You're not wrong. The Welsh First Minister was on tv this morning advising all Welsh people to holiday at home this year irrespective of the government rules....................well if he can tell me when we'll have a week when it is not p*ssing down with rain I'll get booked up ! There is no doubt Britain is a beautiful country, unfortunately the weather never seems to afford us the opportunity of being able to see it.

The reason the UK is such a beautiful and green land, is because there is alot of rain, catch 22.

My feeling exactly.

The area in which I reside has what are amongst the best views in Scotland with out a doubt. In fact I had to take a run down the coast last week to buy B & Q's last chiminea left in stock in the country, and as the weather was unusually good, my wife and I had that very conversation.
However, on the way home the heavens opened, our conversation changed to "that's why we'd never spend money on a staycation".

Add to that, the price increases, a friend on mine takes a trip to Skye every year, when he looked at the prices they had doubled and in some cases were two and a half times more expensive than he'd previously paid. I understand that businesses have to try and recoup their losses over the last couple of years but some are just going over the score.

Pay double to potentially sit in the pouring rain being eaten alive by midges, no thanks I'll wait for international travel to return.

I am with princebytor on the Welsh perspective. It has rained constantly since Easter was over. Indeed, it is the wettest May on record. As for the First Minister, do not get me started on that particular tortoise.

When we watch films shot in Ireland I always remark how lovely and green everything is. Yep, it's because it rains for most days of the year! Same in the Isle of Man where my family are from. I was half thinking of retiring to the Isle of Man until I remembered all the windy and rainy days I experienced during my school holidays spent in Peel. There were times when I literally couldn't leave the house due to the howling wind and rain and this was during the summer.....

Best way to enjoy the UK is go on holiday before the school holidays begin. Ideally head for when the GCSEs are on. It is invariably hot and sunny then, and pisses down afterwards, to coincide with Wimbledon.
