You may recall reports of some of the downright bizarre complaints made by British holiday makers to their holiday reps. These include a complaint from a woman about the fish in the sea startling her children and another who blamed the hotel for her pregnancy after she and her partner had been provided with a double bed instead of two singles.

It would appear that Brits abroad just love to complain and they’ll complain about anything. Benidorm holiday reps have reported that British holiday makers constantly complain, many appearing to be unhappy with being abroad.

One older gent grumbled that the ‘Spaniards are everywhere, you can’t get away from them’.Even after he’d been reminded of how he was on holiday in Spain this particular gentleman then said that the least they could do was speak in English.

One moaner complained that all the road signs were in Spanish and another complained that all the restaurant menus were in Spanish.

Spanish food and drink are a constant source of complaints from British tourists. One person memorably complained that the seafood platter was ‘too fishy’ and another complained that the Sangria was too strong and had led to him chatting up a fellow hotel guest, upsetting his wife.

The unforgiving, hot Spanish sun is another reason why many British tourists like to complain. Many British holidaymakers appear to think it’s the tour companies responsibility to ensure that they are adequately protected against burning in the sun. Holiday reps are often faced with complaints from people who have let themselves become burned on their first day in the hot Spanish sun.

But one moaning British holiday maker complained that the sun rose too early in Spain and another lady who said that the sun was too bright because it hurt her childrens eyes.

One woman complained that her husband had spent the whole holiday staring at the bikini wearing girls who, she said, were too scantily clad.

So what is the strangest or weirdest complaint you’ve heard while on holiday?
