A tourist on holiday in Majorca, Spain has recorded an amusing video showing fellow British tourists getting up early to reserve sun loungers by the hotel pool.

In the clip, which was filmed just before 8 am local time on August 14, the tourists wait for the pool to open and then rush in and reserve the sun loungers with their towels.

Minutes later all the loungers are reserved but everyone has gone back to bed.

"These were all British people," the filmer wrote online.
