    I don't think we have as many people popping across the border to tourist things in South Wales, they seem mostly to be local destinations.
    I was in Tenby 10 days ago and it was heaving with English tourists - most sounded like they were from London and the south east.

    This is Pembrokeshire though, they don't call it "Little England beyond Wales" for no reason

    True - and my guess is that half the shopkeepers, cafe owners, taxi drivers and people running B&Bs were English. But my point is that the English tourists had to cross the border to get to Tenby - and from the accents it was probably across the bridge and through South Wales, before joining the 10 mile tailback into Pembrokeshire!

    I'm on holiday St Ives, Cornwall at the moment. It's said to be a hotspot for Covid Delta with 44 cases per 100,000 locally.

    So, turned up at a pub for a pint and some lunch. They asked me to sign in via NHS app which I did, then they asked my wife to do then same. She didn't have her phone with her so she offered to complete a contact form. No go they said, no phone no entry.

    Gone a bit over the top really!.

    Yeah 99% of bookings for my place are from England, in fact I can only think of a few from Wales. I guess Welsh people either have their own holiday home or shoot off to the Costa’s….
