Flathead Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Weather matters an awful lot to most people, otherwise there wouldn't be so many threads on here dedicated to it. 3 weeks of decent weather in the UK and suddenly it's the best place on Earth. I really don't think this site is representative of 'most people'.......do you? This site is for people who want to, or have emigrated......not the whole human race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest26012 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 We usually went abroad in July/August because hubs had set holidays, we would have gone more in the winter months if we could have. But if the weather was good we went south to Cornwall, Devon with the caravan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 No one is going abroad this year which proves that the UK is the best place for a holiday.... Did anyone seriously ever drought it.:biggrin: Deputy chief executive Howard Millar said there had been a "weakness" in late bookings this summer, which were normally "the cream" for Ryanair, as he blamed the hot weather keeping people from wanting to book a holiday abroad. He said average fares would have been almost 10% higher without the heatwave, adding: "Our cream will be a little thinner. We'll just have to get by." http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/jul/29/ryanair-profits-hit-uk-heatwave One thing ive noticed lately is how many are mooching off for weekends/long weekends away in Europe,all the lads off the site ive just finished went regular,funny enuf Benidorm was one of the most popular,ive never been,but me mate in work reckons its hard to get thru a hundred quid a day,thats food,the lot,he went recently with his wife,total for flights and 3 nights b+b was £250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perthbum Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Perthbum.. As hard as it is for you to believe - people dont just go on holiday for the weather. Im sure the majority of people are still going ahead with their holiday plans Hoff only goes for the weather,,fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celt Down Under Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I do love the UK,but I also love packing,going to the airport,the flights,and then landing in aanother country,with a completely different culture.As much as I love Australia,I spent 30 yrs holidaying in that country,and yearned for some new experiences.!Travelling is one of our passions!Been to some truly amazing places. You could stay in the UK and go to Scotland...........or Wales............or Bradford, and experience a totally different culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the UK had weather like this all the time no one would leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
