People tend to holiday where their money goes further and that's certainly true of Britain atm. Its also true that a staggering per cent of Brits are choosing to holiday in the UK this year. Lets not kid ourselves its because the scenery is more beautiful and the weather's more reliable! Have you looked at inflation figures compared to real wages recently? Haven't you noticed the ongoing mass sales or a number of shops presently boarding up their windows?

The Euro is presently too expensive and so is the dollar. All-inclusive packages abroad are presently high for those Brits going abroad because people simply don't have as much surplus cash.

I didn't say the pound had nothing to do with it but there are other issues more significant ATM.

In my experience people would ordinarily be put off coming to Britain with the current terrorist threat and would usually put safety concerns above saving a few quid, but I feel people are showing ISIS that won't bow down to their threats. People can get quite determined when dealing with such cretins.
