"Staycation" - it means staying at home, you idiots.

Going to a caravan site in Cornwall is what's known as a "holiday".

In case anyone's interested, the word "Staycation" comes from the Canadian sitcom "Corner Gas", set in a very small town in rural Saskatchewan where there's not a lot going on.

In the episode "Mail Fraud", the owner of the petrol station goes on holiday. He's short of money so he stays at home, sunbathing outside the petrol station whilst sending postcards to his friends as if he was travelling around the world.

All six series of Corner Gas are on Amazon Prime. As is the feature film which, unusually for a sitcom, is as good as the series.
