So far as UK travellers are concerned, even if such rules aren't applied; the country people want to travel to is more likely to apply quarantine rules for incoming Brits, or prevent them entering.

FFS.

Months and months of dismal weather, with even the very occasional better summers only having a smattering of +30c temps, let alone week after week of beautiful, hot, sunny, dry weather and mild seas.

If you want 30c and sunshine turn up the heating and buy a sunbed....

But I'd dispute about being unlucky with the weather in the UK; I'd say you need to strike lucky to get great weather here. Darren said that Kent gets 30c and sun every summer; not for weeks and weeks on end it doesn't. And the sea around the UK never gets anything like warm.

For my holiday, I want to be almost guaranteed hot and sunny. Days where you can't bear being in the sun for that long and need to jump in the pool for a bit, then dry in minutes in the sun when you get out, before repeating the process. All lubricated by copious alcohol, before going out to a nice eatery on a night in shorts and shirt, before returning late and it still being well into the 20's.

My two favourite places in the world are Devon and the Lake District, and in Devon especially we've had some days where the temp's been in the late 20's and it's been fantastic (still a cold sea!). But far more days have been a chilly 20c or below, with many days having at least some horrible rain.

No doubt children contribute to increasing the R value 

Debate around the world about what contribution do children make to the spread of the virus between families - no data to currently help us.

If children go back to school how much closer to 1( R ) or even tip us above 1 .

Just wondering if the above is enough for the government to keep children off schools until September ?

Other countries e.g. Germany and Denmark are sending children back to school so I’d imagine we will follow suit.
