"Over-55s 'causing holiday havoc'

Beach in Benalmadena on the Spanish Costa Del Sol
The Foreign Office is warning of drowning tragedies
Older British holidaymakers are causing the sort of trouble normally associated with the younger generation, the Foreign Office has said.

Over-55s are endangering their health by drinking too much alcohol and trying out dangerous sports such as bungee jumping on overseas trips, it warns.

Excessive drinking has led to abusive behaviour from some fifty-somethings, according to the Foreign Office.

Over-eating and over-drinking has also resulted in drownings, it added.

The Foreign Office said recent surveys showed 20% of 55-plus holidaymakers try activities they would not contemplate at home.

In addition, nearly two in three admitted not taking out travel insurance on their last trip overseas, and more than half of older holidaymakers drink more alcohol abroad than they would in the UK."


My view on it?????
Awww... let them be happy!!!!! :)
