Give us another bank holiday, say British staff |
|

 Workers in the UK would relish the opportunity of taking tennis holidays in Spain and other types of breaks in October.
However, unless they book the time off, they are unlikely to be able to go, as there is no bank holiday during the month.
It is a fact that rankles a majority of employees, who told employment law firm Peninsula that a day off would boost morale as winter approaches.
"Autumn nights, colder days and the fact that Christmas seems so far away makes it more appealing to workers for a bank holiday to be introduced in October," said Peter Done, managing director of the firm, according to the Daily Mail.

Brits take their troubles on to holiday fairways |
|

 Renting an apartment in Spain is a great way to get away from it all, but many Brits could still find it difficult to leave their worries at home.
That is the finding of American Express Travellers Cheques, which recently polled the public and found that 36 per cent of younger travellers are afraid of returning to a burgled home.
Even the relaxing prospect of a few days' worth of golf was not enough to stop some people thinking about the mortgage and feeding the family, with 35 per cent of 25 to 34-year-olds admitting they worry about such matters on holiday.
"A holiday should be a time for rest and relaxation," said Sarah Harrison, director at American Express Travellers Cheques.

'Top tips' for family holidays in Spain |
|
|
|
|
 Travelling with children is never easy; however, parents can make their holidays in Spain as relaxing as possible by following a series of 'top tips' compiled by the Rough Guide group.
According to the Rough Guide to Travel with Babies and Young Children, parents can improve their holiday experience by packing clothing that is light and easy to wash and by ensuring that bulky items such as dolls and teddy bears are left at home.
The guide also recommends that parents opt for the best accommodation they can afford, as families tend to spend a lot of their holiday time "at base" relaxing around the pool and engaging in sporting activities.
Families are also advised to plan their days carefully and ensure that any 'must-see' attractions are visited early in the holiday.

|

 The older generation of British holidaymakers are becoming increasingly adventurous, it has been suggested.
According to the Association of Independent Tour Operators (Aito), older holidaymakers are opting for active breaks and travelling to destinations such as Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Spain, as well as countries in the Southern Hemisphere.
Aito chairman Derek Moore commented: "The older generation are travelling more. Their kids have grown up and are much more self-sufficient these days so they are able to have a look at a bit more disposable income.
