I recall @dan Dare getting fed up with Japanese tourists.

I was watching the Motorbike show on C4 and they were in the Cotswolds as a favourite local ride through the three B towns including Arlington Row and Bourton on the Water or the little Venice of the Cotswolds.

Anyway the Japs come as apparently Hirohito spent time there.

The Japanese strike me as having, if anything, an overabundance of respect for places they visit

On recent trip to central London I noticed several of them posing for photographs next to broken, graffiti covered phone box.

Remember, there is no antimemetics division.

There is a layby and snack bar just south of Girvan and the Japanese tourist buses that stop, they may well be Chinese I am not sure, all disgorge people not to take photographs of Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde but to pose for photos in front of the field of sheep on the opposite side of the road.
