Riff Raff

At least TSR2 brings some commonsense to what is, unfortunately, a common attitude by Brits abroad. I share my time between the UK and Portugal and know only too well that the economy on the Algarve would collapse if it was not for the 'Riff Raff' English coming in and spending their hard-earned Euros. I am sure the same is the case for southern Spain as well.

From experience the vast majority of the 'Riff Raff' are thoroughly decent, hard-working people who are both polite and pleasant to the Portuguese.

My experience has also shown that it is the likes of C3B who are the proverbial pain in the backside.

Let's be generous in our thoughts and attitudes, don't put people down because they are seeking a little sun, warm weather on a budget holiday.
Without them, some European economies and airlines would be facing an even greater crisis.
