What is it about sunbeds?

[GB9]

What is it about sunbeds around the pool that make possible sensible adults behave like knobs?

We are in a really expensive international hotel in Barnsley (some people are paying £6 per night) and despite the 'no reserving beds' rule, lots of people are.

All nationalities guilty. Including ours unfortunately. Not very British.

I think it just escalates. A bit of silliness can't be allowed so you have to go one better. Someone takes your book and towel of your lounger while you are at the other side of the pool having a sarnie. Do you leave it there? Hell no, as soon as they are out of sight you go back, throw all their crap in the pool and then sit back on your lounger. After retrieving his stuff from the pool the initial aggressor must respond and so on.... It's a territory thing innit.

My brother and his mates went one better. They realised the towels went out at around 3AM, on all the loungers by the pool.

The next day around a hundred and fifty towels were found mysteriously floating in the pool

You need a better class of hotel... Don't have that issue in the hotels we are heading to in September or February....

Basically you get what you pay for and if you only spend what the riff-raff can afford you get riff-raff..

WHS. but it also happens at posh places as well . Which is why we hire a Cabana with champers and private bar.

I'm guessing Villas are quite cheap in Barnsley.
