You remember that "stay-cation" thing? Nothing new-- the British government promoted "stay at home holidays" in World War Two... have a break, have fun, save fuel and money (and don't worry about your gas mask getting lost in transit)!
Here, a few friends demonstrate their holiday at home. From the Imperial War Museum.
