Get yourself to Venice to experience some real hostility to holidaymakers

Im also in a small Kent seaside town and actually own a gift shop and we do most of our trade during the summer months. I agree its more the damage they do the beaches that we have a problem with more than the actual visitors themselves

They are filming Outlander at a local beauty spot near to me at the moment, already people are up in arms about the amount of "tourists" who are going to be trekking about the place in the future. It will bring money to the area, particularly a small town nearby it. I guess the infrastructure isn't there to cope with large busloads etc. The hostility is there before the tourists have even arrived!

I live in a seaside town on the east coast and I know some locals who dread the summer. They forget holidaymakers bring money into the town. I had a small hotel until 2004 and loved meeting people from all over. Some have remained friends and they still visit us and we visit them.

Sounds like he got out of bed the wrong side.
Maybe it’s just been replaced due to vandalism? It wasn’t particularly friendly of him though! I remember going to the De La Warr pavilion with my mum shortly after a refurb. She lives nearby. Some young children were doing some chalk drawings (supervised) on the ground outside and she was embarrassingly grumpy about it. Moaning that her council tax would pay for it to be removed and that it would encourage grafiti etc. Honestly I was speechless. Firstly the rain will wash it away and secondly it was clearly an organised activity. I think she forgets she ever had children herself 🤷 |

I agree with some of the others an 8 year old shouldnt be swinging or encouraged to swing on a gate - they are expensive and the gates are there for a reason if they get broken it ruins access for everyone.
Sounds like the man was already annoyed and rather than trying to calm things you guys laughed at hm/mocked him and then were rude to him. Whilst he shoulnt have lost his temper it sounds like you provoked him. Personally if it was me I would have apologised and then walked away. He might still have sworn and lost his temper but I wouldnt have given him any cause for it.

Sadly whilst we were there a man was swept out to sea and we saw on the news his body was found the following morning, we saw the search and rescue helicopter flying up and down from afternoon till night. So scary the waves were so rough.
Puts things into perspective really and there’s us getting wound up by a gumpy local! |
