With the third weekend in the Summer school holidays a washout, and the forecast not looking too bright for August, there is a last minute scramble for Brits to escape Grey Britain. 

Some flight companies are  reducing  prices, rather than increasing them to take into account the hike in fuel costs, to ensure they achieve their 80% fillage (the point at which most  flights become profitable!). 

Despite the big four Tour Operators cutting the number of holidays available for 2008 there are  still  some good bargains around for the last week of August.  With temperatures on the Med averaging 30º throughout August and the cost of eating out usually less expensive than in the UK , it may be time to consider swapping the brolly for a bikini!
