"Give me a Break" say the Nation's Exhausted Grandparents

More Than 40 per Cent of the Nation's Grandparents say They are in Desperate Need of a Post Half-term Break

LONDON, March 2, 2011 - The nation's Grannies and Grandads are crying out for a break, according
to a survey published today by Just Go! holidays, citing "looking after
grandchildren" as the main factor in their desire for a rest.

Following a grueling half-term holiday caring for their children's
children the survey found that more than 40 per cent of Britain's
grandparents are drained.

Coupled with rising fuel bills and the recent VAT increase the woes of
the nation's grandparents are being exacerbated. 38 per cent say that with
the additional pressures of looking after grandchildren "they don't get as
much chance to take a break as they thought they would at this stage in
life."

James Massey of Just Go! holidays commented: "This research illustrates
the growing pressure on the nation's older generation. They are at a time in
their lives when they should be afforded the opportunity of taking a break,
but are not getting the opportunity to do so. Today's results indicate that
taking a break is more important than ever."
