‘If you’re already planning your next holiday’

Sir, – Further to “If you’re already planning your next holiday, read this first” (Joe Humphreys, Opinion, September 2nd), I offer the following as a postscript to the column: “Caelum non animam mutant qui tans mare currunt” (Those who run across the sea change their climate and not their souls) (Horace). – Yours, etc,

Dr JOHN FLOOD,
