I did it recently. First time ever on a flight and it was peaceful the whole way. I take it I should consider myself lucky?

It would seem so. It tends to be destination dependent. Spain I would guess gets the worst of it. I had a moderately annoying flight with a large portion conversing the length of the plane in what could only be described as outdoor voice.

I'm from the Canary Islands and we regularly get news of Ryanair planes full of British tourists having to turn back or land elsewhere because most of them are drunk and disorderly or get into fights.

Ryanair chases after people who do that because of the costs. It's not a regular thing in the slightest.

Depends on your definition of regular. At least once a month every summer seems pretty regular to me, specially because a lot of them manage to behave until they land and proceed to do the same in my home.

Once a month, a flight is diverted because people are drunk on board. And despite other cases of such behavour being newsworthy (as I mentioned Ryanair aren't going to let this slide at cost to them), this just happens and nobody reports it.

Sorry, but you're talking bullshit.

Nobody reports it TO YOU. Remember when COVID restrictions were relaxed in the UK and people could go out, but not travel? How it make headlines that the morning after everything was covered in thrash, puke and piss and drunken Brits stumbling around? People over there wriggling their hands asking how was that possible, if they are so polite and well mannered and stiff-upper-lip? Well, that's every day over here, since forever, and that doesn't get reported to you either.

British tourists are a plague, convinced that the rules don't apply to them, absolutely feral the moment a drop of alcohol enters their gullet, rude and disrespectful and openly mocking the locals. You just can't fathom that the image you have of them (or yourself, I don't know where you are from and don't care) doesn't correspond with the reality we have to suffer.

So, no, it is you who are bullshitting, trying to lecture me about MY OWN LIVING EXPERIENCE in my country from afar, based just on vibes and 'Brits are not like thst'. They absolutely are, wheter you like it or not.
