Grumbles
Justified complaints from genuinely disgruntled holiday makers
From tourists grumbling about too many clouds in the air to those blaming hotels for the potato famine, Grumbles weeds out the dross and looks at some of the most reasonable whinges.

Benidorm | Bums
One female tourist blamed “Bums Out” beach in Benidorm for her husband’s nomadic eye (and leg), complaining: "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day gawking at other women, some men and a poodle with a fancy bow ." Another moaned: "The beach had too many hairy people, one looked like Chewbacca, it was gross." Finally, this lady on Mumsnet pointed out “ I was propositioned by what I thought was a short pot-bellied pig in glasses, turns out it was a man and that wasn’t a curly phone cord like he said. I had to pull it many, many times before I got a dialling tone”.

Smoking | Dog
One tourist complained that ”My children were disappointed they had to go outside to smoke, especially as they had bought 200 fags each in duty free.” While another was concerned about animal welfare: “Every time I kicked the dog it barked and growled and even “went for me”, when I arrived I specifically asked for a dog that could be assaulted without any comebacks.” Beds | Twins?
Trouble sleeping caused problems for a cycling troupe, who protested: "My mate kept me awake because he was snoring. Now I’m pregnant”. Another man were incensed to find he wasn’t sharing a room - ”I booked twins expecting a threesome and all we got was one room with two beds in it. What the fuck?” |
