Bear in mind cruises were absolutely brutalised in the first month or so backlast spring, which probably ha some impact on this decision. 

It's not just their cruises, it's ALL saga holidays.

However that's not really my point, it's more about the logistics involved in practice and whether it's actually practical or indeed even possible ??

Ok, so quite a few questions remain unanswered here, such as how do people prove they've had the "jab" and how do the company propose finding this out ?

Next issue would be that it's unlikely that anyone in the "under 70" category will have received their "2" jabs by any earlier than mid summer so are the company proposing that the earliest booking is likely to be the Autumn (given that they want a FURTHER 2 weeks after the 2nd jab has been received) ??

So basically it's the over 80's residing in a part of the country that has been quickest in rolling out the vaccine, care home residents and the extremely vulnerable that will be the only ones permitted to go on a holiday and only if they turn up with a wee badge that says "i got my vaccine today"  ????

I think not...........

I don't know about England, but the Scottish government's current plan would see everyone in all vulnerable categories (right down to over 50s) given both doses by the end of May.

In terms of providing proof of vaccination, the onus for that will be on the traveller. I went to Ghana this time last year and had to provide proof of having the yellow fever vaccination - if I hadn't brought my documentation then I wouldn't have got in to the country.

I must have missed UBI being top of Corbyn's policy list.

No but you would have seen improvements in the benefits systems, a fairer furlough and a higher minimum wage if Corbyn and McDonnell were (by some sort of miracle) able to implement their program.

You can also consider something like free broadband to be extra money in all our pockets.

I think the NHS have enough to do at the moment without hiring a whole new team of back office staff to issue would be travellers with covid certificates.

Again, the point i'm making is that nobody knows if and how this is even possible or what form it would likely take, so until this is public knowledge then it would appear to be a load of utter nonsense to me.

The priority should be loading Leitch and indeed anyone else hankering after places of worship as a priority into Mons Meg and firing them into the Firth of Forth.

Typical Greenockian jakeball response.

Musical Youth should have brought a version of their song just for you lot with the lyrics changed to

“Pass the Buckie down the left hand side”.

El Dorado is the tonic wine of choice on the Clyde Riviera, you imbecile.

I don't take much comfort from someone getting arrested after they've ruined my day. Only a few years ago Scotrail had to strike to avoid them dispensing with guards.

Guards have been dispensed with on proper ScotRail trains for decades so I'm not sure where you're going with this. They are no better positioned to deal with a situation than the clippies.

No, simpering Helen Lovejoy losers like yourself can get to f**k. Travel by bus instead.

When I had to get a vaccination and provide proof of vaccination to go somewhere my GP charged me for it as it wasn't NHS treatment.

Wasn't much.  About £10 I think.  Was a few years ago though so inflation might have upped it but I'd suspect most people wouldn't mind paying the fee.

Loving the persistent myth btw that 'the wellbeing of children' is being seriously tested by spending less time doing school work and more time in the house/fannying around outside with their mates anyway.

In terms of sacrifices this amounts to as close as zero as it gets right now.

They used to give you the yellow fever vaccination in the queue for custom clearance if you didnt have for vaccination booklet/proof in various west african countries.

First time i seen it i was a bit in shock...none of that sterile room nonesense just get your sleeved rolled up and get an injection whilst waiting in sweltering airport and with no idea if the needle had been sterilised

Hardly. Printing off a sheet for each jabee at the GP's and signing them would not require an extra back office. Little admin change to the bumf handed out now with the jag.

Aye because nobody at all can drink on a train without ruining everyone else's trip.

If you're going to ban anything, ban hen do's on trains, or full stop. 

Mate of mine was thoroughly pissed off when a very drunken group on a hen do got on the London train at Newcastle. His mood was somewhat improved when one of the party gave him a BJ in the train toilet about an hour later. Every cloud and all that.
