Last year more than one in four (26%) chose not to go away during the summer, hoping for a bit of sun at home instead and to save cash. But this year that figure has fallen to just one in five (21%) said the survey by satnav firm TomTom. And many more are jetting off during June and July this year, suggesting the reason may be to avoid the big national events in the UK.
Almost as many (21%) are taking their holidays in June and July as August (22%) said the poll.
