Some people may have been to or seen everything they want to experience in the UK. I travel the UK a lot but mainly for events like gigs or sport. Can't remember the last time I went anywhere in the UK just for the sake of going to see that place. I'm sure there are some great places in the UK I haven't seen but there are none on my list of places I want to go to. European cities is a different matter. Still plenty of them I want to get to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I hasnt realised that the only reason for holidaying abroad is to get blootered for a week/eat fry upsThanks to D.A.F.C for that wee social observation. Fucking hell..... Snobbery absolutely oozing out of these posts. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've seen the models to date, right? I think one thing that has been absolutely clear over the last 12 months is that modelling is incredibly difficult, and therefore not very accurate. The current trend also appears to be to err on the side of caution, and avoid the backlash if the models are out by too much in the wrong direction. It's why basing the decisions for the running of an entire country on mathematical models of one virus leads to decisions being made that are not far off proving to be problematic to get out of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying life by trying to escape reality. I haven't had a drink at all this year but reading your posts are pushing me close to a 4 day binge. Not everyone who wants a holiday is a Carling swigging moron and when you've been stuck in the same house for coming up to a calendar year, it's entirely reasonable that some folk want to travel to another country for a break. We're all eager to see the end of this and nobody wants to see our progress hindered, but dial down this shite a bit. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely at least some of them are at it for the purposes of making political points?! If some of those comments are representative of even 5% of the country, we are in for one hell of a mental health crisis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVID-19 was not taking out vast numbers of young and healthy people like H1N1 influenza did in 1918, so what we have experienced is nothing particularly drastic as pandemics go and we now have vaccines available that are pretty much ending it as a serious health problem. Please try to get your hysteria under control 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a factor when going abroad for me. Seen some interesting games in Tenerife, Pisa, Agadir, and Faro, among others - none of which Mrs WRK saw coming at time of booking. We've had the usual overt trips to Barcelona, Milan, Leeds and the like as well.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's the impact of the vaccine fully kicking in on transmission, or just the impact that being in lockdown for this period of time is having. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
