    As a Brit I usually stay clear of my fellow drunken patriots when overseas. That's not to say they are all bad of course but you can spot these guys a mile off. Loud with alcohol usually involved. There is something about the culture in the UK that having a good time revolves around excessive drinking that appears no where else in Europe. With the Irish excepted but they just have a good time rather getting into fights. If anyone asks me where I am from I usually try to avoid the question. My accent is a give away of course so I just say the land of Mancunia. They look at me like a dog who just been shown a card trick but hey. 

    .............loud with alcohol .    Reminds me of the times at big league footy games. Police keeping fans seperate.   I wonder if it still happens .

  2. In this case I think there is a thin line between beging and selling. Where I live every Friday there are one or two beggers along walking street who can only sit on a mat showing their twisted and worn out limbs.  The certainly don't get up and walk home at the end of the evening so they are begging but are small girls begging who are selling flowers ?

    Why open the bag and take everything, wasting time with people inside the building?

    Just pick up the bag and go, dump the bag later?

    Sounds iffy to me.

    Sounds iffy to me too.  Many years ago I knew someone who claimed on his insurance for a camera that had been stolen from his hotel room.  Only thing was he never had a camera .

    Also in the '60s he made a claim for a stolen motorbike in London. He sold the bike to someone for 100 quid and gave him the bike key.  Horrible chap.
