Being in Scotland, our summer holidays start at the end of June, a good 2 weeks before those in Engerlund.
Now, we normally went on holiday during these 2 weeks to avoid not only the crowds (i.e. the English), but also it was before the high season started.
All very well, BUT, if one wasn't away on holiday, then the Summer TV from CBBC didn't start until the English holidays started (I think CITV was the same), so Instead, we got bloody W*mbledon!!*
And then, to add insult to injury, when we went back to School, we then had two bloody weeks of..... Yep.... Summer TV!
I know we got the two weeks in the low season, but, still, to a kid that was of minor importance!!
It is as if
A. We didn't exist or were not deemed important enough for our OWN summer TV.
And
* - B. I still hate W*mbledon with a passion now!
