The planes are flying again..... so what?

At last the world can once again breathe a sigh of relief because the aeroplanes are flying again and people can now get back to the good old UK ready to whinge and moan about having to stay in a foreign land a few extra days and whinge and moan they certainly will do! Most will get at least 4 weeks of drivel out of this episode.

It seems to be OK to go abroad for a week or 10 days, be louts on the beach and help destroy the locality of some distant shore then fly back home only to work your nuts off for another 52 weeks in order to do it again next year but come the time when people might be a bit inconvenienced then all hell has to be unleashed and it HAS to be someones fault in order to get full whingeabillity.

One report I saw was a woman sitting by the poolside in full sun saying it was hard to be stuck away from home, if she felt that way why did she contribute to the damaging ozone depletion by taking a cheap flight in the first place?

If people just take a few minutes out of their precious, hard working, stressful lives to think about the bigger picture of their very individual actions that contribute to global warming and the environmental destruction BEFORE they take the actions then there may well be less issues with "natural events" or "acts of god" [assuming that there is a god of course] and more money will be kept in the UK.

It may also be a good idea to think about why you need a foreign holiday for 2 weeks because if you need this holiday to relax and unwind from the pressures of daily life then surely the best action would be to reduce the pressures and stress of the daily "grind" rather than stick your head in the sand for 50 weeks a year.


it does the soul good to rant, lol......

I have a small campervan and love to explore our british countryside. People forget what bautiful places are just on their own doorsteps. No need for foreign travel, just get out there and relax in glorious countryside. Taking a pic-nic and sitting, just contemplating life is just as relaxing as a holiday, and can be done every weekend if needed. Very little cost involved. Society is overfilled with expectations and quick fixes, so we have to re-learn to slow down our own actions to appreciate life.
