This sort of stuff is where Britain lets itself down.
Don't get me wrong, things are improved massively over recent years but, when we went to St Ives for instance, it was queuing up for good old British fish/pie/pasty and chips and eating on a bench, or a pint in a pub with no windows. We went for food in Pompey marina before the ferry last year and it was absolutely ****ing grim.
In France, Spain, Italy, all of our more civilised children friendly neigbours, the food on offer in cafes and bars is better than nuggets and chips, and the drink is better than a pint of ale.
It's just done better, in a better environment with a better view and weather.
Much as I love a British pub for a pint and some grub, it's not holiday food and it's not as appealing when you've got your kids with you.
Just found a 99quid same day one in Manchester which is cheapest I have seen.As it currently stand, a lateral flow before you depart to come back home, so they are free.
A PCR on return, at the moment they are quite expensive but 'talks' are on going between travel companies, airlines etc. to get that at a more reasonable rate.
£60 a test was bandied around but that was just speculation I think.

......wouldn't want to put ew out like Well thats the issue, who the F**k wants to eat at a marina/Gunwarf Quays?
Thingsare improving and If you get away from the bucket and spade places then you can get a good lunch. However while the demand for a quick bite/culture of eating is the same then places wont alter here in the UK and will always seem better in mainland europe
Someone who needs to eat next to where the ferry was departing from after driving to Portsmouth?
There we were loads of options to have a meal before an over night ferry, mostly ****.
They don't seem better in Europe, they are. I've done the same in Caen and Santander on a good few occasions and the food options near those ports are excellent.
We've also stopped at many a good pub on the way to Pompey as it goes and it's mostly good food in those more rural pubs.
They aren't holiday places though, which is partly the point I guess. British holiday places will cater for the common denominator, which isn't something I'm even slightly interested in.
I like a mix, we are one of the few places that take fewer holidays at home than outside of U.K.
So much I haven’t seen here, so travelling a day to see another country is a bit daft sometimes. Plus taking two kids on a long journey is going to be hell
Ask her if she would make it differently 2 the guy on vid........or you can say fk all in I'll go with ew tube vid anyway......wouldn't want to put ew out like

I've got three. Which is why I don't use airports with them, it would be horrific.
I'd just as soon have them in the back of the van, moaning away, then get an overnight boat, as endure airports.
Worst journey I ever had to do in the MoHo with three kids in the back though was from South Wales to Manchester. Took seven and a half hours. Then the same again going back three days later.
Another reason to not holiday in Britain! I'd love to go up to Scotland in it but the thought of the journey is off putting.
Was gonna put this on burley fred, but seems more related to here.
So as most know i have a bairn in Thailand, seems she is growing up quickly.
So anyway, during our daily chat, we got round to covid, and thailand has got it easy so far, but now a bit more, a long way from the the numbers we have, but still.
Then she started talking about deaths, and injections etc. I told her the UK numbers and you could see her mind ticking over, trying to understand the numbers, and asking about costs.
Then she hit me, i wasn't expecting it... Daddy, thailand is **** (yep she takes after me with the language), they just want money. Everything is money.
she is getting older mate, and starting to understand many things, plus her english is getting better by the week. (unlike mine).Was she talking just in general or was something troubling her mind?

Queen's speech......what the fk is going on hey.
Expensive puppet to be reading that crap out.
We need to end this establishment nonsense for good![]()
