With more and more Brits showing that they are willing to take the plunge and go out for dinner by themselves, or even on holiday, we went out into Manchester to ask people on the street if they could see themselves jetting off to a different country completely alone.

00:00Hi, I'm Theo with Manchester World and today I'm heading out into Manchester to ask people
00:03on the street about doing things by themselves.
00:06Now in recent years, Brits have shown that they're increasingly willing to go out to
00:09dinner or even on holiday completely by themselves with no friends there to keep them company.
00:15We want to know if people here in Manchester would be willing to do exactly the same thing
00:18or what would be the thing that put them off?
00:20If you're good enough at making friends.
00:23Brother, he went on a solo trip throughout Mexico and it sounded amazing and I think
00:27that when you're on your own, you have a lot of opportunity to do whatever you want.
00:32If I have a meal, I'd go by myself, fine, but holiday, I'd have to go with some mates.
00:36It depends, if it's like McDonald's and I'm hungry, I'll get it on my own, but if I'm
00:39going somewhere proper, someone else I'd want to go with.
00:41Yeah, or like get a train or something, just stop off and get a meal.
00:45Yeah, sure, I don't see any issue with it and when I'm out having dinner and I see someone
00:50on their own, I don't think less of them at all, I think it's fine to go and do solo things
00:54like that.
00:55Or you go and you make friends while you're there.
00:57If you can do that, then fair enough, I guess.
