Travel broadens the mind, some thing you have evidently missed out on.

And do you honestly believe that the British travel industry can cope with the extra 1.5 million plus who travel abroad???

Prices will escalate beyond reach, never heard of supply and demand? (another term, lets screw them for all they've got.) Put your thinking cap on heavens sake.

Also, "absence makes the heart grow fonder", it would be nice if you could make us get a lot fonder, Itsme!

Well try it on a low wage itsme, some of us have never earned enough to travel as you say. A tent in a field has been our holiday many years because we can afford a canvas room and we've seen so much of UK on those great holidays, so much more than many who only go to a beach or sit by a pool for a week.

Apart from your post being totally condescending what on Earth makes you think no Brits are ever going to travel abroad again?

Well that's very nice if you like that sort of thing but staycations are not cheap and if you go to Cornwall or other holidays spots they will fleece you for all they can

Spot on Muddy,

I can pay to go to many foreign countries at half the price I would pay to stay in the UK already.

Playing the hard done to again eh? But then again with you just saying you have never traveled abroad with out giving a reason (as usual) then what do you expect?
