Apparently not happy with getting up at the crack of dawn to place their towels on sunbeds - the Germans are now booking a sunbed before they get there. !!!!
I normally just throw their towels in the bushes and take the sunbed. When they turn up, I just shrug my shoulders.
Used to work with a German guy who wasn't very popular. He got into the office one morning and someone had put a beach towel on his chair........he didn't laugh.....
I read in a magazine that whilst on holiday in the countryside in Germany an english tourist called the police as she heard this strange nosie and when they arrived and investigated they reported
"it was only a german laughing but it is indeed a rare thing"
In defence of the Germans, have you ever been abroad and gone into one their bars? They sure know how to party - and make you feel welcome.
The towels on sunbeds thing is only because the Germans manage to be up with the lark, whilst some Brits are still sleeping off their hangovers!
I think Crankshaft that is a little extreme for putting their towels on the sunbed (:oD - I will just stick with throwing them in the bushes (the towels that is not the Germans !) hmm on second thoughts though !!!!!!!!!!!
