You’re a true Brit abroad if these 11 things have happened to you on holiday | The Sun

SUMMER 2022 has seen millions of Brits go abroad for the first time since the pandemic started.  

Despite it being over two years since many people last went abroad, these holiday traditions are still going strong.

How many of these classic Brits abroad things have happened to you?  

Let’s play Holiday Bingo with Sun Bingo!  

Holiday bingo  

The early start  

Early morning flights. That means setting a ridiculously early alarm and feeling like you’ve been hit by a bus.  

Hide and seek with passports 

You put the passports in a back pocket of your bag so that they’re easy to reach when you get to security.

You’ll still check for them 10 times.

At one point, you’ll put them back in a different part of your bag, go to check them again, won’t feel them, and be convinced that you’ve dropped them.  

PLAY FREE BINGO BEFORE EVEN DEPOSITING

Eating and drinking anarchy  

A Nando’s at 6am? A Wetherspoon trip at 9am? You’d never think of doing that in your everyday life.

However, when Holiday Mode kicks in, anything goes.  

Your gate is in another postcode  

Let’s hope you're wearing comfy shoes.

Your gate isn’t one of the ones that are right next to departures, it’s on the other side of the airport.

You start to feel like you might as well have walked to your holiday destination.  

HOW TO PLAY THE DYNAMITE DIGGER SLOT GAME

Sat next to someone annoying  

If you’re not next to your family / friends, your neighbour will be a talker, a snorer, someone who keeps needing to get out of their seat or orders a lot from the trolley that needs to be passed over you.

Let’s just hope you don’t get a dreaded kicks-your-chair passenger sat behind you.  

Arrive in a hot country  

You arrive to a blast of hot air as you get off the plane.

It feels like bliss after the chilly plane. 

Sunlounger Olympics  

Reserving sunloungers is a competitive sport.

How early is too early?

Is there a restriction on how many can be reserved?

Is it worth cancelling your hotel room and just sleeping on the sunloungers instead, just to be safe? 

JOIN SUN BINGO EVERY SUNDAY – THURSDAY EVENING FOR THE STARLIGHT AND POWERHOUSE SESSIONS

Learning the local language  

Mostly the words and phrases that you pick up will be holiday lingo: “please”, “thank you”, “water”, “the bill” and “toilets?”.   

Suntan or sunburn? 

You’re not sure if the red is just from the hot sun and it’ll turn to tan or if it is in fact sunburn.

You’ll know as soon as you step into the shower and when it comes to tucking into the sheets that night.

Summer friendships  

At some point you’ll start up a conversation with fellow holidaymakers.

They might live the other end of the UK, but that feels close when you’re abroad.

You’ll see them by the pool, in the restaurant, maybe even have drinks with them.

They are lifelong friends for the week.

You will never hear or see them again once you leave.  

What’s next? 

The holiday was great but now it’s time to travel home.

You start to flick through the in-flight travel brochures, looking for next year’s getaway destination.
