The gov shoukd outlaw price hikes during school holidays.
Job done.
Agreed, I work in a job which only allows holidays during school/collge holiday periods, and it costs me a fortune to go away.
On a side, I would carry this onto certain goods as well, where the price is set for every retailer.

It was introduced by Tony fucking BlairIt's the only way. Most of the people who vote for them get screwed. It prevents families who can't pay the hike. It disrupts kids schooling. Everyone needs a break. It's fuckibg highway robbery and an example of a cartel fixing prices.
It needs tackled.

No, he instructed schools to stop parents from taking their children on holiday during term time, whilst at the same time doing exactly that with his kids.What, he instructed the travel mob to hike prices during school holidays?
The same time it was enacted he took his three kids out of their school for a three week skiing holiday.

Its an interesting idea but i will wager the government will say its already here with most stuff like for like costing the same between the major supermarkets.
What does irk is the cost of healthy eating in this country compared to stuffing your face with shit and that is something that needs to be looked at.
Sugar and salt are killers and something needs to be done.
That said its a separate argument to brexit and for another thread if someone wants to start it.

He forgot that they do this because of the hike.
It was probably at the same time as he and W were planning sending other people's sons to fight.

The holiday companies wouldn't give a fuck. They would move the high price options to match it.

Yes but if you plan for that spike by chartering more planes to more places you can still make money.

Yes. Anyway the government can't interfere due to the fact price fixing is illegal under EU law. We would have to leave the EU.Yes but if you plan for that spike by chartering more planes to more places you can still make money.

So hoteliers in Blackpool and holiday cottage owners in Cornwall would be obliged either to level down their summer prices or level up their winter rates? In either case, the likely result would be them going out of business.
A great idea from people who don't understand anything about commerce.
