A  recent study by Simpson Millar has shed a concerning light on British travellers, as it revealed that half of the Brits surveyed admitted to travelling completely without insurance. It’s important that Brits take these holidays, as studies show they’re working harder than ever before, with many working an average working week of 44 hours, and some even working more than 50 hours a week (the European average is 40). If you add up holiday time and bank holidays, most Brits should be enjoying around 5.6 weeks of holiday each year, and if used wisely, this should be enough for most people to actually take the time to relax. Some people prefer to stay at home and catch up on their reading and housework when they take some time off, while others prefer to travel to a new country and learn about a new culture. While travelling overseas is an…

For most of us, a work day means a lot of stress and mental strain. When you come out of the office feeling physically drained, it makes the whole experience even worse. While a lot of us accept physical strain as just another part of the job, you may not be helping yourself during the day’s work. If you’re sick of driving home with aches and pains, then here are some tips for feeling more comfortable at work. First of all, make sure you’re sitting in an ergonomic position. Your employer may have already supplied you with a workstation that’s made to encourage this. However, even with an older desk and chair, it’s possible to improve your posture.

The terms ‘children’ and ‘long-haul flight’ strike fear into the hearts of many adults! However, there are ways to make the whole experience far less stressful, and far more bearable. Here are some ideas. Pack ample entertainment If there is one thing that should be your first packing priority for long-haul flights with kids, it’s entertainment. If you are flying with a more expensive airline, they may have individual TV screens for each passenger. These will be loaded with loads of movies and shows suitable for kids. However, these screens aren’t always provided. And even if they are, your kid is unlikely to be able to concentrate on just this for the entire flight. To be ready for either of these eventualities, make sure your stash of entertainment screams ‘variety’. Pack handheld devices, like games consoles and mini laptops. Pack more tactile things, like playdough and Lego. And pack…
