Gee, a British guy dogging out Germans...go figure. I thought the whole story was hilarious!

Probably could have been handled better, but agree it is a world wide problem. I get enough sun at the ranch, so you would find me looking for the shade anyhow.

His comment may not have been meant for only German people. He may have been trying to be politically correct by using the term Germanic to describe any one who speaks a Germanic language which would include, Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch-Flemish, Faroese, Frisian, High German, Gutnish, Icelancid, Low German, Norwegian, Swedish and Yiddish.:D :p ;) :D

Noooooooo! It's a long standing joke in Britain about us going to Europe on holiday and finding all the sunbeds 'claimed' by 6am every morning by Germans who lay their belongings on them, and then go back to bed for another 4 hours or so!

 

But to be honest, the British are just as bad. Everywhere you go in Europe, you'll see British and Germans claiming their sunbeds while it's still dark! Both will even sort the beds out at 2am in the morning while returning from a night out. It's war out there on the Spanish Costas!! :D

Oh boy. While I despise chair hogging (why can't everyone be respectful to each other?), the bigger issue is that the Captain "faces an inquiry by the Equality and Human Rights Commission over whether his remarks were racist." :confused:
