Re: Coronavirus
The thing is is Cornwall going to be much fun when the whole world is on fistral beach? . I wonder if city breaks will be just as Juicy.
Re: Coronavirus
Same here - I'm getting less and less confident about getting back home to see my parents this year.
We have taken the last two weeks of August off and will probably book the ferry anyway but I still think there'll be quarantine and social distancing requirements which will kybosh it all. We'll need to find some Self Catering near where my folks live that will take deposit bookings but they're rare in Ireland. We've already lost £1500 on flights from last summer so don't want to blow another wedge of cash this summer

Re: Coronavirus
Cornwall's a big place - just avoid the main tourist traps. When we went last Aug we were surprised it was nowhere near as busy as we'd expected, where we were.
Keeping my fingers crossed that we'll be able to go back down there at the end of May.

Re: Coronavirus
Everywhere will be price-gouging this summer (assuming we're allowed to go anywhere) - the holiday industry has a lot of lost revenue to make up for.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.
Re: Coronavirus
I don't think the rest of the world will open up without lengthy quarantines as no other country is as vaccinated as we are. Maybe the USA and Israel...
If I'm stuck in the UK then I'm happy enough with the beaches of the Costa del Kent rather then paying 200% over for some staycation.

How about not having a sig at all?

Yellow card for Mito
A staycation is staying at home, not staying in the UK.
First warning.

Re: Coronavirus
Glad you had your jab Simon. Don't forget that the protection doesn't kick in for a few weeks.

I thought that was the one that was most effective against the SA variant? I'm sure I heard that somewhere. They're probably only saying things like that quietly though so that people don't demand a certain vaccine.
