Honestly I do think it's just the time of year.
Look at me I have the parents staying for a long weekend.
Parents said the journey was very very busy.
Came from Cornwall to reading.
Stop start the whole way.
Lots of people going away taking time off work to go on a mini break etc.
Also the end of financial year.
Things should (will) pick up.
My sixth year doing this. Really nothing to worry about. It will pick up.
Kids being off school will affect s lot of people, childcare, spending money on the kids, time off work, understaffed, just paid tax bill etc etc.
I'm not worried, I'm just enjoying the break
Although phone calls today and I don't even have my number active on aw. Typical!!
