Germany's tabloid newspaper, Bild, has printed a guide on how to avoid British holidaymakers.

It was inspired by the case of a British man being awarded £750 after suing his travel company over a holiday at a resort filled with Germans.  (Yes, the story we did last week!)David Barnish, 47, claimed his holiday in Greece had been spoilt by the number of German tourists.

Bild quotes a German legal expert saying that Germans holidaying in all-British resorts would not have the same opportunity of suing. It also ridicules British cuisine, binge-drinking, fashion and sport, says that "athletically they are not up to much, they can't even take penalties".

Bild recommends avoiding the most popular resorts for Brits and lists the top six 'black spots' as Palma, Majorca; San Antonio, Ibiza; Playa de las Americas, Tenerife; Ayia Napa, Cyprus; Faliraki, Rhodes; and Malia in Crete. And it points out that Austria and Switzerland - the hosts of this summer's Euro 2008 football championships - will be largely British-free zones this year...

Sounds useful, where can I get a copy?
