Does it really matter?? :'(

It matters to the whole UK Holiday Industry when the national media are implying that only going abroad is a "proper holiday".

Everyone knew

Of course they did...  :rolleyes
[/quote]I don't see why you are getting so upset about it - its a general term generally taken by most normal people to mean that you are not travelling abroad for a holiday nothing more to read into it than than that. I have not picked up on any media implying that staying in this country is "not a proper holiday" - of course it is. You seem overly touchy about it for some reason, perhaps you should go and have a little vent in the "Todays what gets my goat section"

Regardless of what it means, I hate the word and so does pretty much everyone I speak to about it.

Best to ignore what 'popular' media says.
A 'jab' is a boxer's punch. I've had a vaccination.

I don't care for it either, but I wouldn't let it ruin my whole day.

Anyway. It's a play on 'vacation' which is another bloody Americanism.
Here we go on holiday.
So the correct term is 'stoliday'.

Don't see? Or just "don't want to see"?

its a general term generally taken by most normal people to mean that you are not travelling abroad for a holiday

Oh dear, fazersharp, is that the best you can do? "generally taken"? "by most normal people"?!

So anyone who disagrees with you isn't "normal"?  :rolleyes

nothing more to read into it than than that. I have not picked up on any media implying that staying in this country is "not a proper holiday" - of course it is.

Ah, and because *you* haven't seen it, it does not exist. Well, that clearly settles the argument...!  :rollin

And now you resort to trying to patronise me in the hope that, somehow, this will give your argument more validity.

Whatever, you seem to be arguing just for the sake of it, so please enjoy getting the last word in on this subject.

Anyone making use of the lateral flow tests everyone can now order in the post or collect from the chemist.

I've got a box of them here that I got from Laly's a couple of months ago (they have a two year lifespan)

The Market I sell at in London require stallholders to upload a pic of a negative test the night before to be safe :thumbup

[/quote]Better than nothing i suppose and I don't know what else they could do but someone could easily redo a positive one with just the plain liquid and post that picture.


I picked mine up from the local chemist, they gave me 2 boxes - 14 tests. Visiting some elderly realitives so have had 2 before I visit.

Someonle could or they could just photoshop the picture etc. There's plenty of ways of faking a negative result, but in the BDSM community, people tend to be a bit more responsible about their behaviour.

Also they do a temperature check before allowing everyone into the venue, masks are worn (of various types  ), there's plenty of room for social distancing and there's a "one way" system to help keep people apart.

[/quote]Oh I see. When you said selling at a market I thought you had a stall next to someone selling cucumbers on a fruit and veg stall. :rollin
