Whereabouts in the Alps as it is quite a large place?

Just PM'd him.

I will get him to France.......

Tony,

Dont be so pessimistic.
He might say yes..........

Then again

Skidaddle, your alive....
That is a sign for everyone that it must be getting close to the ski season now.

Are you going to come skiing with us??
There is a room left in our chalet for you and hayley if you fancy it.

You know you do so come on and enjoy a week with our partisan french folk.

In the defence of me old mucker Tony, he is not snobbish, just a genuinely nice bloke as I am sure those of you who have met him on the travels would agree with.

In relation to the topic, holidaying in this country is absolutely pants in my opinion.
Holiday time is one where you want to be able to relax in the summer sun and get a nice tan whilst having a few beers.

I agree that it is possible to do this in the UK but you do have to be very lucky with the weather.

I mean a few weeks ago, the Met Office were forecasting a heatwave for August and now it is most likely to be unsettled.

In relation to the cost of holidaying, the price of holidays in the UK is ridiculous for what is on offer compared to travelling abroad.
I know that people will talk about the cost differences but is there really that much difference????

I dont think that there is and if there is difference it is going to be £100 - £200 pounds at the most.
Considering that difference, what price could you put on having constant sunshine on you all day long with temperatures +35C and more, sitting by the pool drinking Pimms, VC, GT, or whatever the hell else tickles your fancy.
Not having to think of what activities you need to arrange for your children because it is so hot they just want to "bomb" in and out of the pool all day.

Anyway, that is only my opinion and on that note I am off to pack my suitcase as I am going to Rhodes on in 60 hours for 11nights which cost £350 each.

Somebody else has you sussed Tony....... ) )

Plus he cant ski that well either :lol: :lol:

As you know tony I am very graceful in everything i do!!! :D :D

Seeing as everyone is talking about holidays I thought I would say that in 4 days time I will be in Rhodes were the weather is currently 42C and Sunny.
I cant wait for it....... however, I am moving house the day before so I think I will need a holiday after that.

On a more relevant topic relating to this website, it is 24 weeks until the skis are on and I am gracefully falling on my arse in ADH........ not that I am wishing my summer holiday away.
