Only yesterday uk government updated their list of counties it was safe to travel too. Spain was on that list. Yet another cock up in a long list of cock ups. Well done Boris. Tell you what let’s ignore the fact there is a huge surge in cases In Spain and bash on 👍🏼 In fact let’s all turn off the news forget this thing exists and crack on. Let’s pretend it’s been a practice exercise and it’s not really happened. Might book myself a week in Spain next week on that basis. how anyone can say this is a cock up beggars belief. This is precisely what we should be doing. It’s a fine balancing act. The continued existence of the UK Travel industry and public health. An unenviable task. But of course it’s the fault of boris 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffer cup 07 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 You might feel differently if you went on holiday last week feeling quite safe that on your return to Uk you could return to work and not lose two weeks pay because you had to isolate. Like i said yesterday the list of safe countries was revised and Spain was on it. So what has changed so dramatically in 24 hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 If I’m having to point that out its worrying. Anyone goes on holiday at the moment does so knowing the risks attached. If they don’t know the inherent risk then they shouldn’t be going anywhere other than an accompanied special needs holiday anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffer cup 07 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Crap, isolated spikes in Barcelona a few other regions. Generally most of Spain is ok. Lets not mention, Blackburn, Pendle, Hynburn,Leicester then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a personal choice but the risks are clear and will for the foreseeable and your should do so with open eyes. I’m away to Thailand in December and as it stands I’m in quarantine when I get back and not covered for it on my insurance. I know the risk. I decide at that point whether I go or not.

stevieb Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Spain went from 300 odd deaths a day to zero overnight as summer started. Fucking mental if you went there expecting it to be corona free. As it stands I've decided not to bother with a foreign holiday, not through fear of the virus but because of all the shite changes and uncertainty you deal with. Stories of nowt open in airports, masks on a plane, no trolley service and no idea of what's open in resorts now means I'm not planning a family holiday any time soon.

waffer cup 07 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 So why issue a revised list yesterday, Friday, saying Spain was safe to travel too. Its just bizarre. Its like the continued ban on travel to Portugal, they actuallyhave less cases than Spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s it though, the risk in going to parts of Spain is a lot less than going to Parts of England. People keep saying there is a risk going abroad, yet we are living in a country that many on here have happily pointed out day in day out is the worst in Europe and one of the worst in the world.

And would you go to these parts of England? Would you go boozing in Blackburn tomorrow? Weekend in Leicester? Answer would be no mate.

Haven’t been away for months and when lockdown ended, the wife and I spoke about going to see the parents in Spain - where we can effectively isolate with them. We decided not to, because (risks at the airport / on the plane aside) we didn’t want to risk the travel advice changing whilst we were there, leaving us stranded or facing quarantine on our return.

Absolutely spot on fella. The risk of travel advice changing is high on the list. COVID19 is that scary, it can and is changing daily. I love my travel to foreign shores but won't even contemplate at present. On a separate issue, have you heard from NiC recently ? Am genuinely worried about him and hope he's ok 👍🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today she’s reinstated it. she now looks really stupid. She isn’t going to have given anyone political ammunition for no reason. If she’s brought it back in the day after it ended here there is perceived to be an issue. She’s ultra cautious. People have been giving her curds it for her handling (care homes aside) so they also need to look and say that’s been done for a pretty good reason today. We might not all like it but that’s irrelevant is that you up for your holiday now mate? Edited July 25, 2020 by Escobarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
