A British holiday maker has won compensation from a court because his hotel was too full of Germans.
David Burnish, 47, paid £4,000 to take his wife and three daughters to a Thomson's resort in Kos, Greece, but the family found they could not take part in the entertainment, children's club or activities because everything was organised in German, which none of them speak.
He sued Thomson's for breach of contract for not telling him the Grecotel Park catered almost exclusively for Germans, and a judge awarded him £750 compensation.
He said: "I don't want to be seen as a Basil Fawlty. I'm not racist. I wouldn't like to take my family holiday at a hotel over-run by English holidaymakers and the same would also apply if there were French or Spanish or any nationality."
After winning his case at Stoke County Court, he said: "I just want Thomson to change their advertising and start telling the truth about occupancy in these destinations now."
A Thomson spokesman said: "We are sorry that Mr Barnish did not feel the entertainment on his holiday was what he expected."
