Sunbed Wars 2025 officially begin: Opening battle cry 'you picked wrong person'

For some the first sign of summer more hours of sunshine. For others it is blossom falling. But for us, it's the sprouting up of sunbed wars at all-inclusive resorts across the world.
The hardy perennial entertains thousands every year as Brits rise earlier than they would if they were at home to get the best loungers by the pool.
This year's first sunbed war happened at a resort in Lanzarote, accompanied with the battle cry 'you picked on the wrong person' and threats of speaking to the manager.
A video clip filmed at the Hyde Park Lane hotel caught a woman giving fellow holidaymakers a proper talking to after they took 'her spot'.
The Scottish woman, wearing a pink pool cover-up, complained that the sunbathers had taken the spot she had been using 'all week' – despite reserving sunbeds not being allowed.
All the while the offending sunbather kept gesturing at the woman, telling her to 'turn around and walk away'.
Fellow holidaymaker Callum Lines, 31, decided to film the argument.
He said: The Scottish lady said they had been using those beds all week, accusing the couple lying down of moving their items.
'Just to the left, out of shot, was a sign stating no reservation of sunbeds.
'I'm not sure this was the case though.
'The Scottish lady left to apparently seek management but they never showed up.
'I've always got two pence to share even when it's probably not required, but you come away for a rest and some relaxation.
'There were plenty more available beds – all with equal sun exposure – so this really wasn't needed.' More Trending
Callum branded the woman a 'Karen' as she walked away, so she instead turned her attention to him.
She ranted: 'Don't be cheeky, don't be smart mouthed either.
'You don't know who you're talking to and you don't know who we're here with.
'So just keep your f*****g mouth shut.'

Coronation Street's Lisa walks away in new spoiler video

The teen lands himself in hot water once again next week when he picks out his next victim – Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard). They've come face to face before at the STC, and now Brody's on the outside world, he's not looking to make amends. Daniel is working away when Brody attempts to wind him up, and spills his drink all over Daniel's papers. Lisa spots the altercation and threatens to arrest him from harassment. Carla Connor (Alison King) is gobsmacked to see him being handcuffed and being led to the station. When the pair get there, Brody empties his pockets and Lisa confiscates a bottle of white pills – not knowing that they actually contain the medication for his epilepsy. As viewers of the ITV soap know, the youngster suffered a fit earlier this week, found fitting on the ground outside of the Rovers Return. Found by Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) and Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien), they rushed him to the hospital and discovered his condition.
