NEWS FOR SAGA LOUTS – Read the full article here!
I was at the ABTA conference this week and I was fascinated to see just how the travel industry is changing. As a rather cynical consumer I was very encouraged to see how much imagination is now being applied to providing a far more tailored range of holiday services. Personally I was particularly enthusiastic that they were targeting those of my age who were referred to as the ‘Saga Lout’ generation, those in their late fifties and early sixties who were still wanting to behave badly (well only quite badly) whilst still having fun on their holidays. Now don’t get me wrong we will not be trashing the place, but equally we are not going to be rolling around in a squeaky wheelchair.
I first heard the term when travelling with some chums on Eurostar and after a long lunch we were in a jolly mood but possibly a bit loud for some – in fact too loud for a young man who even had earphones on, who complained that he could not work as we were making too much noise and were just a bunch of Saga Louts – well if the cap fits! I will wear it with pride.
