I suspect when a pinch of normality returns, many people will not be too keen on a vacation abroad and the UK roads will be rammed with holidaymakers & daytrippers

I expect you are right but looking on the bright side more opportunities to meet new acquaintances.

Maybe they'll head down here leaving it a bot freer for us up north wink


I've got my fingers crossed for an autumn driving holiday thumbs


Yes we too, its all booked on the Santander ferry in September and so far both Brittany Ferries and the Hotels are not cancelling or offering refunds. Brittany Ferries in particular are still saying that services are not going to be cancelled at this time and so we are also in a Mexican standoff about a May crossing. We definitely wont travel in May and so will have to accept the cost if BF don’t cough up. I imagine there are few environments that Covid 19 likes better than a cruise ship, airliner, train or overnight ferry and so it is ridiculous that they are maintaining the delusion of normal operations.
On this note. British Airways have cancelled our flight to Majorca on late May but have not cancelled the return leg one week later, is this flagrant profiteering? Also the agency in Majorca through whom we booked a small villa, are not responding to requests for a refund even though we are within the period of cancellation and in any event caught up in a worldwide epidemic. I’m guessing that we are their cash flow and they are not giving it up. All in all, we may suffer £1500 in unused travel costs this year, it is our year of retirement and with my pension plummeting it is rather annoying on many levels.
