Summer holidays

LT42

Along_the_Wire Business as usual, no dramatic changes reported at all. We were out for dinner last night, restaurants full and people dining inside/outside. Schools are pretty much back. Everyone still wearing masks. No issues.

There was a spike in Ankara but you’ll be well away from there. Drive on I’d say, mate.

Along_the_Wire

Nice one, Vinny!

Along_the_Wire

Turkey’s up the fucking spout. I’m so fucked off, I can’t tell you.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire Covid or Mrs or both?

Along_the_Wire

Hursty Probably both - she’s suggested going away somewhere in England. Last time she was behind the wheel we went to Cheltenham

Hursty

Along_the_Wire Gutted, will she not get on a plane?

Just seen Turkey is on the quarantine list, that will explain it!

But the Department for Transport said it had been added to the quarantine list in light of the country’s health ministry revealing it has been recording new cases in a different way to the definition used by a number of international organisations.

Care to explain this LT?

Millsy

Along_the_Wire I hear the Cotswolds is charming in October

LT42

Hursty Anyone who tested positive but was asymptomatic wasn’t added to the list of daily cases. Only those hospitalised.
At this point I don’t know what difference that would make as anyone who tested positive was quarantined anyway.
Its confusing because why would you get tested if you had no symptoms anyway? outside of the test needed to travel it wouldn’t make sense. Unless I’m being an ignorant dont give a fuck either way kinda cunt right now. (possible)

Lads you wouldn’t give any consideration to maybe staying within the confines of your shores during the old pandemic no?

Mad_Cyril

seanc80
Seems a logical approach

Jules72

seanc80 christ no….hoping Cape Town will be open to us at Christmas… when are more of these countries going to have rapid testing on landing? That would open a lot of corridors

seanc80 Lads you wouldn’t give any consideration to maybe staying within the confines of your shores during the old pandemic no?

Absolutely not.

Been to Chamonix, Amsterdam and Corfu since it all kicked off and glad I have.

Those trips have kept me sane(ish)

Along_the_Wire

seanc80 Breaking news: It’s shit over here, Sean. Not that I’ve any choice in the matter.

Is that a pic of Grant driving to the Cotswalds in your avatar, Millsy?

Millsy

Old-Dutch lol. His Mrs mithering the head off him, reading extracts from ‘Lonely Planet: The Cotswolds’ from the passenger seat.

Along_the_Wire

Millsy LOL

-si-

Your trip to chamonix kicked off the UK pandemic you cunt!

Smallman1

I’ve paid a price too Si, kippered me and IH.

Thankfully I’m a still a man in demand so swings and roundabouts it is!

Along_the_Wire

I dunno Vin, but it’s fucked me right off.

LT42

Along_the_Wire To be honest, mate, nothing has changed. There’s been tourists coming here all Summer, testing at the airport, social distancing and masks working better than home. You’d be as safe here as down the Cotswolds.

Along_the_Wire

LT42 I’d do it, but my work (and my missus is a teacher) won’t allow you to go and have two weeks in quarantine when come back.
