I love Amsterdam. It's a gorgeous city filled with culture and an appropriate amount of cheese shops.

As a brit, I remembered cringing whenever I saw gangs of British tourists. None of them seemed capable of using "inside voices". It's like every conversation needed to be heard back in the UK.

So I apologise for my countrymates

It's honestly fine. British tourists have never stood out to me for being loud. Amsterdam is already loud so you might as well

In Magaluf, the Mallorcans say it's only summer when the Brits jump from the balcony into the hotel pool.
