Sun-worshipping Brits are more likely to take their kit off when abroad and show 'more flesh' when chilling by the pool. Comedian Milo McCabe, known for his posh persona Troy Hawke, recently visited an all-inclusive resort in Turkey to uncover how the free buffets and bar can influence those on their . It follows a TUI survey of 1,000 holidaymakers, where nine out of ten admitted that their behaviour 'dramatically changes' once they arrive at an all-inclusive.
Over half (55%) said they were 'happy' to wear outfits they wouldn't even dream of putting on at home, while one in three claimed they 'often bare more flesh in swimwear abroad' than they ever would in the UK (yes, the miserable weather might play a part in that). In a now-viral video, the moustached posho tries whipping up conversations with Brits trying to switch off in the sun - garnering some hysterical reactions. After discovering seven out of ten respondents confessed to trying dishes they wouldn't usually touch, Troy encourages tourists to be 'bold with their buffet choices'.
"You have the United Nations on one plate," he said, suggesting people opt for bizarre combos such as 'sushi and beans, lobster and chips, taco and souvlaki'. With 43% 'judging' other diners' food choices, it's unlikely Brits will be that brave. But one thing you can count on us for is sneaking food back up to our hotel room when we're not allowed.
Over a third (38%) admitted to the 'sneaky' habit. Despite how persistent the instructor might.
