Also things like the rail prices etc, you can’t tell me those things are full apart from when commuters are in them, get the price down. If I could jump on a train to London for £20 I would but it would be more like £200I can understand if a 4* hotel is a few grand for a couple of weeks but smaller crap hotels?
It's cheaper to rent a house for a few months in Cornwall than it is to go on holiday there...
No one has said it’s unthinkable to holiday in the uk.In normal times, absolutely yes. But these are not normal times and these decisions have consequences that potentially affect other people (the more people coming in and out of the country the more difficult to control the spread of variants). With that in mind is it so absolutely terrible and unthinkable to have a holiday in the UK this year?
Or based on a Uefa semi final and finalExactly right, and now that cases here are soaring many are rightly implementing quarantine rules on visitors from the U.K. What pissed me off was our government setting strict rules for entry into the U.K. from some countries that had a fraction of our case rate whilst leaving the door wide open for people coming in with the delta variant based on the prospects of a trade deal.

Well said. Anybody who comes on here moaning about people wanting to travel abroad, who themselves have been to a pub/restaurant/cinema should take a long, hard look at themselves.I assume you're also requesting people to eat at home and not go to restaurants?
And to drink at home rather than going down the boozer?
If people are travelling within the regulations set out by the Government then let them crack on, they are doing nothing wrong and should not be fucking guilt tripped into staying in the UK.
If YOU want to stay at home, then stay at home. I'm sure many others are doing the same this year, which is absolutely cool.
You don't see any of us in the 'foreign holiday' camp telling you staycationers to get your arses abroad, so equally you shouldn't be trying to dictate how someone spends their money and annual leave.
Anyone banging the staycation drum has also picked a really bad day....grey skies and pissing it down all day here; it's almost July, what a joke.
What about being in a tin can in the sky with 300 strangers ?Well said. Anybody who comes on here moaning about people wanting to travel abroad, who themselves have been to a pub/restaurant/cinema should take a long, hard look at themselves.
It’s quite obvious that indoor hospitality is going to spread the virus far more than any other activity. Britain’s obsession with going to the pub has probably killed quite a few people.

I just thought he was being a hypocrite and saying going to the pub would have killed people but happy to go in a plane for hoursAre they operating at full capacity?
A tin can with lots of strangers also accurately describes the London underground/overground lines at peak times.
Well of course it’s a risk. I hate flying anyway, but I do it because it gives me amazing holidays and memories. However filter system plus everybody wearing a mask is much safer than eating/drinking packed inside with people without masks.What about being in a tin can in the sky with 300 strangers ?
