Regarding Brits abroad - I know it is a little of piste so to speak - but my partner and I were having the usual fish meal at a chiringuito (beach bar) when a Brit shouted to a waiter 'do you do apple pies here mate'. We wanted to slide under the table. A friend of mine complained to me recently when visiting Vietnam and the Philippines that there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the hotel bedrooms. Brits abroad don't you just love them!j
