British woman says her Spanish holiday was ruined by too many Spanish people

Brexit is going to be amazing. It is just a shame I am on the wrong side of it. People here complain about Europeans moving here, but I bet the Europeans complain more about British people over there.

They don’t queue, but that’s because queuing is just a British thing. Most Spanish places I’ve been to People walk in somewhere and ask “who is last”. When that person gets served then you know that you’re next.

I had that in a panadero in Guadix, I walked in after being told to get some rolls, and there were half a dozen people standing around, no queue, and I wondered how it was going to work, terrified that I’d jump the queue, when a woman came in, and said what sounded like ultimate, but in a questioning tone, a couple of people pointed at me, while I was thinking, “ultimate”?, the best there is? Gee.
The newcomer smiled at me, and the centavo dropped, (this was long ago), ultima, last, I had been last, all I had to do was count the others, and I’d be next when they’d gone.
 
I remember when i was about 17 i went on a holiday to Malta. Was full of English people and Irish pubs. Hated it. Never have and never will go back to that country, way too English.

When I was backpacking I never understood why so many people were keen on seeking out and drinking in the Irish pubs. Morons.

Reminded me of many moons ago, my ex’s friends (not ex then), had recommended her to go to Quarteira, Algarve, buzzing place, good bars, restaurants, the whole nine yards, (allegedly).
We duly turned up there late one evening, and the streets were dusty, like a Wild West frontier town, and the only restaurant we saw was an Indian, which turned out to be not bad, run by some Goan brothers.
We checked into the hotel, where a few Brits were at the bar, not particularly rowdy, but talking in raised voices, and swearing, went to the Indian, had dinner, then checked out a few bars, they ALL had British TV shows running, and lots of drunk Brits and Irish.
I said to her the next afternoon, “I’m not having a week of this, I’ll see what I can get elsewhere”, she said, “Suppose I don’t want to go elsewhere?”
I said then I’ll give you a couple of thousand escudos, (I said it was many moons ago), and I’ll meet you at Faro Airport in five days time.”
She came with me, I got a villa with pool in Carvoiero, it cost a few quid, and I just bit the bullet with the hotel cost, but I can’t suffer too much of those chavs on holiday.
 
Resorts all over the world are full of these people now. Depending on which one you go to depends on which nation's rejects you get.
