I live in quite a touristy area and work in a shop.
Since Easter we've had increasing numbers of people in that we swear are people on holiday from 'distant regions'. We don't recognise them as locals, they've got accents from other places, and they tend to come in in couples or as families (we try to stop them but we are very small and can't have someone on the door full time, not enough staff).
I don't really have any beef with people wanting to get away, the weather has been spectacular and they can, of course, drive about as much as they want (although we are a long way from being a day trip from London). But where are they staying? Hotels are shut, caravan parks are shut, holiday cottages aren't operating...although I have seen a few camper vans parked up in people's driveways, maybe they are letting family park on their land for a few days away?
I'm not frothing at the mouth about it, if people want to travel I'm fine with that, but I'm mostly curious. Or are they just having really really long day trips out?
