General stuff
I'm not sure which of the following might be obvious and which
wouldn't so I'll just put it all down
- Everyone here takes a holiday every year. People with
children would mostly take it in the summer when the kids
are out of school (our school year runs from September to
June) when, of course, the prices go up so that's why I
generally head off at other times. Most people just go
for the two weeks and in Northern Ireland that usually
means the 'twelfth fortnight' which is the fortnight
containing the July 12th holiday when factories usually
close down. Usually people head off somewhere warm and
sunny which in most cases means Spain or the Greek
islands though a lot of people have started going to
France (usually taking their own car on the ferry).
- Children would generally walk to school if they're close
enough but you really notice the extra traffic caused by
the school runs when classes start after the summer
