Kane57 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Had a wonderful three weeks at our place in Torrevieja. Had our temperatures checked on arrival and had to hand in a declaration about our general health and where we could be contacted etc. Really quiet, but managed to go out most days for something to eat and a few drinks. Was very pleased with the locals and their approach to mask and handwashing discipline - really showed up how we are doing it here. Lots of spot-checks by el plod in terms of bars etc checking that everyone was complying. Felt safe. Was weird being on a Ryanair plane and there being only 40-50 people on, mind. That said, UK Border coppers couldn't give a shit about the form we had to complete about quaratine. Slack bastards.

Kane57 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Aye was in the arrivals hall getting my suitcase and overheard at least two separate people saying to their travelling mates that they weren't going to bother. Can understand it really, if the border force don't give a shit it doesn't really impress upon some folk the severity of the risks involved (to them and to others).

Think very few folk been checked on and fines fished out are virtually non existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not heard from anyone since getting back a week ago today. Not expecting to either tbf, but the wife is petrified of being fined so we're stopping in. Felt like a right badman earlier for nipping to the dog shit bin across the road (her insistence, at midnight) to drop off a few bags from around the garden as she won't take him for a walk either.

Leyther_Matt Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 After a couple of nights in Llandudno and Friday night in Scarborough, we’ve been in York since yesterday dinner time. First time I’ve spent any considerable time here apart from rugby games and a fleeting visit as a kid. Think it’s the only place in the UK other than Edinburgh where I’ve visited and instantly thought ‘I could live here’. Range of bars and restaurants is unreal. Riverside an absolute picture in the sunshine. Even the buskers are a step above the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshape Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Got back from Rome last night, should have been yesterday morning but missed the pissing flight back to Manchester so had to fly back to Newcastle and get back from there. Only dampener on a brilliant 4 days. Quickly falling in love with Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself a quiet cottage in the sticks etc. Take a jumper and enjoy the autumn shades. At least you won't have to give a Bolton address when booking!
