The Pet Peeves Thread

It's true

Haha it's so bad, and it's always been that way. There are legit film clips from the 50s of British people (in Spain for the first time) actually wearing suits on the beach. I can't deal.

It was 38.4C here today. But we aren't quite to holiday season. Give it a month or so and we will be swimming in Asian people in their safari gear and Brits in their hilarious outfits with big white socks and sandals lol.

It's not that hot here, only about 18C, but that's "hot" for most of these British people. I've come down to stay with my grandparents for a few days in Somerset, and basically Somerset has the nearest beaches to my (very inland) city, Birmingham. So from May-September, whenever there's a hot weekend or a week when the kids are off school, all the chavs from Birmingham flock down here and we get a full display of British holiday fashion.



And to make it worse, because it's still relatively early-on in summer, they're not even tanned yet. So they're walking around with lily white legs to match their vile white socks. Since I go running regularly I'm already somewhat sun-kissed and glow-y (not super tanned, I'm very fair by Maltese standards) so I have a head start on them.
