Beer swilling British women are branded the 'ugliest in the world'

Beer guzzling, belching, hideous dress sense - and that's some of the nicer things the rest of the world said about British women.

The nation's females were lambasted when asked which country had the ugliest women in an international poll.

Votes poured in, with people from around the globe eager to point out how overweight, unladylike, and generally foul British women are.

Major complaints centred around how many are 'rude', 'drink pints of beer like men' and 'end up drunk in the gutter'.

The UK's (not so) fairer sex were also accused of unashamedly breaking wind and belching in public, of letting their fat hang out, were smothered in 'bad tattoos' and committed crimes against fashion by proudly sporting 'too-tight bikinis and football shirts'.

The tongue-lashing was in response to holiday website Real Holiday Reports which posed the question.

We easily scored the dubious honour of topping the poll, scoring 22.4 per cent of the votes, with American women following us with 16.7 per cent.

The Germans came in a close third with 15.7 per cent, followed by Eastern Europeans and Spaniards, with the Turks at the bottom of the list.

Many of those who voted said they were thoroughly put off by what Britain has to offer in way of females.

Holiday expert Gary Hewitt, who runs the website, said he was not shocked that Britain had scooped the dubious honour of topping the ugly poll.

He said the results confirmed his suspicions about ugly British women and said their behaviour abroad left a lot to be desired.

He said: 'They are increasingly seen to behave more like British men and end up drinking as much as their blokes and letting it all hang out.

'It's not a good reputation and if we want to improve our image we need to sharpen up a bit.'
