I don't think travel is recommended because of the pandemic. Pregnant women aren't vaccinated, are they?
Anyway, I'm another who dislikes JV. I don't listen to him on the radio, but sometimes see his TV show, and he is totally out of touch on there, too. He was suggesting the other day that people should tip hairdressers 25% because they have been on furlough, without realising that most people don't get paid the £750k a year that he does, and that many others have been on furlough too, so adding 25% to what is often an expensive appointment is not about being mean, but just not a realistic possibility.
What I really dislike about him is the way he is always going on about 'boomers', and pointing out that he is not one. He is about 5 years too young, and the 'boomer' age band covers 20 years, so there will be more differences within that group than between the younger end and people of his age - assuming that people of the same age all think alike anyway, which a quick glance at GN would show is not the case. Most of his viewers are probably 'boomers', anyway.
