    Only crazies [or folks with kids still at school :) ] go on holiday then, roll on Sept

    I have (crazy) relatives who, despite being long retired, insist on going on holiday on August Bank Holiday week because that's the week they have always gone on holiday and nothing will get them to change their mind.

    Like all the very elderly people who shop in Tesco on a Saturday morning (and complain loudly about how busy it is) :D
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Yes. They do that too! I suppose people get set into routines and won't change their ways for anyone.
