English 'men' abroad

Sarah explained to me the reason I was asked about Latvian women ... white English men come over here in packs, large and small with their minds on beer and women and some on sex tourism -- only the hotels are expensive. Sarah and I went with Josh on the paddle-boats on Friday afternoon, and when we went into town we spotted seven or eight separate groups of guys over from England. At least two groups were chanting / singing football songs. There was one stag weekend (groom dressed in a 'Ghostbusters' suit) and another gang of blokes (I could think of a less complimentary term) applauding and cheering every 'suitable' woman who walked by. There was no redeeming features I could identify about any of this. It was about 4.30pm, it appeared everyone was drunk, or not far off becoming so.
