Michael Winner was correct: time and again, I've stayed in 5* Hotels, only to have the place (the cuisine, the location etc.) spoiled by replicants of that Harry Enfield character "Considerably Richer than You!" :(
As an American I've always been so jealous of Brits being able to go off to a Holiday in another country by just a short flight over to Europe, in the same time it takes me who lives in the Washington DC area to go to New York City....uggghhh. boring!!
I've been lucky enough to have gone on many many holidays growing up, and not once have we had one of these hotel reps. We don't take package deals. I don't know why you would honestly.
I confess. When me, my mum and my sister were on holiday in Disneyland Paris a few years ago, we sneaked dozens of chocolate croissants every day at breakfast to have for lunch later. Hands up anyone else who's done that on holiday :)
For God’s sake dont use a package deal. Book a hotel in the place (in our case city) of your choice online- you can see what you are getting there. Book your flight online and then any corresponing trave train/bus. And suddenly you are there. We’ve done it 12 times and it’s never failed. Last time i went on a package holiday was 1979 - cost my parents a fortune and they were so tight fisted i had to sleep in a camp bed in their room and i was 15.
Sadly a lot of families only manage to go on holiday if they go somewhere like that, because it's cheaper, so yes I know it's easy to stereotype the people that go to those places as people who want a cheap, all they can drink lager holiday.... But actually most are hard working minimum wage families who desperately want their children to have nice holidays like so many others. It's sad, but it all comes down to being able to afford it, and if you can book in advance, or if late cheaper deals are necessary due to finances. It's easy to stereotype and / Or mock yes I'm sure many people fit the stereotype, but many many others are families with parents who want to give their children all the experiences and memories possible, with the UK minimum wage that's not easy. Just something to bare in mind. 👍
My fellow country people do not just put their towels on the sun lounges, one can hardly hold them back putting it on THEIR chairs in the buffet room, like at a medical cure ore something. Once I sat next to some people we were talking nicely wished each other a good night, all very friendly, and went to sleep. while next day they would not even greet me at all. First I thought, oh gosh, what did I say wrong last evening, but then I realized I had just been sitting on one of THEIR chairs they had chosen on arrival. Ugh!
Don't ever go to the introduction meeting!!! you can get better for less at the local agents and feel superior at not being duped and you get to see more interesting places.
Everyone on this program has some great observations, but do they honestly do the same as us plebs now they are celebrities. i m sure they love to believe they all have the common touch but they probably go to their Villas and their houses in Seychelles or take private jets, and have nannies.
why do people from the uk go overseas when we have so much to see in our countries what the fek is wrong with brits , see your own country we have the Mediterranean weather in the UK now make britan great again for gods sake

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.2 Peter 3 (KJV) - 2ይ ጴጥሮስ 18: But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The KJV of the Bible is both inaccurate and invalid! It was written for the benefit, (or detriment), of a people who were quite determined to turn their backs on The One True Church, The One established by Jesus Christ Himself, The Roman Catholic Church, and incidentally of which, that that passes for It today, is most DEFINITELY NOT!
At the resort, my mates and I would raid the continental breakfast bar and take anything not stapled down. Eat it out in the boat or anything that gets soiled with sand and bait juice would be bait.
This show is really hilarious I specially like the Christmas episode is excellent for the holiday blues
I've been on many over seas holidays I've enjoyed every single of them I'm just grateful to be able to go on them
love the narrator's nickname for the Holiday rep, Cherpy chops :))

I totally agree with Don Warrington on the Germans reserving sun loungers! Finally somebody apart from me doesn't have anything against them!!!
DONT GO ON HOLLIDAY!
just stay at home, save your money and time
This is so hilarious
Glad I don't like going on holiday😊 I love being home where there are no other people to get on my nerves and no hot sun. Wales in Britain.👋

It's about cost, quite often that's all that people can afford👍
I confess. When me, my mum and my sister were on holiday in Disneyland Paris a few years ago, we sneaked dozens of chocolate croissants every day at breakfast to have for lunch later. Hands up anyone else who's done that on holiday :)
don't most people?
Package holiday would be hell..trip advisor with a city break ..Yes..!!.

Not British but the idea of this style of holiday is simply madness. English buffet.......🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

@Lionstar16 The amount they charge fo breakfast it's worth grabbing some bread and fruit for later on.
Jane Moore and Michael Winner deserve these holidays.
Thank heaven we can all do a bit of research online nowadays...anyone who doesn't needs their head testing.
Us Aussies are sadly too often dreadful tourists. My family have found ourselves lying about where we are from just to save the judgement.
+DreamBelief I do the same as being australian is quite embarrassing, like saying you are backward.
Don't worry, you can never beat the Chinese. :-)
LLLOOOOLLLing so true!
the problem is other people..micheal winner...it works both ways with you aswell!
I always fly first class and get picked up at the airport by Rolls Royce taken to my hotel which I never have to complain about.
Sun lounger war in full swing- German's getting all the best rooms. Slightly xenophobic, but true!
some places in spain are like war zones katherine hette is always breathless who the hell are hslf these people
Canadians on a Sunwing holiday with their Bubba cups...wtf!? You know who you are !!
Ah the good old pre brexit years , when people could afford hols abroad and were welcomed .
if you buy a package deal or go on tour, and don't do your research you deserve to be miserable all week.
The main cities of Australia are too far from exciting places so the airfare costs a horde load and you cant pay me enough to go to Indonesia.
No real traveller goes on a package hol ever.
Needs to be louder
Micahs daddy was killed by Matthew Paris
This is how British people do vacation? Weird no wonder they are unhappy on here and what is a holiday rep? We don’t have such a thing

What has all that got to do with a holiday abroad....
I don't like Rhona Cameron. She comes across really drab.
