   It is only a small minority that spoil the image of uk whilst they are abroad , I think that the ony way to stop them is for them to lose their passports for a time and banned from going abroad , if they do it again increase the ban , this should apply to football supporters and tourists alike

   I've lived here on the eastern Algarve for 3 years now - thankfully in a quiet town which does not attract the 'Club 18-30 crowd'. However, travel along the coast to Albufeira and they're all there - the shrieking ladettes in the pink cowboy hats on a serious, drunken shagathon, the spotty, lobster-red and totally pissed youths in the union jack shorts, puking up on every street corner. Makes you proud... Why do they do it? Perhaps because that's exactly how they behave at home anyway. At weekends many of our town centres in the uk are like wild west cow-towns on pay night. Thats partly why I left to settle here. The Portuguese on the other hand don't have a binge-drinking culture. Its quite common to see 4 or 5 generations of a family all out together for a meal and a drink - just quietly enjoying themselves. The family is alive and well out here, and drunkenness is seen as something immature and shameful that brings discredit to all your relatives. There are drunks of course, but they tend to be down and outs and beggars. As for Brits being worse than other nationalities - yes, I'm afraid they're in a class of their own. Sadly its not just youngsters, either. one of the worst experiences I've had was with a bunch of middle-aged men on a so-called golfing holiday. Loud-mouthed foul language, lewd behaviour . Just obnoxious drunks. Pathetic. Why people seem to equate having fun with getting totally incapable through drink I have no idea.

   Re Rutilus comment. How sad is that? I would have hoped that the older generation of expats had been brought up differently. Is it any wonder then that we are so reviled by other nationalities?

   loud,brash,drunken,rude and pig ignorant and thats just the pensioners.seriously while living for a couple of years on a spanish costa, i was amazed at the rudness of the ex-pat comunity .people who had lived there for 10 years or more not only could speak no spanish but were astounded to have it suggested to them that maybe they should.the attitude was let the ba****ds learn english.now what would we righltly think of immigrants here refusing to learn english?

   the bad behavior of most Brits is due to the lack of disipliine in the home and at schools, parents are not allowed to smack school teachers are not allowed to chastise so what is the result, children who can do what they wish and get away without any punishment with no respect for anyone or anything no matter where they are, one can see the result wherever you are living
