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?

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

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.

[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....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.....pfffft...

they want her back

[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

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.

Bloody Madge

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.

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

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