    If you're coming down to Cornwall this summer...

    ...be prepared for hell.

    Pretty much anything, which is even vaguely habitable, is booked solid until the end of October.

    If you haven't booked already, forget it. Although I did hear about a static caravan that still has some availability. Just £6000 for a week. I kid you not.

    Expect massive price gouging, pubs and restaurants rammed, and queues for everything.

    And as for the A30 on Fridays and Saturdays. Think car park.

    Have a great holiday!

    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

    Have to book a holiday in Slough or Birmingham or some other ghastly place.

      I would rather stay at home

        There's no hotel or restaurant staff, they've gone home. Take your own beans with you.
        I'm alright Jack

            I've never been to Cornwall. Only been to Devon once for a weekend and spent most of it lying in a dark room with a migraine.

            I'm off to Portugal in July and will see what options present themselves for August. I need to get my 1125 points by the end of the year.

                Already been and it was lovely and quiet. Feel free to fleece those emmets who usually go abroad

                  Wrong - expect mass cancellations (without refunds?) due to new lockdown in Aug-Sep timeframe.
