I don't like crowds whem I'm on holiday.

I remember that when I was a small boy

we-my brothers and sisters and I -always tried to get away from other people.We
always had our holiday on the coast.Sea and sunshine, that's what we looked
forward to every summer.We always went to small fishing village on the Devon
coast.And if, when we got to the place where we usually bathed ,there were other
people there, we stopped and said."Oh, we can't bathe here today! Somebody's got
here before us!" Today people seem to like crowds.You sayyou wish to meet and
make friends with as many people as possible, so I won't suggest a quiet fishing
village
