Working Holidays

Sooooo……. all you people who come to the UK on working holiday visas- Where are you? Don’t you know that living and working in London doesn’t count as experiencing the ‘working holiday’ thing in England, Britain, or even Europe! What you doing?- apart from breathing the fumes of a million cars  and searching high and low for a blade of grass?

Don’t get me wrong- I love London and if you want to be a tourist or go to tea with the Queen, then good on yer. But if you want to see Britain then the only real way is to GET OUT. You Aussies and South Africans are the worst culprits-  are you living in a share house full of people from your own country? Are you thinking- ‘ what am I doing here? I might as well go home where I can get job so much more easily and earn real money and where the sun shines more than a week at a time’?. (Not bad just now though- eh?)

If you are feeling that your working holiday is ‘missing something’ then why not go somewhere else in the UK? Somewhere where you will experience the country, meet locals, be ‘special’, walk into a job and SEE THE SEA!-OK jobs aren’t going to throw themselves at you and few are ‘well paid’, but apart from a (very reasonable ) £75/week, at Torquay Backpackers, then all you need is food and drink and you’ll find these alot cheaper than most places in the UK.

What more can I say? SEE YOU SOON, you so called ‘working holiday travellers’. Do abit of travel and holiday while you work cos Torquay is a holiday even when you are working!

A real ‘working holiday’ is when you wake up on a beach with a fuzzy head after a beach party and stumble straight to your  breakfast shift in the  hotel still stinking of woodsmoke and dreaming of swimming naked in the phosphoresence! If you can say you have experinced this on your ‘working holiday’   then stay where you are, (it’s almost certainly Torquay, anyway!). If  you haven’t then I’ll book you a bed!
