A fuming British OAP claims her Benidorm holiday was ruined because her hotel had 'too many Spaniards in it' - and there were no English tribute bands.

Freda Jackson, 81, says she was left in tears at the end of her two-week trip because of the "rude" Spaniards, and has questioned why they don't holiday elsewhere.

The Retired care assistant said: “The hotel was full of Spanish holidaymakers and they really got on our nerves because they were just so rude.

“One evening a Spanish guy nearly knocked me flying and he just walked off without even apologising.

"The entertainment in the hotel was all focused and catered for the Spanish - why can’t the Spanish go somewhere else for their holidays?”

Grandmother-of-six Freda and her 61-year-old friend paid a total of £1,133 for the all-inclusive stay at Benidorm's Poseidon Playa hotel, but claim that they were not informed it is a predominantly Spanish hotel.

They also claim that the hotel is on an incline when they had specifically said their mobility issues meant they needed a hotel on a level surface.

In a move that wouldn't seem out of place in ITV comedy Benidorm, the furious OAPs demanded a full refund or a free trip from Thomas Cook to make up for their overly Spanish trip to Spain - but were horrified to be just offered a £75 gift voucher each.

I'm not surprised they were rude to her if she used half of this attitude whilst on the holiday.

Going abroad on holiday and complaining about the lack of English people. Yeah, that's not a moronic attitude at all.

Wanting to go to Spain, but all the Spanish people go elsewhere whilst she's visiting.

What exactly is YOUR problem? Is she YOUR grandmother?


she could be your grandmother FFS

No, she couldn't.

I know both my grandmothers and she isn't her!

she was the target of abuse

nothing

She says she's the target of abuse... in the same breath as wishing Spaniards would disappear whilst she holidays in Spain with only other English people around her.

Yeah, I think we can safely say who the issue lies with.

She says one guy bumped into her. If she judges "spaniards" based on that, she's a dickhead nothing more.

So I'm prejudiced, but this woman's is fine because she's 81?

Ok LT. Go back to bed lad.

[GoldHeart]

Actually I'm surprised there's so many Spanish people :joker:, isn't Benidorm predominantly drunken Brits :hehe: .

But what a stupid woman ,and xenophobic ! :crazy: . Obviously they'll always be people holidaying in their own country ,not everyone travels far a field for a holiday . You don't tell Brits who enjoy going to Margate
"go somewhere else" utterly ridiculous .

[Smithy]

when you are 81 i will make a thread about what you say

You will be dead

[Northern Monkey]

:joker:

Bless her.

To be fair you don’t expect to see many Spaniards in Benidorm.
When i’ve been there i’ve been told to stay away from groups of locals incase they pickpocket you or worse.

[Alf]

I'd rather go to Butlins or Scarborough.

[Rob!]

when you are 81 i will make a thread about what you say

Let’s not pretend you won’t be in at least four figures by then

[glibberglobber]

yeah some hints of xenophobia

BUT

the poor lady nearly got sent flying and could have possibly DIED

[jaxie]

I'm stunned they gave her some vouchers. She doesn't deserve them for her silly complaints.

[Ammi]

.....eeeek...the name of the hotel made me smile..the Poseidon Playa Hotel...not the best adventure for her, a disaster from beginning to end, it seems...how apt the name really...


...those pesky Spaniards aside..:laugh:..she did seem to have some genuine grievances...Thomas Cook not notifying of the flight change date..?..if that’s true obviously...and the mobility issues of being put on the 14th floor originally, although the hotel did address that as best as they could and changed the room to the 1st floor, but still one level up which wasn’t a good start for her...and the incline the hotel was on, which couldn’t be addressed by hotel staff...so things if true, which would have meant being badly guided by the representative of Thomas Cook who helped book her holiday, that she’d spent 12 months saving for...hopefully it’ll all be addressed and sorted out to her satisfaction etc...those pesky Spaniard people though...how very dare they support tourism in their own country..:fist:...pfffft...

[Livia]

I wonder how much of that woman's experiences has been embroidered? I wonder how much of that stuff she actually said, or whether the "newspaper" directed the questions and then misquoted her. I mean, she's 81... we can all have a bloody good laugh at her.

[Niamh.]

She's 81 not 8

[Livia]

She's 81 not 8

I don't know what that means...

[arista]

they want her back

[Niamh.]

I don't know what that means...

She's an adult not a child?

[Livia]

She's an adult not a child?

She's elderly. How many times have I read on here about elderly people with their cardigans and their peppermints and their casual racism.... I know a lot of people who've been misquoted in the press and I wonder how much this story was embroidered by them to make it more interesting and encourage people to laugh at her. And call her names. Old Bitch, for instance. She's clearly not the full quid though.

Oh so because she's old she must have been misquoted? I see.

As the story emerges, it appears the Spanish guests were rude, Spanish people can be rude, they can also be extremely xenophobic even to people just on holiday....you also get very nice Spanish people, such is the way of the world..

While that is true, English people are also the same, Benidorm has gone from a Spanish town to basically an English city in Spain, not all Spaniards would be happy about that.

Not my experience of the Spanish at all whenever I've been there (in general of course as we're all individuals)

and this is why I pointed out that it is the same the world over when the balance of native v non native is shifted too far

[Cherie]

There is a hardware shop where we go where they practically throw the stuff at you if you are white...even if you are speaking Spanish and some of the staff in Consum are rude, not unlike staff in shops anywhere
