German tabloid 1, British tourists 0 - but please don't tell Rebekah

Germany's tabloid Bild reacted with disbelief to the news that a British court compensated a British tourist who complained his hotel was dominated by Germans. Bild responded with comments about drunken, sunburned Britons, and a jibe about England's failure to qualify for the forthcoming European football championships. "Dear Tommies," it began, "you don't want to be on holiday with us? No problem. We'll play football without you this summer..." The paper then advised Germans to avoid six European resorts popular with British holidaymakers. Let's hope The Sun - which reported the court case - doesn't get to hear about Bild's story.
