Do teenage Brits who go binge drinking abroad shame Britain or is it just harmless fun?

Danyl on X Factor

toni b1 — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:29:44 GMT

Like most of the nation I was absolutely incensed by the treatment of Danyl by all judges on last nights show. Simon was right, they should stop their bitching and at least he will not tolerate this behaviour. Danyl's performance was truly outstanding - for Danni to resort to the gay inference was a cheap shot. I have never posted a comment like this before but felt so angry that I registered specifically. Disgraceful !

brits binge drinking abroad

18 carat — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:34:56 GMT

everyone is an ambassador of their country.

english travellers are known as 'drunken louts' this includes women the airports allow drinking,the flights offer drink so when you arrive your probably drunk

..the germans on holiday take up any poolside space available with their towels harmless but annoying

,the italians pinch bottoms,also harmless!

why do we english behave in such a disgusting way abroad.how do you have a good vacation if your constantly drunk,

the transmission of sexual disease must be of high importance,and hard to control.the authorities must take these louts in hand as they would at home

,the police abroad have also been a party to this behaviour,by allowing it to go on for so long.

how can someone drunk, unable to defend themselves in any circumstance be thought to be harmless fun.

your home now.you show signs of

assault,you have an std, and pregnant

'They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.

I can't even talk the way these people talk:

Why you ain't,

Where you is,

What he drive,

Where he stay,

Where he work,

Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these Idiots. You can't be a doctor with that kind of rubbish coming out of your mouth In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.

These people are not parenting.

They are buying things for kids. £500 sneakers for what?

And they won't spend £200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2?

Where were you when he was 12?

Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?

And where is the father? Or who is his father?

People putting their clothes on backward: Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body? What part of Africa did this come from?? We are not Africans.

Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa ..... I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid. I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents.

I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa .

So stop, already! ! !

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap ......... and all of them are in jail. Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighbourhood/estates back. People used to be ashamed.

Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs.

They, as black folks have to do a better job.

Someone working at Tesco’s with seven kids, you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other to a higher standard. We cannot blame the white people any longer.'

Teenagers

haydenchittell — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:37:23 GMT

Its a shame nowadays, as to how Britain's teenage population is being portrayed... there doesn't ever seem to be any positive comments about teenagers in the papers - and if there is, its to tell you how well they have done in their gcse's or alevels.

Binge drinking, street violence, knife crime, car thefts, gang attacks, shop thefts, drugs and particularly teenagers abroad, are headlines seen quite often in the summer - they become hot within the media and the positive aspects that come with being a teenager are forgotten..

People tend to forget that, yes, there are things wrong with the teenagers of today - all of them act like robots and do not seem to care, they don't feel for other people... but then there are those teenagers that make Britain and fellow countries the way we are today.

Teenagers do infact help todays soceity...

Music is based entirely around the likes and dislikes of teenagers. "Popstars" base their lyrics and genre of music upon the type of teenager that were to listen to it. If there were no teenagers in today's soceity of if e v e r y teenager was exactly the same, then so would be music. Music is a gift - to be able to sing or play an instrument is something so incredible and then, England as a nation, is so lucky to have choice in the type of music they listen too - the variety because everyone is different.

As well as this, theres the culture that is bought to countries thanks to teenagers - more and more people travel and introduce new types of foods, new ways of life and this develops a nation.

Fashion is very important in todays day and age, designers base their designs on what they believe teenagers WILL like.. teenagers are needed to have an opinion on the type of clothing that is being made. And the lucky thing is? There is so much of a variety to choose from. There is a variety in teenagers for a variety of clothing.

Unlike the older days teenagers now have a voice, they are no longer "seen and not heard." Even if your child acts like he/she is the hard guy on the block; when interacting with people they ensure that their parents usually receive compliments like "your son/daughter is ever so polite, you must be very proud.' It makes a parent exteremely proud when they hear this. Even if your child is the local drug dealer.

Only yesterday I was walking down the high street to see one of the local "knife-carrying thugs" on the other side of the road. At the same time an elderly man dropped all of his shopping over the pavement - and do you know what i saw? I saw the so-called 'thug' bend down and help the man up along with his shopping. No, tricks either - every piece of shopping was placed back in the bag, as was his wallet.

So, yes there are teenagers like the ones the public eye view every day... but then there are those teenagers that soceity forget about, the ones who make a difference.. and even better the ones that the public eye do view, do infact have a heart - you've just gotta dig deep to find it

FOR FUN

jneen1976 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:16:29 GMT

Of course they do it to have fun. I would e a hypocrit to say otherwise! I had so much fun on holidays especially when I was away with my sister on our 1st holiday alone without parents at the age of 16. We never harmed anyone, drinking was a great way to socialise, and meet new people. I also enjoyed holidays with my family I must add! Take care everyone and have fun, life is for that surely! It is of course a different world when we have a drink. Just be yourself and have fun!!

burkinis rule ok. what an outrage to brits.

kendra1 — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:38:26 GMT

just when i was applauding the french prime minister for agreeing that a "muslim convert" cannot enter a local swimmimg pool in a " full burkini" i was outraged to read that a british swimming pool has ruled that during the "muslim period " of using the council run pool any brits must adhere to this rule and either wear the burkini or not use the pool..? what on earth is going on when people who decide to come here, we didnt invite them.. expect us to change our long held traditions, expect us to adhere to what they want.. to have the belief that we should change so as not to offend them defies belief... can anyone imagine going to any country in the world and demanding that they change life long traditions and beliefs because they are offended...not a fecking prayer... no wonder more people are looking at the alternative voting options, i for one will vote for anyone that can sort out this mess..... the government and all the illegals and parasites should be shipped out to ???? Russia maybe....as if.

