They also discuss whether the best seaside towns are in the North or the South, and delve into the great debate of sandy versus shingle beaches.
Moving from the coastline to the skies, they discuss the potential easyJet takeover by investment firm Castlelake and what it means for your future travel plans. Plus, the latest on the new “Euro-visa”, Etias, which might be delayed once again.
