I miss those Italians politely telling incredibly rowdy parties of drunken Brits holidaying on charter boats to shut the **** up and let everyone get some sleep . . . now I've got to do it.


Thks Jim

Sometimes, though, I wonder why some of of the posters don't sail back to their country --- Britain is apparently peaceful, civilized. And devoid of sailing Italians.

There is some point in pottering about the western Med as we've done this summer. There are very few Italians here...... And now they've gone as well as most of the other folks as well. Now, if only the Tramontana would go away we'd be well pleased. 40+ knots for the past 48 hours and another 48 to go......

You must've stayed in Menorca then, we b*ggered off on Thursday to Pollenca - still got caught by the leading edge on the way in which made the last couple of hours 'exciting'. Pollenca is now very quiet compared to a couple of weeks ago, only half a dozen boats on the visitors and 3 or 4 in the anchorage.

No problem with the Italians we have come across this summer, its been the Spanish who mostly anchor in close poximity but in general they go back into a marina at night leaving plenty of room for the rest of us.

I have to agree, very quiet now in Gouvia!! No more italians blasting up and down on their hired quad bikes and scooters! Great!
No more screaming and shouting kids and parents.

But you have yet to experience the arrival of Pauline!

C'mon slowcoach. we are down in the Pelloponese
area already!

NO! I will NOT be calling on you in your little pelloponese enclave - EVER!

If your worried about Italian boats getting too close, what about German cars?

This thread is amusing and entertaining.

You Brits should hear us talk about you.

For instance, I am betting that you have no idea what we mean by the term "unsalted Brit."

Oh, and thanks for the entertainment, albeit racial.

'Unsalted Brit'?:confused: Go on, be brave, tell us, we can take it!

Check with the Aussies!

Don't really think it warrants the description racial but of late, I have come to realize that, at times, racial is another word for true. Or should that be racist? Never too sure of the difference!

Whatever, keep the banter coming!

Your "avatar" is technically incorrect. It needs "Substitute1" and "Substitute2" in there.

No I don't have any manors. Couldn't afford the upkeep.

Before you start abusing me you female fun hole**! just check JB's history of postings. He is constantly putting the case FOR the locals and any other nationals and AGAINST the brits.

Quite right I was extremely rude to you, sorry.:) But I think you like it, otherwise you would have stopped posting years ago;)

What I like the most, about being out here is that I do not need to put up with Brits.
I enjoy the different cultures, I meet on a daily basis. If I only talked and keep company with the English I would have to see the world through the bottom of a glass.

No its the diversity of view and culture that makes it so good If you are very unlucky you can meet Texans ;)
