It's the YouGov polls, so it's a cross-section of the UK. You can register on the site if you want to be asked future questions

TBF Stive, YouGov is owned and run by Conservative party supporters and was founded by Nadhim Zahawi, they do tend to ensure their polls reflect their thinking rather than public opinion. Its a very powerful way of actually swaying public opinion.

Interesting - I assumed it was publicly owned because of the "gov" in the name.

My experience - I'd recommend you check as they change the rules - was:

You'll need to book a "fit to fly" test before you travel
You'll need to book a day 2 test for when you return
You'll need to download your vaccine pass barcode (download the NHS app).
You'll need to remember your passenger locator form 48 hours before returning

This is dependent on you being double jabbed, and your last jab must be more than 14 days from your travel date. Your passenger locator forms will ask for the order number of your day 2 test, so you can't just take any old test. Has to be one of the private tests, but can be done at home. Be aware these are so backlogged they'll take forever to arrive - I'm still waiting for my tests that I ordered for my travel in September, so expect that to be a formality and a waste of £60-£70, but without the order number you'll not be able to travel.

Don't forget your passenger locator form coming back - I did, had to buy another flight.

Cut down on your carbon footprint.

Forget all the red tape, stress and uncertainty it will only get worse ETIAS if you visit most of Europe end of next year.

Holiday at home support the British economy great countryside, history, walks and real ale.

Indeed - that's more in line with what I'd expect public opinion to be!

And plenty of crap weather which makes the possibility of having a crap holiday far far far more likely

Hard to meet with family if you're in a different country as well.

Your reply is nothing to do with covid more to do with politics and B####t which we are not allowed to discuss.

I have family abroad that I would like to visit we have all agreed not to meet until 2023 at the earliest as we don’t want to unwittingly spread the covid virus and make the situation worse.

You were suggesting people holiday here and gave a glowing recommendation. I pointed out one reason why going on holiday abroad is preferable to staying.

So will that be 4 to 5 years of not seeing family?

Re. the recent talk about going on holiday...

Given that efficacy is only about 6 months (2 for the Johnson & Johnson) I expect the 4th and 5th doses etc will be added to the pass in the coming months...

Austria going into a full lockdown, It seems just locking away the unvaxed isn’t enough. Shock.
