If you are confident OB I'm putting in an order for more N95s to do my shopping in.
I don't believe we have surpassed Israel in the percentage of the population "fully" vaccinated even before you factor in the greater efficacy of their vaccine mix compared to ours.
If I were you I'd be more concerned about the EU banning UK travellers given the prevalence of the delta variant here and - perhaps - even Boris bottling July 19. The original freedom day got canned as Boris thought 6,000 infections a day is too high. If R stays at 1.4 as some predict it is we could be looking at 50,000 a day by July 19.

It doesn't always piss down, it also pisses down in many parts of England.

More to a holiday than €2 lager and sweating in 35 degree heat by the pool. A fantastic walk followed by a meal of local produce and local beers...and perhaps a local dram...can't beat it!

Probably not, I think it's banned in England But have been to Glasgow and Edinburgh and just had whatever was ordered in the round so may have partaken.

Think about it logically - a bar full of Scots, with a Scots barman (no tick) - one of them has to pay…

Two wrongs don't make a right!
I admire people who decide to holiday in the UK. But most wouldn't do it a second time!
I am banking on Boris exempting double-jabbed people from quarantine. That would show a bit of mettle.

Re: Coronavirus
We’ve holidayed in the same Scottish seaside town every summer for the past 20 years.
Sure, the weather’s always changeable but there’s always something else to do if it’s not nice enough to sit on the beach. I prefer it that way anyway - the last overseas beach/hotel pool holiday I had (when I was 18, so a very long time ago now) was really, really boring.
