BBC had an article about a couple who have booked 2 holidays at the same time. One in Devon and one in the canary islands, so if the Spanish one can not go ahead then they will go to the Devon one. They are taking advantage of the Devon one wanting to give holidaymakers peace of mind by offering free cancellations. They have no intention of going to the Devon one. Despicable behaviour IMO. Their faces and names are on the report, if I were the hotel and I saw that BBC report I would be contacting them and telling them to Foc off.
Apparently many people are doing the same thing, all these fully booked hotels - come the time they are going to find themselves fully empty.

Yep despicable. Follows on from people booking multiple restaurants, then choosing on the night which one to go to.
All taking advantage of the 'no deposit' schemes run by venues desperate for trade.

Did you stop to consider *why* they had refused it? Watch this documentary on BBC iPlayer: "Extra Life: A Short History of Living Longer" and you may begin to understand why people from different cultures may simply not trust the motivations of people who have, so often, despised them and treated them as unwelcome pariahs because of their religion/ origins/ colour of their skin...

Holidays in the UK are still "proper" holidays!

"a holiday spent in one's home country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions" If anything I've found it great to discover new parts of the country that I would have never thought to see if I'd had the option to travel abroad

Remember that dictionaries only report *usage*, so if people consistently misuse a word, that misuse will enter the dictionary, whether it's the correct usage of the word or not.

Had my second AZ vaccination today. Hopefully like the first dose, no side effects. Brilliantly organised by NHS staff and an army of volunteers. No politicians involved  Interesting to hear Jeremy Hunt lambasting national Test and Trace today, and insisting it would be much better run at a local level.

From what I can tell from listening to others, the second has far less after effects
