British tourists voted the worst in Europe
(05 August 2008)British holidaymakers have been voted the least desirable sunbathers in a Europe-wide online poll.
British tourists topped the rudest, the worst dressed, the least attractive and the heaviest drinkers categories in the survey by lastminute.com.
Worst of all, it seems the British know it, with 78% of British holiday-makers agreeing with all four statements.
Britons also find each others beach bodies unattractive, with only one in 10 female Britons finding their male counterparts attractive, and only 5% of men thinking British girls good-looking.
Over 1,000 customers from the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy were quizzed in an attempt to determine people's holiday habits and perceptions.
