If it's just for a holiday I can't understand anyone really picking Tunisia come to that Turkey, the Red Sea and even Greece (for a different reason) would be right off my list. I don't want more stress than I'd get at home, what's the point?

[Zacs-Master]

Well yes Prudie, if your the sort of person who gets distressed by media reports then you should avoid such places.

[Prudie]

Well yes exactly, I don't go on holiday to make a striding up yours to the media.

[Zacs-Master]

Eh?

[Zacs-Master]

Oh I see the 'up yours' should have been indicated as a remark.

[jno]

for striding read strident maybe?

[Eve]

Thanks Mamy, I just hope from now on it resolves as peacefully as possible and that justice can be served.

[Prudie]

Eh?? I'll rephrase - I don't go on holiday to particular places to prove I either don't care or don't believe media reports. Thus I am easily distressed.
Is that not what sort of person you suggested I was??

[Prudie]

I'll go and check now the difference between striding and strident :-)
yes sorry 'up yours'

"Well yes Prudie, if your the sort of person who gets distressed by media reports then you should avoid such places. " - what if you are the sort of person that gets disstressed at getting your head blown off, should we avoid such places too?

[youngmafbog]

I rather like my head on my shoulders, so I wont be going to these sort of places either - nor Greece. I too go on holiday to enjoy myself, enough stress here in Blighty.

[Zacs-Master]

The point I'm trying to make is, there are thousands of Holidaymakers in Turkey and Greece having a great time (I hope to be one of them very shortly). It's important to keep things in perspective dot you think?

[Svejk]

It's up to the individual, I suppose. You could just as easily say, 'better be safe than sorry'. Dot you think?

[Svejk]

There were 30?tourists killed in Tunisia a couple of months ago.

[youngmafbog]

It's a free country, so we can all choose what risks we want to take. Hope you make it back safe Zacs.

[Svejk]

^22 killed 50 injured.

[Zacs-Master]

It's a free country and we can we can all express our opinions too dear boy.

[ToraToraTora]

Most of these places are not fit to put up a dog, I'm more comfortable at home it's just a load of hassle, It just isn't a holiday for me.

[youngmafbog]

I'm off to Jersey. Local airport, 45 min flight. That's ok TTT.
