Holiday in the UK
June 2009
We challenge you to send us a postcard, from the UK.
It's that time again, summertime. We're all very tempted to pack our bags, jump on a packed flight and catch some sun on a package holiday. Completely forgetting that it's summertime here too, and the Met Office has promised us a scorcher. So go on, holiday in the UK.
We're not often particularly patriotic, but here's why Britain is best:
- you don't have to speak English loudly and slowly (often), or be embarrassed by your fellow holiday makers speaking English loudly and slowly
- trains are great (see our top ten tips for train travel)
- it's cheaper financially
- and environmentally
- you've almost definitely got friends and family in other parts of the UK that you don't visit enough, kill two birds and take a free accomodation, guilt free holida
- the UK is full of beautiful campsites
- and lovely B and Bs
- and wonderful places to Woof
- there must be more, but you get the picture
Head out of your usual abode and across this fair isle of ours. If you're still lacking inspiration, Escape London (not just for Londoners) will help you find paradise on your doorstep.
Please send us a postcard (or even an email, to ) when you get there. Here's our address.
