Covid and travel discussion

Well said (I won’t quote you this time!)

I’m sure that these anti-holiday people are just saying these things to be working their mouth, with no thought on what’s being said.

As you lay out above, you’d be pretty daft to claim that the pub environment is safer at the moment.

I honestly believe the government have made things much worse by opening indoor hospitality too soon, but I can understand the economic pressures. As you’ve said several times, it’s a pity they aren’t more consistent and they should be applying the same economic argument to the travel sector.

Nobody is instructing anyone to do anything , aside from him saying people who go to the pub are killing people and to have a long hard look at themselves

What I actually said was that anybody who comes on here having a go at people who want to go on holiday AND are themselves going to pubs/restaurants need to have a long, hard look at themselves.

And I do believe that indoor hospitality is contributing to the deaths, why wouldn’t they?

The government have consistently got the travel arrangements wrong throughout this pandemic.
I have every sympathy for people working in this sector.

Yes I work near there and walk most lunch times around the terminals.
All 3 airports are dead and planes just being left to rot.
Its so sad and I don't see this situation improving.
 
Going Tenerife in October for 3 weeks and as an alternative I looked at accommodation in a UK seaside resort and it was approximately £1k more to holiday here. Add to that the cost of trains etc makes it a no for me. The uk is okay for the odd few days but having lived in most areas on the south coast and Devon there are few I enjoy returning to. The main drawback in this country is the unpredictable weather.

Send Boris the fucking bill.
If he shut down the flights from India quicker instead of dawdling we would be out of this mess now.

Exactly. It’s lovely if you’re rich live down south not far away by car and have a 2nd home there so can go when the weather is nice. For anyone that isn’t in that position, it’s an expensive gamble with the weather.

I went to the lakes for 2 days, lovely but cost me £300.
I don't enjoy everywhere else here in this country at all, it's expensive, the roads are horrible and most places are full of idiots. Abroad for me every time.
 
Just back from a week in Porto Santo. Only 20 people on the flight back!

ive had both vaccinations, PCR test before I went, another test at the airport this morning, day 2 and day 8 tests at the ready

lots of faff, hassle and expense but 5 * All Inc still considerably cheaper than a week in the U.K. Madness. What’s madder is Porto Santo (Madeira essentially) goes onto the green list as of Wednesday ….so those returning next week will be free to leave their house whilst I’m still stuck indoors isolating

Would have stayed another week if more time off work has been an option! Just to be able to leave the house earlier ….ludicrous

pS there are 5000 permanent residents of Porto Santo. More chance of me catching covid going to Bolton

Everyone in the resort has tested negative. Yet my sister and her two children both caught Covid last week but her covid free husband doesn’t have to isolate as he is on some pilot scheme doing lateral flow tests daily and providing he records negative results he’s free to move around as usual?!

I am beyond confused of the logic behind any of these rules
 
PS not read the whole thread but keep hearing stories of the track and trace Nazis knocking on to ensure people are isolating …..anyone got any first hand experience of this?
