...anyone could see what would happen, I won't be going anywhere for a year hopefully by then the airlines etc would have sorted their staffing issues. You'd have to be radio rental to try and get away now.

//What prompts a person to think 'oh we'll have a holiday, lets go on Jubilee/Bank Holiday weekend?//
Because it’s “half term”. It seems everybody has to go on at least a week’s holiday at half term. When I was at school we had, usually, three days off (never a whole week). My parents wouldn’t dream of taking their holidays to coincide with mine and we certainly didn’t go away. Nobody I knew did. I first noticed the half term phenomenon about twenty years ago. Suddenly, everybody I needed to contact was off. Any of their colleagues I did manage to contact would announce their absence due to half term as if it was a given: “He’s off. It’s half-term.”
//Airports packed, roads packed, isn't there a cost of living crisis with starving children.//
No.

I went to Lundy last August. It's worth seeing, but not worth going to see.
Ryzen, this is my reply to an OP from May 13th re poverty.
//As I've said before, there is no poverty in this country. That's what the govt thinks, anyway. The govt sees people with mobile phones, flatscreen tvs, family car, satellite/cable subscription, computer/laptop/tablet, gymn/sportsclub season ticket, foreign holidays, regular consumers of alcohol/cigarettes. Maybe not so much cigarettes, but definitely alcohol, which is more harmful than anything but is promoted and encouraged nationally. Not to mention all the recreational drugs too.

Yes, DTC, I could show equivalent poverty here. Any yet we look at all these ordinary families trying to get away for holidays. I suspect that society is becoming ever more fractured and the definition of 'poverty' is becoming stretched and distorted (to the detriment of the real poor).
To get back to the question, yes, anyone could see what would happen. And no, I certainly won't be trying to go anywhere - it's bad enough living in an area which people come to for their holidays!
Th Airport stories are appalling and I seriously can't believe what the airlines have done - or not done. Restrictions were eased in January! Plenty of time to reorganise and plan for this holiday - not a great secret was it?
At the turn of the last century there was a lot of concern about people selling non-existent gold-mines and other desirable items - the sellers were deemed to be fraudsters and criminals.
So now we have airlines selling tickets for non-existent flights ......... that rings a bell somewhere.

//Airlines want to employ E/U workers to fill the vacant jobs Grant shapps says no//
Well EU countrys cant find enough staff either, look at whats happpening at Amsterdam and Frankfurt for just two examples, there struggling with staff shortages. Brexit is an insignificant issue against the fact that all the airports across the world layed off load's of staff when tourist air travel pretty much stopped through covvid and now they found other jobs.... whod want to work in an airport working unsocial hours and having to deal with the mess.
But you dont want the truth gulliver, just your fantasy world where you say you left britain (before Brexit!) but you spend all your time talking about it

Traveling by train can easily be called the most romantic way to travel. Since childhood, I remember movies with epic scenes on the train that takes my breath away. So, because of my love of trains this weekend, we have a trip planned. My family and I decided to do a tour of our country, Germany. To that end, we found the website https:/
