Olympics or holidays

[Publius Ovidius]

with the Olympics covering the first two weeks of August, noticed that prices are good ish, but jump like hell the day after the closing ceremony.

Are you going to avoid the Olympics and arrange holidays in this period, maybe just miss a week or stay at home for the whole couple of weeks?

We have to make a quick decision at work as they are being very selective about dates you can take as we have to have all of our sites fully manned 24 hours a day during the period in case of terrorism.

Has your work banned leave? I know a policeman who can't take leave from march to October

We are away 2nd week, going to the good old US of A

And no leave can be authorised but have taken a gamble as Boris wants us all to WFH

We're doing Olympics then holiday, which buggers up the start of next season, and me taking my seat in the East Upper.

Both - I have the last week of July off work as a shutdown but managed to get tickets for the football at Wembley on Sunday 29 and Hockey on the Saturday 4th August so am looking to go away somewhere inbetween. I have thought that because the season starts later next year then the pre-season tour might be during that week so that could be an option, but more likely head to a country that I havn't been to before.

Ha, nice thought but no thanks

What I meant was Boris has written to all firms in Central London advising he expects a significant amount of staff to be working from home during the Olympics

WIth tickets to the footy, holiday can be taken elsewhere during the close season.

Not if you are limited to school holidays due to the mrs' job

Doh, I have kids and thus wont be taking holiday in the close season but the actual season.

 

[Max Paper]

The Olympics are about as high up my list as wiping my arse with razor blades. Holiday prices abroad are cheaper when they are on? I'm getting the hell out of here during that time then.

We're going to go on holiday during the Olympics, but are going on a road trip around the England and Scotland. This way
we won't miss out on the coverage, but will also not be overly bombarded with it

 

[ManxSeagull]

Didnt regsiter with us at the time, we fly out to Orlando on 27th July (day of opening cermamony), only realised recently when questioning why hotels are Gatwick are so expensive.

I will have to watch the cycling road race somewhere in Disney.