Hayden Chittell - teenager reviews binge drinking.

haydenchittell — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:13:07 GMT

Im a teenager from Britain and am about to go abroad this weekend. I'm eighteen years old so want to have a typical "lads" holiday including lots and lots of booze.

However, unlike the typical Brits who go and binge drink, at least there are some of us who still maintain the respect one should have in a foreign environment. That doesn't just include abroad - I include areas like Newquay in this.

Look at Newquay for example: Used to be a typical Seaside resort, full of friendly neighbours and families going down there to visit the lovely coastal beaches and the enjoyable environnment one finds themself in when walking through the town.
Having visited Newquay from when I was very small I have seen the town develop and grow. I have enjoyed making friends with the locals and making myself familiar with many of the shops, beaches and bars and pubs. Newquay is renownd for its famous nightlife - but why do the teenager brits have to exploit this?

When i visit Newquay now, i still get to see the shops, people and town - but its hidden among other things. Its hidden among what Newquay has become - and what it is becoming..

Visit Newquay now and you get a chance to try and dodge the vomit from people in bars and clubs - as it hits floors, roads, alley ways and walls. You might even get the chance to have a picture with someone throwing up on their best mate.
As well as this, its very educational.. One gets a better insight on the life of a same sex couple, underage sex, and well just plain sex in any possible place you can imagine.
If you're one of the lucky people who have visited the town you may even be given the chance to be involved in one of Newquays famous 'Fist Fights.' Free broken nose, for each new member.
Oh and if you want a chance to escape.. fill up on booze, walk to the edge of a cliff and throw yourself off..

Malia, Mallorca, Zante, Magaluf, Ibiza and many more all follow the same trend - in one way or another. So why should Newquay be blamed. Or Malila, mallorca or Zante. Surely its the people that are going to these places. If the people no longer visited them - then it would not be happening, right?

Teenagers who binge drink are no longer at 'home,' they have had a chance to escape and let their hair down, and why shouldn't they?

So when I go on holiday this Friday - i'm going to bare this in mind.

Yeah I'll "let my hair down", go a bit wild and crazy but i'll also respect the place

or it wont respect you.

Teenage Bindge Drinking!

just dance : ) — Wed, 13 May 2009 10:27:19 GMT

Well teenagers drinking abroud is harmless if im honest, The amount of us teenagers that drink on the streets of this country it bad really. I have drank on the streets before yes its not the best way to do it but i was only once caught and police took my alcohol away. If you drink abroad then your just having a bit of fun and enjoy a drink nobody in the country you are in knows your from the UK, so theres no need for people to worry.! If your going on holiday make sure your allowed to drink at the place for example if you visit Runde in Norway nobody is allowed to drink unless its in a pub and then you cant drink enough to get drunk so thats a bye to that idea of Runde, lol. Basically everyone likes a drink maybe we should do it behind closed doors or in parks if your underaged.

Brits Binge Drinking abroad.

betbrum — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 20:53:26 GMT

Yes teenage Brits drinking abroad do shame Britain, i find it most distateful and so unneccessary, i used to think British people were very courteous and polite, but the upcoming generation have appauling manners and are in desperate need of guidance.

teenage brits

gemsets — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 00:37:28 GMT

I have worked in Europe for some years and I feel ashamed when I come into contact with binge drinkers, or come to that any loutish behaviour, after all, we are ambassador's for our country, do we really want people to think that we are a race of louts. It might fun for a few at the time, but others would like to holiday or work with these people, and not feel we have to keep apologizing for the behaviour of the few.

Window Stickers

Ann1962 — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:01:23 GMT

I bought some butterfly window stickers to prevent birds flying into the conservatory windows from a company in the West Country a few years ago. I am unable to find the company details and wondered if anyone knows of this company. They make their own window stickers including fairies, dolphins and butterflies.

Many thanks

Malia

ajwest84 — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:55:48 GMT

I have been to Malia each summer for the past two years and I dont agree with how you are portraying this young holiday destination. On both occassions I have never seen the examples that you have put on your show. If i'm honest I think you should concentrate more on the problem with binge drinking and stabbings in the UK then what goes on abroad.

Also I'm intrigued to know what an earth a 16 year old was part of your feature of Malia tonight - what was going through his parents minds letting him go abroad to a destination that is for mainly 18-30 year olds??
