's not a native speaker it's pretty good.

    Well let's just not generalize to all Brits. This particular type of Brits (young, drunk and stoned) is like this. There's decent people who travel alone or with their families and don't come here to get shitfaced and engage in BJ competitions in local clubs

    Fortis, for example, was an exemplary guest here. He wanted me to take him to museums that I didn't even know that existed. If anything, he taught me a few things about Athens, too.

    Sure. But almost all of British tourists f.e. put money in their mouth (if they have their hands full) before they pay you.
    Almost all of British tourists will leave the place a mess, with spillen coffees, or tones of chips in the floor.
    Almost all of British tourists will just eat without washing their hands first.
    Yes, they might not be all of them those drunkers that get shitfaced, but compared to all the tourists we have, they are the worst.

    She is a snob, that's why I never liked her. She is also always exuding arrogance and smartassery in her articles. But her language skills, those I admire, especially her apt usage of slang, which I am entirely incapable of.

    Non-American/Canadian Anglos are the hardest to deal with... drunken actions of Brits, Aussies is so predictable.

    On the other hand, nothing is worse than Athenians coming to my beautiful Peloponessos and throwing their garbage out the window without thinking twice.
