What hve we learned from Covid.

I'd say I see more people in public loos washing their hands than ever before so the above has shocked me a bit - thought we'd got better than the bad old days of utterly decrepit public toilets. Anyone who doesn't wash their hands after a number two is a disgrace!

Covid made us more insular I feel, people turned on each other and it was a hell of a "success" for governments around the world on how quickly they could get their citizens to obey them.

Hopefully, not to panic and impose lockdowns etc when it comes to flus/colds.

WCV, that is good news, at least locally or perhaps in the UK. I was referring to our, as a family?s experience, in a Spanish island. We spent three weeks in a villa and one week in a hotel. The three weeks I have to be honest I couldn?t tell as we either ate at the villa or out. However we stayed at a hotel for one week where the food was buffet style. People, of all nationalities generally could not give a toss about their personal hygiene in the toilet facilities. It was noted by me, my wife and two children. People would visit the toilets and wonder off into the restaurant without washing hands or just splashing them under a running tap for a nano second.

They would then wonder into the restaurant and use to utensils to select their food. Some just disgustingly just used their hands to pick up food.

Cretins absolute disgusting pigs. All nationalities.

Have to say we witnessed one young couple, British, who had a young child in a high chair and they went on their hands and knees and picked all the food the little one dropped. Credit to the nationality. And I don’t say that too often.

Usually disgusting personal hygiene usually is associated with the less educated or the lower class. For example - why are some towns like s hit tips with pawn shops and rubbish rolling around the streets and other towns beautifully immaculate with top brands. Pride - Respect - Education - People are just a few reasons!

Personally, I would never go to an all inclusive or a hotel serving buffet style meals as I would know what to expect and usually it's all low quality crap served to the mass!

I agree with that to a degree Al, albeit, you surprise me somewhat as you have advised on occasions that you had worked for Tui, which I would suggest means you may have eaten at some of their all inclusive hotels.

We do use all inclusive holidays on occasions, and I will be careful what is say here as I like to keep myself/family/business private. On this occasion, a personal family holiday, we did used one to see what the hotel offered. The occasions we use them is when those that are less fortunate are selected for a holiday. This occurs once, occasionally twice a year. It is not advertised and we select those who are chosen from those that we have had contact with. Some are most unfortunate to be in the situation they are in, so the process is quite painful.

We or one of our colleagues take our families on these trip. One to assist and secondly so that they interact and have an understanding of how fortunate they are and hopefully they will consider others less fortunate going forward.

I can’t say to much as we, as a business, do not want or require the spotlight and nor do those that have had the opportunity to have a holiday that they might not have been able to have.

As for where we stayed for the three weeks it was a lovely villa. However, I absolutely disliked the location. Lanzarote will not be a place I will visit again. Absolutely not for me.
