Please obey these rules on holiday
35 Answers
I live in a seaside town and here are some simple rules for you to obey if you are a tourist
1. Do NOT feed the seagulls. It causes them to become incontinent and vacate their bowels on the cars belonging to locals
2. Do not walk four abreast along the pavement causing locals laden with shopping to step into the road
3. Do not meander all over the pavement & then stop suddenly to point at something, causing a local laden with shopping to crash into you
4. If it rains, do not wander en masse around the sole supermarket, getting in the way of harrassed locals doing their shopping. And stop moaning that "it's far cheaper at home"
5. Don't let your dog cr@p on the beach and then tell a local "the tide will wash it away"
6. Don't ask locals ridiculous questions, such as "where will I find Dracula's house?". He wasn't a real person!
7. Do not park your camper van overnight in a residential street and then make things worse by failing to draw the curtains
8. Do not drive the wrong way down a one way street and then tell the local driver you almost hit that you are a tourist. Don't you have no entry signs where you come from?

forgot. Do not rent push bikes and wobble along at a slow walk veering all over the road and making it impossible to get past you.
Do not drive along at 5 miles an hour gawping at the ponies
Do not stop at T junctions to read the freakin map and look at/photograph the ponies
(anybody see a theme here?)

true- pity they'd also have to travel miles out of town to get a job as well though eh Mrs O? ;-)
I do understand your frustration, however, i can see the flip side too. If you're lucky enough to live in a very pretty part of the UK, then you have to accept that others want to visit it. And as ive said, most picturesque places, rely on tourists as well, so just grin and bear it.
