Don't tell the missus, but I am really hopeful that all the current travel restrictions and barriers to foreign holidays remain in place through the summer, and all the people scrambling to book holidays are then scrambling to rearrange when the travel companies don't want to give their money back. I feel really mean saying that but it feels like we will never learn, life isn't just going to snap back to the way it was instantly.
I wonder whether the government didn't want to talk about foreign travel restrictions continuing as it would have dulled the 'good news' message they were trying to give yesterday. They are much less inclined to give us bad news so overtly.
The whole attitude to it is bizarre. Forget the environmental impact that's been talked about for a while, but it seemed like journalists were asking about holidays whilst schools were closed.
I still don't get the argument over something to look forward to. We are kept in our houses, cannot go to a non-essential shop or enjoy gigs, concerts, events, meet family, sports etc. That's more than enough to look forward to.
