Why caravan holidays are so underrated
CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple.
And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break.
Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated...
WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun.
She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays.
As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday.
No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs.
I still love caravan holidays as an adult.
In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics.
There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad.
I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade.
My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in.
And then, of course, there's the cost.
Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips.
With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad.
I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day.
Whilst a third simply gasped: 'Wow!'
Not only this, but someone else chimed in and asked: "How the hell do they get the beds in and out?"

As well as this, another user questioned: "What happens when u sell the
To this, Liv clarified: "We don't plan to sell. If we can't keep it on Haven anymore I will move it to private land."

How swimwear is taking a daring dive back to the 80s with thin gussets and sky-high cuts
SWIMWEAR trends, like every other part of fashion, come and go in waves. And this year we seem to be revisiting the '80s with super-high-cut bikini lines sure to leave you needing a Hollywood wax. 5 Former Love Islander Maura Higgins shows off her svelte figure in a barely-there bikini with a high cut 5 Kim K unveiled her latest Skims collaboration featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece Credit: Instagram/KimKardashian First made famous in that decade by supermodels such as And this time round, it's not just for celebs and reality telly stars - the high street is pushing us mere mortals to tackle thin gussets, too. Forget full briefs or bikini shorts, everywhere you look at the moment, from M&S to New Look and Primark, has hip-high cuts and bum-cheek-exposing cossies. With Love Island back on our screens and the women scantily clad in swimwear every episode, we expected to see a resurgence of the V-cut gusset. READ MORE ON FASHION And last week Kim Kardashian, 44, unveiled her latest Skims collaboration with Italian brand Roberto Cavalli, featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece. Meanwhile, sister Kylie, 27, stepped out in a vintage Chanel swimsuit, with a sky-high cut, first worn by Claudia Schiffer in 1995. Just a few weeks ago Miami Swim Week — the pinnacle of all swimsuit catwalks — saw a host of high V cuts, with TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini. Model Iris Law , 24, recently wore a black high-cut swimsuit, and former Love Islanders Zara McDermott, 28, have been showing off their svelte figures in them, too. Most read in Fabulous Gusset gauge Host of the reality show Of course, these women all looked phenomenal, but for the rest of us enjoying a break on the Costa Del Sol or taking a dip at the local swimming pool , it's not an easy look to pull off. Alisha Lehmann shows off her bikini body as she models new swimwear range Aside from the obvious extremely bare bikini line you need to have, there's also the probability you'll spend all your holiday sorting out your wedgie, or even worse a flash of some flesh you definitely don't want strangers to see. Yes, we expect to see these flimsy cuts at Gen Z fave brands like Nasty Gal and River Island. But I was surprised to see M&S selling this type of bikini bottoms, as the brand is renowned for selling comfortable underwear, particularly big 'granny'-style pants. It seems there is no escaping it if our sensible shops are hopping on board. You have to wonder why. There is a huge appetite for '80s nostalgia currently, across music and fashion, and there are parallels between the economies of back then and now — both decades are characterised by economic uncertainty and fluctuating inflation rates. 5 Zara McDermott, 28, stuns in the trendy bikini which is difficult to pull off Credit: Instagram 5 TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini at Miami Swim Week Credit: Getty 5 The swimwear was first made famous by supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, pictured, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington Credit: B915 We know about the hemline index, but could the gusset gauge be a more accurate indicator of how consumers feel about the state of the economy? Whatever the reasons, there are, of course, aesthetic benefits to high-cut swimsuits — they give the illusion of longer legs and a smaller waist. But if you are going to wear it, you really do need to commit to the trend — booking in for that wax and giving yourself a body-confidence pep talk, because there really is nowhere to hide.

McVities issue stern letter after Jaffa Cakes hooured in biscuit museum
Is a Jaffa Cake a biscuit or a cake? The age old question has finally been answered after confectionary brand McVities weighed in on the matter. After the beloved sponge, orange and chocolate delicacy found itself honoured in a new biscuit museum, McVities quickly issued a cease-and-desist letter. Peek Freans Biscuit Museum in Bermondsey, London, opened the new exhibition on June 30 branding the Jaffa Cake 'one of the nation's favourite biscuits.' Is a Jaffa Cake a biscuit or a cake? The age old question has finally been answered after confectionary brand McVities weighed in on the matter. Pic: Getty Images Sharing a look at the exhibition online, Jaffa Cakes were quick to comment their disdain, writing: 'I beg your finest most available pardon?' The exhibition prompted a letter to be issued to the museum, with Jaffa Cakes sharing the letter via social media. In the letter they say: 'We write to you today, not with crumbs of animosity, but with a full slice of firm objection. 'To be clear, Jaffa Cakes are, in fact, cakes. Not biscuits. Not hybrid cakes. Some would say the clue is in the name on the box. The science is also on our side. Cakes harden when stale. Biscuits go soft.' They added that they understood their placement in the biscuit aisle of supermarkets caused confusion, but wondered: 'If one stands in the biscuit aisle, does one magically become a biscuit? 'By that logic, standing in the fruit aisle makes you a banana.' The letter continued with the confectionary giant demanding the removal of the jaffa cakes from the biscuit exhibit, noting it was a 'misrepresentation of sponge-based reality.' 'We respect your fine institution, and applaud your efforts to preserve the crunchier corners of British snack heritage,' they wrote, 'But, a line must be drawn. And that line is made of jelly, sponge and delicate dark chocolate.' Social media users took to the comments to have their say on the matter, with one offering, 'Sure okay, it's a cake. However, there was a famous legal dispute with this and therefore it's worth displaying the Jaffa Cake in the Biscuit Museum to educate people on the highly entertaining dispute.' Another added, 'I don't understand people who call them biscuits… it's sponge. Therefore it's cake? A third commented: 'There is NO biscuit in a jaffa cake. It's called a jaffa cake for a reason. It's sponge. I don't understand why there is such a debate.' A follow up response from Peek Freen Museum was shared online, with museum bosses hanging the letter up by the exhibition. 'Well, this is unexpected… @jaffacakesofficial have sent us a letter asking me and Frank to remove our latest addition to the biscuit museum due to… misclassification? 'Apparently it's not a biscuit? Who knew?'
