Talking Point: Home or Abroad?

2 Conversations

A donkey on Blackpool Beach.

Many of you will be counting the days to your jolly holidays.

Households across the land will be resounding to the cries of people asking their loved ones when they last saw their passports or looking for those fetching Bermuda shorts you swore you last saw at the back of wardrobe but have now mysteriously disappeared.1

But do all of you even need your passports? Because the question we're asking this week is about where you're choosing to take your well-deserved breaks. In short: is it home or away?

  • Will you be holidaying within these fair isles this year? Is it something you've always done, or did you suddenly see the light after years of heading to the beaches of the Costa somewhere or other?

  • Or is your holiday the chance to really get away from it all, with it being as far away from the UK as is humanly - or travel agent-ly - possible?

1It would be the Bermuda shorts, of course, that vanished. Bermuda? Bermuda Triangle? Shorts? Oh, never mind.
