    Neither was going on holiday.
    Not sure where you are going now, first a passport freeze and now it wasn’t a good idea to go on or book holidays.  Anyone booking a holiday before dec/ jan had no idea what was to lie ahead
    No one's going anywhere right now are they?  You're moaning about people who're too stupid to know what's going on in the world losing a few quid, when people are losing their lives.
    It began with a bit of light hearted banter that's all.  I forgot most people are serial moaners & only go online for this purpose.

    I've always taken the view that access to such comprehensive, and affordable foreign travel is a privilege.  And given I'm lucky enough to be able to afford that foreign travel, the £7.55 a year for a passport isn't really worth considering.
    You only have the one passport then.

    Just wondering what the chances of getting an extension on my ESTA is.....must be the same as a snowball's chances in hell are 😆
    So you're the one who goes on holiday to the USA & spends more in tips than on the actual holiday :D

    I don't think your posts sound much like "lighthearted banter" to me.

    What on earth are you on about? Obviously you have a state of the art crystal ball that predicts the future 12 months in advance. Mine isn't that good. When I, like the vast majority of others, booked trips covid 19 had never risen it's ugly head, anywhere.
