Have a nice holiday but ‘don’t mention the war’ !

A British ‘holidaymaker’ (what is it with this word - why don’t the Brits call themselves ‘tourists’ ? ) has been awarded £750 after he booked a holiday for his family on the Greek island of Kos and on arrival found the resort full of German tourists.
He complained that the activities and facilities were geared toward the Germans and he and his family were unable to join in on any of the fun because they cannot speak German. I suppose he has a point to some degree but what was stopping them just mucking in and having a go ?
Anyone who encounters German tourists on holiday at these places generally have just one complaint; they totally hog all the pool side sun loungers by placing their towels on them as early as sunrise and then returning when they are ready - ‘This is my sun chair for the entire day so bugger off - why ? because my towel says so! ‘
This annoying ‘reservation’ system is widespread and having encountered this myself I have one excellent way of dealing with this situation; if you arrive at the pool first thing in the morning finding no people but plenty of towels everywhere simply choose the lounger you like most and remove the towel. Now you have yourself a chair ! works every time for me.
