On the West Sussex coastline, Littlehampton is almost a traditional seaside resort. For decades, Londoners caught the train down for either a day out or for a week’s break in a guesthouse. Those days are long since gone you might think but no, you meet people who have been going to Littlehampton for years and years. It breeds loyalty like a lot of our seaside towns.
Yesterday’s exit by England from the World Cup in South Africa prompted a lot of online searching for holidays. Although the match didn’t finish till late afternoon, internet bookings quickly rose, in some cases by 40% over the Sunday before.
But will you decide to stay and holiday at home or will you head for overseas? Given the weather over the last week, staying at home seems appealing.
Making a decision coincides with a report that has come from Sheffield Hallam University about our seaside towns.
