As soon as the lockdown is lifted.I ask because both my husband and I are over seventy and my husband has been notified that he is very vulnerable because of some health issues.I was thinking maybe a fully serviced pitch where we can use our own facilities?

You give the very reasons why we do need the lockdown/social distancing, Heethers, for our own benefit and that of others we meet as we travel around.
Posted on 25/04/2020 12:40 by peedeeI had a note from my bank yesterday, they have reduced the interest rate to 0.1 percent. This morning I decide my holiday money was better invested in Premium Bonds so I transferred it all. I am not planning going anway this year so there it will stay until it is needed and who knows perhaps I might have a windfall.

Posted on 25/04/2020 12:08 by TinwheelerI don’t know about you, Debs, but I’m dreading the next two bank hols which are sure to bring an influx of selfish non-compilers to the region. I sincerely hope enforcement is alive and well.

Agreed! I suspect the current situation will be maintained for at least the next two reviews to cover those May BHs (and probably for some time beyond). There is already plenty of evidence of folk flouting the rules - the traffic comments on here and elsewhere are ample proof of that. The enforcement needs to be continued and maybe restrenghtened. At the same time, as I've said elsewhere, sooner or later (preferably sooner IMHO) the government need to be sharing their plans for the way forward, otherwise that flouting of the rules will, sadly become more widespread.,

I think they’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t, M, but I do sense the starting of some unrest although I’ve not witnessed it first hand.
I agree that enforcement needs strengthening but also the grey areas need clarification so everyone sings from the same song sheet. How we can hammer home the ethos of social responsibility when we seem to have so many 'me, me, me' types around is yet another issue.
Posted on 25/04/2020 13:24 by moulesyMrs M had two £25 prizes this week and two last month. Not life changing but a nice surprise and far in excess of any interest payments we'd be likely to get from any savings account at the moment.

WizzAir has announced that it will restart flights on 1st May to destinations such as Budapest, Lisbon and Tenerife ... Social distancing in a budget airline plane? Even with middle seat empty? All that recycled cabin air? Just hope that the droplets will be Dettol [other brands are available, including DonEstos ..].
Keep well clear of Luton ...

Posted on 25/04/2020 13:38 by moulesyCrazy! Just crazy! Presumably they've checked that passengers will be allowed to disembark and be made welcome when they reach their destination?

Social distancing for embarkation? 'Please arrive at the airport 21 days before the time of your flight and brings lots of sandwiches too ...'
Why have we bothered with social isolation? How many areas will people travel from to reach Luton?
'Flights will depart from Terminal Stupidity' ...
