Gazred Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Don't forget the skiing lot. If your that posh, why are you flying peasant airways (EasyJet)? Get yourself and the 2 spoiled brats over to the BA queue. Its reassuringly more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 More fool them then, if they think all there is to a holiday is lying on a beach in the carribean.You can find things in Wales, Cornwall or Scotland that are equally as beautiful as anything youll find abroad..For stunning beauty on our doorstep, look no further than Polperro in Cornwall or Fort Augustus on the shores of loch ness. The only type of holidaygoer im a bit snobby towards are the "OY OY WHEEEEY" crowd that flock to Benidorm and Ibiza. Very tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I don't go abroad. All I need in a holiday is to be found in the Yorkshire Dales, Northumbria, Pembrokeshire, Cornwall, the Lake District and the Isles of Scilly. I try to get to 2 of them each year.

BCFC Taunton Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yep one in particular goes to florida every year for 3 weeks. We have to hear about it for months leading up and month afterwards. I'm sure it's lovely there bit after umpteen years going to the same place surely it's all the same and nothing more to discover.

Northamptonshire Red Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Bit like people who rave about Dubai, just don't understand it. If I want skyscrapers I'll go to New York. If I want sandy beaches I'd rather go to Italy or Spain. If I want a huge shopping centre I'll go to Milton Keynes thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Holiday snobs are usually just as boring as people who are snobby about cars, designer gear and so on. No real lights on up top, ignore them. Going to the Caribbean to sit in an all inclusive resort is a waste of money, most people don't venture out and see the place and just like to say they've been there. And it's full of yanks. I had a holiday in Gozo the other year and it was lovely - try Patrick's if you want a slap up meal. The war rooms in Malta are worth a visit too, I'm not too bothered about that sort of thing usually but it was very interesting. All I'd say on holidays is go to as many different places as you can and dive right in when you get there. Speak to the locals, eat the cuisine, see the place. And don't ignore the UK either - as others say above there are some cracking places here. The Lake District is breathtaking for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmabbuttshair Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Malta is excellent. Rabbit is the local meat delicacy. Very nice, very good octopus dishes as well. Local red wine is pretty good and dirt cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizou50 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thank goodness we all like something different for our holidays. I never criticise anyone's choice even if it sounds like a week of hell. I'm just glad they don't all turn up where I go........which probably sounds awful to them.

BristolCity1992 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm a holiday snob! I try and get the cheapest hotel I can find and flight. No need to pay over the odds at all these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 A tedious ride through France before hitting Spain, Italy or Switzerland and ride through the Alps/Pyrenees for a week. The Spanish are particularly motorbike friendly and the Italians are too if you have a '46' sticker on your bike/helmet and Switzerland has some amazing roads. France hate motorbikes though so get through it fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Am I a holiday snob? We went to Sao Tome e Principe last year and French Polynesia the year before. Got nothing to do with wanting to show off, just want to see some bits of the world I haven't experienced. Vancouver Island this year, but I have to book somewhere hot for Mrs Robbo too as she's already moaning about not getting her tanning time in....

WTFiGO!?! Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 With 1/7 of the Earth's population starving and even people in this country struggling to make ends meet, I still view a holiday as a privilege and luxury. It's come to something if people are using holidays to compare dick size. Sad bastards. It is my ambition to see as much of the world as I feasibly can, though. I love a bit of travel, more so than 'holidaying'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I recall spending two weeks in my parents caravan in dorset in the 2002 August heateave (or was it 2003) where it hit 80+ degrees every day.. Absolutely bliss spending most of it on studland beach (not THAT part) Also big shout out for West Wales.. Some of the beaches are breathtaking - Harlech a particular favorite for me and the wife.

chipdawg Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm a massive self-avowed holiday snob and I don't care. Why do people go for a week in Marbella then eat pie and chips in the Red Lion every ******* day? Why do people go to the same hotel in Bognor in the same week every sodding year with the same people? I LOVE going to random, different places in the world, eating the local food and seeing stuff that might as well be from a different planet compared to Blighty. That said, I'd never turn my nose up at people holidaying in the UK. Some awesome places to visit without ever needing your passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I like to travel to different countries to experience the culture, food and people. And I also wonder why some folk return to the same place year after year whether it be in the UK or abroad. I guess they just lack imagination and the desire to see different places. Mrs Robbo and I have been on 4 different cruises around the Med and the Red Sea. We visited Cairo, Petra, Jerusalem, Pompeii, Carcasonne, Salvadour Dali birth and burial place in North East Spain, Barcelona, Ephesus, Istanbul. We enjoyed Turkey so much that we went back for a different holiday type to Bitez. Now we are in Western Oz which will probably be our only overseas trip this year.
