UK Holidays - people now more welcome?

[CarlaH]

I've noticed a few people starting to talk about booking or wanting a UK holiday and it no longer seems to attract the vitriol it did.

A few weeks ago the mere suggestion of anybody daring to want to visit Cornwall or the Lake District resulted in abuse.

Are the people there coming around to the possibility that they might get visitors from elsewhere coming to stay soon?

The local paper reported that there has been an outbreak of the virus at an abattoir on Anglesey.

Will try to drive down to the Alps last minute if I'm allowed. Probably the locals hate tourists there too but at least I won't understand the language!

Same. They are being alright though. We spent a long time there last year and the FB pages are hilarious with photos of Parisiens arriving under the cover of darkness etc. But things are opening - resorts are opening at the beginning of July for the summer season. If you can do 2 weeks quarentine either end, they yay.

I think the government are at fault for all of the excrement. They shouldn’t have allowed people to travel any where in England without opening up toilets.

So true so true and in more ways than one 😁😁😁

Sorry, but you can't actually know that your local area only had one case yesterday. Even allowing for cases that haven't even been tested, there is a huge discrepancy between the Government issued England case figures (which then filter down to the regional and local authority breakdowns and are used as the basis of online postcode trackers/ local newspaper reports etc) and the actual cumulative cases to date.

The reason is that the former figures are based on cases confirmed by NHS and Public Health Authority labs whereas the cumulative cases include tests confirmed in third party labs. Looking at the UK as a whole, as of yesterday there had been 296k confirmed cases but only 193k of these related to NHS/PHE confirmed cases. The difference of 103k relates to caes confirmed by third part labs and which are not included in any regional/ local authority analysis for England at the very least.

Well no of course I can't KNOW that my area only had one case but I put in my postcode and a random postcode in Anglesey and those were the figures that came up.

That's interesting so an outbreak in a single workplace. That makes sense.

I’m in Norfolk and never minded tourists here - we’re a big county with lots of space. They help keep the tourists attractions running which we benefit from all year round.

I love Cornwall, I have family there and visit often. I have always found the locals to be friendly and welcoming. When it is safe to do so I will definitely be back. I might consider a holiday in the U.K. or possibly even France later in the year if it is safe for both my family and the community that we will be travelling to (and through.)

What is going on in Anglesey I wonder. After your comment I had a look and see that they have had nine new cases in one day.

Wales has a harsher lockdown that England so how are these cases still increasing.

My local area (south east england) had only had one new case yesterday.

Irony much, with all their hatred of the English who might be bringing in the virus.

I think the government are at fault for all of the excrement. They shouldn’t have allowed people to travel any where in England without opening up toilets.

How was this the governments fault? Surely it is a council decision to open up their own public toilets or not. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that people were going to start flocking to the beach in the sunny weather after weeks being cooped up at home 🙄
