health spending

Spending on WHAT has soared by more than 50% since 2001?
petrol?
clothes?
holidays?
Woohoo, :cheer: You have got the right answer, well done. It is holidays. The average family will spend over £1,800 this year on their summer holiday (2008) as the cost of going away rises at the rate of nearly 9% every year. Londoners are spending the most on their breaks while the Welsh pay the least. (I am not saying nothing :D)
A study has found that the heart rates rise by 51% when British mothers are trying to do WHAT?
