Honestly don't understand the rush, maybe some of these are going home for a visit but even so, also some school age kids in there, haven't they missed enough school :facepalm:

Update

The photo has been taken incoming though I think, at the UK border?

Been reported you have to wear a mask on beaches in Portugal
The world is mostly filled with morons

That has been the case for the last year in Spain as well, you wear a mask at all times apart from swimming or when sitting on a towel :laugh:

Makes for great holiday pictures, people are soft in the head.

i would love to go abroad, but I wont go until the destination has been pretty much fully vaccinated and I can go maskless in most public spaces. I wouldnt mind if they continued the mask requirement at airports/on planes indefinitely. I think thats just smart at all times

DouglasS 18-05-2021 11:26 AM

I’d personally wait until at least July, feel like most of the vulnerable will be vaccinated across Europe, and things should be under better control here with probably all 30+ being vaccinated and all 50+ having their second doses. Don’t think people should be willing to give up another summer though because some vulnerable choose not to get vaccinated and then end up dying..

The amount of vaccinated people dying is still way less than those dying of cancer, heart disease, and a lot of illnesses actually, and so it is just something we will have to live with and it’s another form of illness that will kill people.

I definitely wouldn't be travelling for a holiday, Luke may be travelling to Bulgaria for the world championships in MMA though in August, you're allowed if you're competing, shame we won't be able to go and watch though [emoji26]

It's just daft for a whole host of reasons. The obvious transmission risk is one... the other is that we should be holidaying/daytripping locally to support local economies. You don't even necessarily have to stay away from home to have a "holiday", take a couple of weeks off and plan a tonne of activities within driving range. We do a big "day-trip" every Saturday and have been known to drive 3+ hours each way... but we've discovered some amazing places :shrug:.

I'm going on a short business trip to Sweden next week and I can already tell that this amount of people is going to piss me right off :laugh:
A colleague of mine went there last week and told me the airports were fully packed :skull:

PS: yeah I already blamed my management for a trip that can be done virtually but you know...

Nicky91 18-05-2021 01:41 PM

nope, never going abroad anymore


still in doubt if we're even going on holiday in own country this year again


it depends on wether we can be vaccinated or not


my parents have refused the AstraZeneca, they only would want pfizer


and i myself am still unsure about all vaccines, since i see there is more risk of side effects with younger people from the vaccine

That will result in some unfortunate tan lines.

You'd have to whizz back to your apartment balcony and wear your mask over your eyes and forehead to even it out.

Get a Top Quality Mask.
Have a great week in Sweden.

Its not really a Holiday is it? Who wants to wear a mask on the Beach. Some sort of normality isnt that far away....I would rather wait and enjoy it without the restrictions.

it cant get packed because wont allow you on the beach if it is too busy and you have to sit two meters away from the nearest person

Marsh. 18-05-2021 02:42 PM

Crackers the lot of them. We're just about getting ourselves sorted and people are eager to go elsewhere. We all want a holiday but what's an extra 2 months when we've already had a year and it puts getting our country operating nornally at risk?

It’s as good as taking a bath with your clothes on.

Thanks mate, I'm going there to yell at some people but hopefully I will have a nice time in Stockholm afterwork. And it's such a nice city with people actually being very vigilant due to Covid etc Not like France :joker:
It's mostly the flights that I'm a bit wary of because I'm not vaccinated yet.

That’s my thoughts on it, too.

Same. It wouldn't really feel like a holiday. Seems like a waste of time atm, and money.

Scarlett. 18-05-2021 03:19 PM

To be honest, I'd rather wait a bit longer, if you go now, the country you are in could easily be locked down, then you'd be stuck abroad and it just all sounds so stressful. Going somewhere in the UK however, you can relax more.

AnnieK 18-05-2021 03:28 PM

Nope, not this year

bots 18-05-2021 03:32 PM

the numbers going abroad will drop like a stone after a couple of weeks, there are always some that just cant wait.

I was reading earlier that people are not returning to the high street in significant numbers yet, so if they are not doing that, they won't be taking trips abroad for sure
