Not that I was planning to go anywhere this year mind you.

You'd have to be nuts to go on holiday abroad at the moment. You might end up stuck there for months if a local lockdown happens.

Thank god. Will put an end to the Mrs nagging about it.

I haven't read the legislation but I assume there would be provision for work related travel which cannot be done remotely. He's a travel journalist so he may still be able to travel.

It's effectively already illegal during lockdown for you to travel abroad for a holiday. The difference from next week is legislation is being introduced following the end of "stay at home" and you can be fined £5,000.

Or simply state 'Education' on your form, and then visit a couple of museums.

A made up job like a Mafia Don?

Please, please can we class Cornwall as being abroad, go on, please

 

[paradigm]

Please, please can we class Cornwall as been abroad, go on, please

Well they clearly don’t speak English properly, so I guess we should.

You're going to get a surge of visitors from Monday and Easter is coming. I've heard St Breward is the place to go...

Sing along folks

Yeah, well unless you're rich and own a home abroad then you're exempt.

Seems crazy to me, just test at both ends, we went on holiday easily enough last year after a clear test, masks on for the flight, simple really.

 

[Reality|Bites]

Test both ends but if only one person tests positive the whole flight would have to isolate for the duration of the holiday?

Tbh had my first jab and after 2nd was hoping for maybe a vaccine passport to get across to sandander on ferry later on this year, maybe compulsory cabin

No you have to show a negative test to get on the plane in the first place.

 

[Reality|Bites]

Would you get a refund if you tested positive? I know why ask you lol

When we went last year the test had to be 72hrs before the flight, which allowed for the hotel to be cancelled with 24hrs notice. Also the flights could be rearranged if you tested positive, luckily we were negative

Test both ends...

Oral and anal swabs will definitely reduce the queues down to those really keen to go on holiday .
