Covid and travel discussion

It's very much circumstantial too.

I'm 34, single, no kids.....so why the fuck would I holiday at home?
I'm fortunate to be in a position to be able to go wherever I want, whenever I want (obv subject to finances and whatnot) so it just wouldn't make sense to me to use my precious annual leave, that I work hard for, against a holiday in the UK.

Even with the very limited foreign options once Covid hit, I've managed to get to Zante, Halkidiki, Majorca, Gran Canaria, Madeira, Perugia and Porto since July 2020.
Just before Covid went crazy I was out in Philippines for 2 weeks....what that cost me for that trip would likely only get me 10 days in Devon in the August school holidays.

Perhaps when I'm older, or if personal circumstances change, then I might start seriously considering domestic holidays but for now they hold no interest to me whatsoever and I make no apologies for that.

Perhaps the high horse posters instructing people to holiday in the UK will finally grasp that not everyone wants to, for a myriad of valid reasons.

No doubt indeed. How can you ever be wrong.
Why do you and others come on Blue Moon to throw insults to fellow Blues and call.people names because they might have a different opinion to you. No answe required.
From the picture you post you seem to have a strange imagination.

I think anybody trying to belittle people for not wanting a long weekend in Skegness as their well earned holiday deserve a little ridicule.
My imagination is fine and dandy thanks.

Not for me it wouldn't. If I want to be out eating my dinner, I don't want someone with a guitar spoiling it!

I agree with the rest of your post though.

Now I've got the image of those dreadfully loud Mexican singers you see haranguing diners in my head lol. No I meant in the pub, I love my live music in a pub, not karaoke though and some drunk murdering Angels for the umpteenth time.
 
I really struggle to see why HMG get so uptight about foreign travel. If they want to put restrictions on re-entering that's fine and their perogative to do so and everyone knows those restrictions may change. Quite why they want to get into rows about where someone is travelling to is beyond me-after all they could be leaving for several months or indeed for ever. When we go for a couple of months in August, I can easily argue that I am no longer a burden on the NHS in any way for that period.

I have just recently done a lodge in Wales for a few days with the family and it rained everyday. Tomorrow we're going to a detached luxury barn in Skidby for my dad's 90th birthday. It's nice to spend time with my family all together and a change of scene, but even at 90 pre covid and with sky high insurance my dad would have gone abroad.

I understand people like holidays here though and I guess if you like walking or outdoor sports it suits many.

He requires a wheelchair at the airport now due to the long walks to immigration and the luggage area, but aside from that he's fine. His insurance is high but he's happy to pay it. Fingers crossed he has a holiday to Almunaca booked for November.

In the Mere at the moment and quite a big spaced out site. We are in the owners section by the lake and a little bit rough n ready. Our van is at least 20 years old and was under the impression Haven imposed age limits before you had to pack up and move off.

Mickeys were having a large group party of 20 + last night on the green with copious amounts of ethanol and party games. At 22.00 hundred hours it was kicking off big time and an inhebriated woman was yelling "get out get out my van you fuckrr and don't come back" Ten minutes later the bald headed miscreant came wobbling past us waving his finger at the sky whilst babbling incoherant shite.

Pub's OK and one choice of lager Carlsburg or Carling at £4.70 a pint. We can't go in to see Rory the Tiger and friends as the entertainments extra.

The Mere is a nice walk with lots of camouflaged hides. We sat inside one for half an hour and saw some ducks a kestrel and a brace of 118's.

Went in the Royal Toby across the way as Denis recommended it and it was nothing short of gash. Would sooner have been force fed pie-hella.

Woken up at 04.00.am by a wood pigeons tap dancing on our roof and making their distinctive morning call. For any non birdy's amongst you it's two woo's followed by a prolonged woooo and repeated many times to fuck off the occupier. Also my car is covered in bird droppings, leaves pollen dust and sap.

However the weathers lovely and a breaks a break and not a pcp test in sight. Wish You Were Here : /

Why was the woman yelling at you to get out of her van ?
