Brits abroad

THE companies running stag events must be living in a different world if they really believe drunken nights in strip clubs in Benidorm and the like are dying out (Mail).

We have just experienced the very worst of such stag party behaviour in the Algarve, Portugal, where the offer of allinclusive package holidays encourages young men to drink themselves into oblivion from early in the morning until they fall down.

Family holidaymakers are being driven away in their hordes by offensive language and gross behaviour in the cafes and streets, by night and day.

We have reluctantly decided it is no longer possible to take pride in being British abroad and we shall not be going back again. JOHN and ANNI FACER, Hertfordshire
