Brits rival Germans for sunbed-hogging

BRITISH and German holidaymakers are as bad as each other when it comes to hogging sunbeds, according to a study by Travelzoo. A third of respondents to a holiday ‘honesty’ survey admitted to making the early morning towel run to reserve a sunbed on the beach or by the pool. 

A Travelzoo spokeswoman said: ‘We Brits love to grumble and moan about Germans hogging all the sunbeds at the crack of dawn … little did we know we are just as bad.’

More than 9,500 adults from the UK, US, China, Canada, and Germany were asked to own up to their worst holiday habits.

Americans are the biggest culprits when it comes to heading home with free toiletries – 69% owned up to it compared to 45% of UK holidaymakers and one in five Germans.

Ten percent of Germans admitted to ‘cheating’ on their partner while on holiday compared with 5% of Brits and 2% of Canadians.

A quarter of Americans feigned illness to extend their holiday, against 15% of Brits.
