Foreign Office report reveals bad behaviour of Brits abroad

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/artic ... broad.html


	Quote: A new FCO report on the behaviour of Britons on holiday has revealed that thousands of tourists were arrested or forced to seek hospital treatment last year, often because they had consumed too much alcohol. The report, which looked at incidents involving British tourists between April 2009 and March 2010, found that around six thousands travellers lost their lives while abroad. Drink, drugs and road traffic accidents were among the primary reasons for the deaths.

That is quite a death toll but is it statistically significant?

Quite frankly, the sooner most of them are out of the gene pool the better.

Yes but there was no break down by age. There could be a sizeable number of elderly in these figures. Many have homes abroad and may be included in these figures. Unfortunately they will already have done the damage re perpetuating their gene line.

Around 3000 a year die on UK roads.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I've just figured out how we can sort out our prisons and re-offending problems. We give the [LIFTED] a cheap flight and £150 for the above :twisted:

Somebody get me Michael O'Leary on the phone :lol:

So will we get adverts telling us not to drink and holiday or text and holiday?
