Where are people heading on their holidays this summer?

Couple of people I work with said it was an unusual place to holiday. I didn’t see many British cars whilst there, maybe it was early in the season or maybe not so many British people head there. 
I used to like Italy but it’s changed a lot for the worse  when I was there in 2018.  
Where are others heading this summer?

Didn't you once try to set fire to Devon with a disposable barbie? I think I gave you a bit of a reputation as a pyromaniac.

That reminds me of one of my finest hours many years ago. Had a disposible barbecue, lit it and put it on my garden table. Weent back inside for a bit and looked out the window a while later to see my PLASTIC table melting and on fire 

What a goon!

Ha. Reminds me of the time I tried to iron the creases out of a plastic tablecloth. I ruined the tablecloth AND mum's iron.

No doubt you could say the same here for many places which is why the much quieter areas like Norfolk and Northumberland are preferred. I still think the best place of all is Northern Scotland but it’s just too far to drive these days.

For some reason the Canary Islands have never appealed to me so I've never been but this is for a stag do for one of the lads I play footie with so I'm happy to be the token pensioner along with his dad. I know it's not far from the coast of the Gambia which I have been to so I know what to expect climate wise and will be suitably prepared with factor gazillion. Obviously won't have much time for sight seeing, but can anyone recommend some decent bars and clubs than don't involve goldfish bowls of turquoise drain cleaner?
