It's pretty obvious really but this year is heading the same way as 2020 in terms of staycation says Nick Lomas to the BBC.

Posted on 16/01/2021 15:48 by CornersteadyYes about your second paragraph
We should start a bet on who that will be?
Of course it could also be a tactic to get people booking? (like me)

Ha ha, 😁 No one springs to mind, honestly.
I have a plan though. We could form little groups and take advantage of each other’s drive to park up on. Wales, Lakes, North East, South Yorkshire, Wiltshire, East Yorks, Cornwall...... Have to be careful about double booking though🤣 All it needs is a tap, a bin, a plug into garage, a sewer access, hand sanitiser and some disinfectant wipes👍
Scotland? We need a willing Scot or two........😁

Posted on 16/01/2021 16:02 by TinwheelerThat article is dated August 2020 but it's quite concerning that folk think they can jab and go. I foresee the possibility of massive refunds or lost deposits and holiday companies in trouble.😕

“That article is dated August 2020”
My apologies, I should have checked. It’s just that I’d heard something on the news the other day, where a TUI spokesperson was saying that bookings were at similar levels to those quoted (from memory). What it does show though is that there are quite a lot of folks out there who’s intention is to travel abroad. It could well end in tears.
Posted on 16/01/2021 16:33 by TakethedogalongSee you on the M5👍 Will leave you spare garage key, then you can go through to garden, but please water tomatoes if you don’t mind😂
Posted on 16/01/2021 15:36 by TinwheelerTbh, the pictures we saw of ram jam full sites last year were enough to make me stay at home.
Edit: Whoops, I've just seen Brue's link in the Easter thread.

Freddy there's an update which I expect you heard or read..."Over 50s rush to book holidays" BBC LINK
Can't help thinking. like you, there might be a rush to cancel unfortunately as the vaccination programme is going to take quite a long time to reach all those intended age groups.
