And earlier this week I was fishing a beat on the Usk that has a campsite right on the river, down from the big house. And I can categorically say that you'd struggle to find a more beautiful place on the planet to spend a week or so. You can swim in a river flowing with drinkable water; you have red kites, kingfishers, otters, ...and the stars overhead at night. A nice small town a couple of miles down the road, and a good golf course or two within 15 minutes drive. And world class trout fishing literally at your feet. What more could any sensible person ask for? 🙂 And you didn't have to fly in that Boeing 737 death trap to get there yes I have travelled abroad but for me nothing beats the UK 🇬🇧.

JTaylor91 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Personally I enjoy a holiday in the UK. On the other hand thank you to everybody flying abroad, you’re keeping me in a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert, but in the USA, filing for bankruptcy (known as Chapter 11?) gives a measure of protection from creditors that can 'buy time' - although I'm not sure in this case more time will help. There is no doubt that the air travel industry - and by implication the aircraft manufacturers and the associated businesses are one of the hardest hit sectors. I have great sympathy for those who are/will be losing their jobs etc, but others may cite Climate Change issues, and say they the industry needed to reduce ....... and I'm not taking sides on that one!

I heard today there is a local spike in Merthyr allegedly attributed to people who have returned from holidays abroad. Not wishing to denegrate my former neighbours in Merthyr but I can so easily believe that Edited August 28, 2020 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
