  1. On a streak of curiousity, I wanted to look up the origins of the urban myth / legend that German tourists get up early to put towels on sunbeds at Mediterranean resort complexes. The only newspaper I can find reporting on this is the Telegraph which perhaps gives me my answer.

      This was inspired by reading the J. G. Ballard short story, 'The Largest Theme Park in the World', where a majority of Europe's population decide to live permanently on holiday in those Mediterranean resorts.
