Why Holidays In The Uk Called Staycations?

[dave50]

It is still a holiday even if it's a holiday taken in the UK. Don't have to get on a plane to have a great holiday. Horrible made up word.

And in the Young Ones version of UC the teams are actually one above the other. For years I thought that was how it was ...

I didnt go abroad until I was in my late twenties, but I'd had a holiday every year of my childhood.

My Dad only had two weeks holiday a year and thats when we went away. Imagine his response to it being called Annual Leave!

Come on TTT, out with it :-)

[ToraToraTora]

out with what? I realise that we are doing charity work here.

It's for poor people, to make them feel as though they've been away?
All the clever people have emigrated.

[ToraToraTora]

"I totally agree with you! You don't have to go overseas and cross the oceans to say that you were on holiday. For instance, I'm from Utah, and my schedule doesn't allow me to go on long-distance trips. Last winter, my fiancee and I went to Colorado to explore the surrounding area. First things first, we visited Denver. It was an ok-ish city. I can't praise it more, even if you would hold a gun to my head. However, we decided to see one more city on the way back home, and I randomly found this link: https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/united-states/grand-junction/, so we stopped to visit Grand Junction.
Overall our holiday was good, and I don't regret taking it!"

'Television' isn't a good comparison. A television has always been a television, a staycation is properly a holiday
