Walker570 Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Never been to Ireland and believe it to be very similar to the UK and still not explored all that has to offer. I think that everyone should look at having a holiday in the UK this summer and the next which would keep the money here in the UK and put many businesses back on their feet.

The Heron Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Go UK Ireland has a lot of beautiful areas along with some great people I don't go abroad anymore I had stopped before lock down it lost its appeal there are many great places here in the UK.

henry d Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Ireland was very expensive, but beautiful, just ensure that your suspension system is in top condition as the roads are rubbish. I would recommend trying the Northumberland coast, lots to do and see, castles, Islands, beautiful scenery and wonderful seafood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) They are saying Cornwall is fully booked up already. Thinking you are going to holiday at home is one thing, finding somewhere might be another Edited March 25, 2021 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Got agree with henry d - Northumberland is well worth visiting. I definitely have to agree with Vince, as we have been to Cornwall over 40 times. Assuming Jimmy Krankie opens up Scotland, we do like the east coast - from Leith, Edinburgh, Anstruther, Crail and Stonehaven. Easy travelling, with relatively little traffic.

I think we all forget some of the things we have on our own doorstep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shops sell nothing but cagoules and the pubs are full of loud people with orange faces from Essex. Best just to stay at home really.

Through marriage, I am related to a massive clan in Liverpool. Spent many occasions in the Kop and been to a wedding evening do in the Everton 200 Club. Only one of the eleven brothers / sisters of the elders supported Everton - the rest Liverpool. Still have a relative on Skerries Road right next to the ground. On Google Earth, she is the only resident in front of her own home. I am aware of all the Scouse jokes and "reputation", but I always found them amongst the very best people. The Koppites were probably the fairest minded of any crowd in the grounds I visited with my father in law, including Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley, Leeds, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester City, Manchester United.

Great lass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
