I’m vacationing in Spain and all I hear are working class British accents. Geez, they make Long Islanders sound like the Duchess of Devonshire. I had no idea how bad these accents are.

That must be so painful for you OP. You should probably exit that country now.

Spain is a large place.
I'm guessing OP isn't relaxing in the more exclusive parts of Valencia or Sevilla or Zaragoza or but slumming it in an all inclusive on the Costa del Sol

Is that what they call the Costa de Gin R5 or is that in Portugal?
Either way, it can be hilarious to see them wandering the streets, screaming in the streets, fighting in the streets, and then falling onto the streets so fucked up that they can't get up.

I love "British white trash accents."
Especially when you are fucking them in the pub toilet stall!!

The Brits have taken over Costa Del Sol for 50 years now.

Easily avoidable by not going to tacky low rent Brit/German/American destinations.
Benidorm/Costa del Sol/Malaga/Torremolinos/Canary Islands.
But then you can't rely on English menus for people who can't even navigate Google translate.
Low rent is as low rent does.

Personally I stay at home in the summer and would visit Italy in September/October.

It’s part of the new diversity push. Only white actors can appear posh (speak well). If you’re not white, you speak in an accent other than Standard British and you are anything but posh.
If you’re white, you can speak Cockney in a period piece or in modern shows if you’re chav. Standard British if you’re a solicitor, doctor, banker or other professional.

Brits are very embarrassed of posh accents and relentlessly ridicule people who have them. So I wouldn’t be shocked if a lot of the people OP is hearing are putting it on.
It’s kind of like the way white middle class kids in the USA use Ebonics on social media and sometimes even speak that way (which is cringe-inducing).

R41 A standard, neutral radio or television announcer's UK accent is called "Received pronunciation." Not posh, not tatty, not London or the Midlands or Glasgow or Oxbridge.
Many Europeans speaking English sound like they do because they heard it on the BBC.
