minor things that make you fume

English people.
Now while I am not English myself I am not one of those people who inherently dislike the English, I do dislike a certain type of English person.
I am on holiday in Peurto Pollensa at the moment along with hundreds of very nice English people, we have met some lovely families. However today at the beach a crowd arrived, they were English and sounded Bristrol or south western. Firstly they arranged the sun beds so that they filled up the gaps between themselves and adjoining people. One of them was within 12 inches of me. Two or three of them sat about 30 yards away so that they had to shout to each other. They then opened a cool box, beers and ciders were passed around. One of the men stated that he had too much to drink the night before and wanted to keep himself right so was only going the drink cider.
At this point I said to Mrs Caolam that we needed to move but she was unusually more tolerant than myself and said to stay put.
One of them turned on the music on his phone and gave us the Eagles greatest hits, he frequently joined in. Following that we started on the Bee Gees, I thought that might tip Mrs Caolam over the edge but she said "No" it was too much trouble to go to the vendor of the sun beds to ask for a change. Then on of the women in the group asked if the beer was running through anyone else, a second woman yes and off they went for a piss in the sea were we were swimming. Mrs Caolam moved.
I know I am conversing with people who are generally English but there is a archetypical English person who is disliked throughout the world, today I met them.
Now while some may be moved to defend the indefensible by pointing out short comings in other races today was the last day of my holiday and I ran across the people from Shamless.
English people make me fume, or a certain type of Englisherson.

Nothing wrong with that, it's the English way mate.

I know exactly what you mean Caolam, it seems even more polarised that these arrogant individuals are generally from south of Watford Gap and don't give a flyind fig of the thoughts and feelings of those around them and know that because they are in large groups that there is little chance of anyone challenging there behaviour.
You're a little unlucky that this has happened at Puerto Pollensa as it is generally a nice resort occupied by decent folk but I guess on occasions you will get groups who will test your patience.

They were the only people we encountered that were any bother. We moved away from them as there was sun beds further along the beach. Mrs Caolam was reluctant to move, I think she felt slightly intimidated and thought they might have something to say.
Would recommend Peurto Pollensa to anyone, particularly if you are taking kids.
 

That advert for Sky Movies with the annoying brat yelling if "Star Wars, the Last Jedi - ARE YOU READY? Jumanji - ARE YOU GUYS READY?" gets on my tits.


Good job I don't pay for Sky, innit?


SCREW YOU MURDOCH HA HA HA
