This is a question Brits Abroad

Union jack shorts, bulldog t-shirts, bars named after soap operas, hen parties in Malaga. Tell us about your encounters with the worst (or best) of our fair country's travelers around the world. Alternatively, tell us about your own doomed quest to find a decent cup of tea in Moscow.

Zakynthos
On the way back to our holiday flats after a heavily-ouzoed evening at one of the local Brit-friendly bars (although every bar and restaurant on the entire island appeared to fit that criterion), a couple of the lads in our group started arguing about whether Greek men were inherently chauvinistic and whether the honour of a female member of our party needed defending, after she'd been hit on in a spectacularly clumsy fashion by a local guy at the bar whose sole charm lay in his bulging muscles.

By the time we'd got to the small car park behind the villas that housed the apartment complex's dumpsters, voices were beginning to be raised and, in best "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" tradition, the lads started pushing and shoving each other around. The resultant shouting and grappling and clanging and swearing triggered the appearance of a wild-haired Greek in a string vest on his balcony opposite us, shouting whatever the Greek is for "STAY ABOUT FROM MY BINS!"

It pays to be cautious.
Unfortunately, what you were is shit-faced... ;)
