I am less confident that we will have a sensible process in place for trips abroad, but there is no reason I can see why fully vaccinated people should be subject to quarantine.

If you are confident OB I'm putting in an order for more N95s to do my shopping in.

I don't believe we have surpassed Israel in the percentage of the population "fully" vaccinated even before you factor in the greater efficacy of their vaccine mix compared to ours.

If I were you I'd be more concerned about the EU banning UK travellers given the prevalence of the delta variant here and - perhaps - even Boris bottling July 19. The original freedom day got canned as Boris thought 6,000 infections a day is too high. If R stays at 1.4 as some predict it is we could be looking at 50,000 a day by July 19.

I could have warned you off Scotland, Seph.

It doesn't always piss down, it also pisses down in many parts of England.

WJust make sure you bring your thermals and a brolly! Don’t expect to see your kite again if you get that out up there!

More to a holiday than €2 lager and sweating in 35 degree heat by the pool. A fantastic walk followed by a meal of local produce and local beers...and perhaps a local dram...can't beat it!

You never should either...:D

You can't get a good Schnitzel or Backhändl in Oban.

Probably not, I think it's banned in England :) But have been to Glasgow and Edinburgh and just had whatever was ordered in the round so may have partaken. ;)

Think about it logically - a bar full of Scots, with a Scots barman (no tick) - one of them has to pay…;)

Two wrongs don't make a right!

I admire people who decide to holiday in the UK. But most wouldn't do it a second time!

I am banking on Boris exempting double-jabbed people from quarantine. That would show a bit of mettle.

We’ve holidayed in the same Scottish seaside town every summer for the past 20 years. ;)

Sure, the weather’s always changeable but there’s always something else to do if it’s not nice enough to sit on the beach. I prefer it that way anyway - the last overseas beach/hotel pool holiday I had (when I was 18, so a very long time ago now) was really, really boring.
