Welcome to Not the Queen’s English! In this episode, we talk about where British people go on holiday, both in the UK and abroad, and how they behave when they get there. Find out about Murray's childhood hols in Blackpool - including a very literal experience of the expression 'being bored to tears' - and learn what happens on a classic lads' holiday.

We explain what a Butlin's Redcoat is, talk about learning languages at school in the UK and discuss the surprising impact of the Queen's funeral on holidaymakers at Center Parcs.
