why is no1 talking about the "costa del crime" tv

[spanish_lad]

i haven´t seen it, but from what i hear its supposed to be very true to life ?

- police brutality,

- groups of english teens going out to get plastered,

- slutty english girls,

- spanish / english fighting in the streets,

- excess drug use on the costas...

has anyone seen it ? i´ve only got "basic" sky, i cant watch it myself.


to be honest i´m surprised theres not a big stink kicking off about it ? why is no1 talking about it ? is everyone trying to deny what real life is in spain ??

I have watched the programme mention

Bravos Costa del crime, but I was not shocked at all at the behavior, because this is just an enhanced version of every town in the uk every week. A certain element of Brits always go to far and show us all up.

The only shock I had was the mentioning that Benalmadena (or probably more accurately arroyo) is full of poor ex pat Brits who act like an underclass in a uk inner city.

I also think their money is needed to keep all the bars open.

I am sad that the spanish will judge us all as hooligans!

I cannot speak for anyone else, but what you describe takes place in most UK cities, most weekends (apart perhaps from the English and Spanish fighting).

So it is not that different, special, or unique to Spain.

I live near Estepona RIGHT ON THE COSTA DEL SOL, and have been here for three years. I do not know anyone, Brit or Spanish, who has been robbed, the victim of police brutality, is a slutty English girl, or fights in the street, but there are some noisy golfers in season. What do these people have that I do not have Do I need to move up campo Confused.............

I live in Marbella and must admit I haven`t seen any of the above! and yes I do go out before you ask. Must be living in a different Costa Del Sol.
