Michelle Palmer’s boozy beachfront frolic has been included in a rundown of the top ten worst examples of bad British behaviors seen abroad. The 36-year-old was caught allegedly having sex on Beach in Dubai with fellow Brit Vince Acors, 34. Popular web site MSN has rated Palmer’s case as third worst on a list of lewd and embarrassing ‘Brits-abroad’ behavior seen in recent years. It seems that some Brits will strip off and get down to it pretty much anywhere, regardless of cultural sensitivities or legal consequences.
In July, Michelle Palmer was arrested for having sex on a beach in Dubai and compounded the offence - according to reports - by attacking the arresting officer.
Surprisingly, Acors is not mentioned anywhere in the notorious top ten. Palmer was only beaten to the top spot by two British women who, in a drunken stupor, tried to open the cabin door of a plane flying 30,000ft high from Kos to Manchester. Apparently the women wanted some “fresh air”.
And in second place were nine British women who faced vice charges for taking part in lewd acts on a beach on the Greek island of Zante. Last year, a Foreign Office report revealed the extent of British shame. In 2005-6, 1,368 Brits were arrested in the United States, 955 hospitalized in Greece and 6,000 lost their passports in Spain. A second report revealed most 16 to 30-year-old Brits don’t go on holiday for the local culture or cuisine, but for binge drinking and casual sex.
And a third study by lastminute.com found Brits on the beach were deemed the least attractive, rudest, worst dressed and the heaviest drinkers by other European holidaymakers. Palmer and Acors will appear in Dubai Court of First Instance tomorrow and face charges of having an illicit affair, performing an indecent act in public and consuming alcohol.
Palmer has since been sacked from her job as a media executive following the incident on July 5, when the pair had spent the day drinking at a brunch.
