Paulcedron- with a rant it pays to at least be factual - avoids being branded an idiot. Yes Arg tourists are quite welcome to visit the Islands - same as all other nationals.
Now if they act stupid and start waving the Arg flag about and strutting about the hills in 1982 combat uniforms - surprise! - That pisses us off and makes that minority lot very unpopular - and is one of the reasons why some now find it very difficult to hire a car etc here.
Last year one off a ship did try to unfurl a flag in town - his own shipmates very quickly put him right and told him t- *** stop it before any of us could intervene and politley tell him to do so and return to the ship - we did not need to - his fellow countrymen and women sorted him!
Another started a rant at the guide on a coach taking them to the Arg War Graves - he was well and truly shut-up by another tourist - an Arg 1982 veteran - who stood up and told him to shut-up and sit down or he would assist the guide in chucking him off the coach! He got a cheer from the other Argentines onboard - the offender was left silent as the others refused to speak to him for the rest of the tour.
