3 million Italians are planning to fake their holidays this year.

"Two-thirds said they would make sure they informed themselves about the resort they were pretending to visit. But some were ready to go to quite extraordinary lengths to keep up the pretence: 24% were planning to buy an ultra-violet lamp to get a fake tan and 19% intended taking their plants to a neighbour."
