A mother has hit out against the Office of Fair Trading after it claimed Islanders are winning the battle of school holiday costs.
Last week, the UK Government debated the inflated costs of travelling outside term-time after a petition with over 170,000 signatures was collated.
The OFT said parents here have an advantage in being able to take holidays at different times to the UK - like during TT, which falls during England's term-time.
However, parent Sara Hackman says that's not true:
