having been to France in early May and noticed how the £ is weak against the euro,most families have been forced to cancel their foreign holidays....where would you recommend to members to visit in uk during this coming summer holidays,promote your town or village if you may.....
for people living in busy towns and cities i recommend hereford because its quite and peaceful,there is all kinds of hotels and restuarants to meet your every need,the night life is great clubs go till 3am...you also find guest houses which are in the middle of rural and farming areas and its only 110miles away from london
visit hereford this summer and make a difference in your life!
PM me if you need more info(not meeting)

Any where on the coast, just sitting and watching the sea will do me, oh and the weather must be warm.
The beautiful South Wales coast and Valleys ( slappers aside of course :giggle: )
We've got Cardiff with the stunning Civic Centre and castle and amazing shopping, The Museum of Welsh Life on the outskirts and gorgeous conutryside no more than 4 miles away in any direction.
For a little drive there's the lovely Gower, Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains. Down to Narberth and you'll find a little place called Canestan ( no not the fungus cream :dry: ) and they have a place where you can play Crystal Maze with Oakwood just up the road.
And of course, a selection of home grown hotties :smug:
good thread...
we usually go on holiday once a year abroad but this year havnt got round to booking anywhere yet due to the Euro being very strong, we will either wait until later in the year to see if the Euro gets any better or just not bother while next year
Don't come to Brighton, we're full. Feckin tourists taking over the beach, pushing up all the prices, causing traffic jams, leaving garbage on the beach, then there's the hen and stag nights who happen to go past my flat at 2-6 am seeming to believe that the quieter it is the louder you have to talk.

I think that the OP is saying that a lot of families are being forced into having to cancel plans for a foreign holiday, rather than cancel pre-booked/payed for ones.
Our next door neighbours have decided on going to West Wales this year instead of Portugal where they have been for the 5 years saying that the costs are so much more.
My folks are suffering the power of the Euro at the moment. Living in France on a relatively basic Pension from here they are losing a high proportion of their income. They have had to cancel one of their visits back here to England on the merits of it.
If the reasons for not going to Europe are because the Euro is too strong then simply go to somewhere where the pound is strong e.g. The USA. Relatively cheap flights these days and much as I dislike the Yanks they treat tourists okay and there's plenty to do there, and if you go to somewhere that isn't a tourist hotspot then they love our accents too. Though it has to be said a pharmacy assistant did think I was Australian!
How about somewhere really adventurous (if you don't have kids) like Hedonism. Or if you do have kids how about doing something unusual like a naturist holiday, either at home or abroad.
Let's face it, with a bit of imagination and not doing the chicken and the line thinking there's tons of things to do.
off to newcastle at the weekend cant wait,was there last in 93'
