Two cold weeks ‘a fair swap’ for free hols

BRAVING the freezing rain to soak up some free sun are a hardy bunch of bargain-hunters whose main problem just now is keeping their feet warm.

The 20-odd people queuing outside Budget Travel's main office in Dublin have to stick it out for another six days if they want to secure the best sun deals when the sale starts next Tuesday.

Third in line for a bargain is Christy O'Connor from Tallaght, Dublin, who really believes two weeks in the cold is worth two free weeks in the sun.
