LOS MANCHESTELES

It's starting to seem like air travel to exotic, sun-kissed locales is a unattainable fantasy at the moment, but don't fret – the Oi Polloi nerve-centre has been hard at work trying to think of possible solutions to this holiday-less predicament we all find ourselves in.

And by golly we think we've done it.

For the modest sum of £24.78, you can experience the vibrant zone of Los Angeles without having to leave the confines of Cottonopolis.

Just dress like the chap above, turn the central heating, the hobs, the oven and anything else that produces heat to full, buy a 12-pack of Modelo, blast Snoop Dogg's seminal 1994 album Doggystyle through the tinniest speakers you can find, pay someone to drive past your window every four minutes in tricked-out Coupe DeVille and voila! You're in South Central L.A.

Alright, it might not be the most glamorous location in the world, but beggars can't be choosers.
