Well, I went on holiday to Gran Canaria, by booking through a Danish travel agent. There I am in the supermarket and I overhear (in translation): "What do you reckon to that: a darkie! I thought this was a Danish holiday resort."

That's odd because I find McDonalds unpalatable, if that were the only option i think I'd starve too

I had much the same problem when I toured Thailand/Malasia. Apart from MacDonald visits, etc I went mostly hungry. I lost half a stone and could do one arm-pullups. But when I got to Singapore I ordered a big steak, which I soon discovered it was spicy too and unpalatable. I am more tolerant of ponced-up/ruined food now than I used to be though.Originally posted by DaveB View Postthe unwashed masses show just how dumb they are.

The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"

I was in McDonalds in Calais, behind a chap who asked the girl if there was vinegar for his fries? What's that about? You don't even get it in McDonalds in the UK?

"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

When I went to Goa I was disgusted at the curry too - its not a patch as to what you can get in a curry house in the UK - far too watery and cocconuts served with everything.
Not curry at all.
Why doesnt the Government do something !!????!!!
