"Zis means war!"

Send the bombers over.

Fewer Germans - more sunbeds for British sun lovers.

Sorted.

I'm just back from Tenerife but the sun did not get round the pool area til lunchtime. Watching folks from 7.30 onwards running down to sunbeds to get their favourite spot was laughable. After their breakfast they plonked thereselves down in the shade just waiting for that moment the sun appeared round from the main building. We used the morning to go walking, returned at lunchtime, went to side of hotel where they stored extra sunbeds and plonked it down in the sun. Perfect. Really cannot abide the early morning "sunbed dash" and I have to say it was mostly Brits. Can't blame the Germas on this occasion.

We were in Lanzarote this time last year and saw exactly the same kind of things Toky. We used to have a bit of a laugh at everyone hogging their sunbeds in the shade just waiting for the sun to come round to them. We just went out for a walk, in the sun, had some lunch out and got back to the pool for a couple of hours. And yes, a lot were British.
Having said that, we liked where we stayed and would go back again for some winter sun.

That German ambassador is right: some of 'em do still live in WWII. Well, you can stand alone Stuart, but if you want to lie on a sunbed, you'll have company.

(Although why anyone would want to lie down on an instrument of medieval torture next to a rectangular pit of water sited round the backside of a hotel I find it difficult to comprehend).

I confess - I've never been on a sunbed in my life.

Ginger hair and pinky/grey skin - I reflect the sun.

Might as well try and suntan a mackerel.
