Food for Thought

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

So we have another foodie poll for this month, as you all seemed to enjoy that last time!

This one might be a bit of a tough one though, because we are asking  where you have been on holiday and had your best ever food! So it might be a bit tricky to pick just one place, but this is what we are asking you to do.

It might be a pizza in Italy, or a burger in America. Or it could be a curry in India or noodles in Thailand. Just mentally scroll through your holiday memories and then you know the drill –  please fill in the poll below, and we will reveal the results once you have all voted.

 Get voting! And if you have any ideas on what you would like to see in the next poll – please let us know.

An Ash cloud future??

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

The time has come again for the results of the Globebloggers poll. And as you know it is all about the ash cloud. I am sorry to bring this all up again when the media frenzy finally appears to have subsided, but this is more about future holiday plans, than the ash cloud effect now. Luggage 3D

So the results are in. And the biggest impact of the ash cloud, with over 55% of the votes, is that people will check the small print of their insurance details more carefully. So this is actually a good result to have come out of the ash cloud problems. At AllClear we always say that it’s worth reading the small print to check the detail of the cover, whether for medical conditions or winter sports cover etc.

The second result, at 44%, is that the ash cloud has had no impact on future holiday decisions, which obviously is another positive! And there were no votes at all for the ash cloud causing people to stay in the UK for their next holiday, or to not book their holiday so far in advance. There was also no votes for people booking their travel insurance earlier.

So we are glad that the British spirit is winning through, and you are not letting it beat you for the enjoyment of your future holidays!

The Perfect Curry

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

You have spoken – the best place to go on holiday for a curry is…(drum roll please)…. Thailand, with 18% of the votes! I must say that I am quite partial to a Thai green curry myself. question_mark

You might be interested in some of the other results too though. In second place, is South Africa, joint third place is Caribbean and Japan. And, in a shock 4th place, the UK still ranks as the fourth best place to have a curry!

So if you are a curry fan this information might be useful for when you book your next holiday!

I would also like to point out that 20% of the votes were for ‘other’. It would be great if you could let me know in the comments box below where those votes were for so that we can add them in to the total.

Thanks everyone who filled in the survey – we had more people vote than ever before, which is great.

 Do let us know if there is a particular poll you would be interested in us running next. Otherwise look out for May’s poll coming soon.

Loving the romantic city breaks

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

So you thought Valentine’s Day was over for another year? Well, think again! But don’t worry this is just a short blog to update you on the Valentines poll that we had running on Globebloggers. Thanks to everyone who entered the poll, and we think it is only right to let you all know the results.

We asked you what you would rather do on a Valentine’s short break. Ok, well basically the clear winner was the city tour, with 55.5% of the votes. So if you want to impress your Valentine next year, maybe this is something that you should get thinking about early. But that doesn’t mean that all of you would be happy with strolling around a historical city, enjoying the ambience – 33% of you would be rather relaxing on a beach. This is not that surprising given the horribly cold weather we have been having in the UK lately. An adventurous holiday, be it horse-riding or zorbing, was not as popular, only making 11% of the votes. But for those of you who did choose this option, it is worth remembering that you will need to check your travel insurance policy covers you for hazardous sports – for more info check out www.allcleartravel.co.uk.
