The JSA 14 day 'holiday' entitlement - can it be in your home town?
I'm foggy on the details of the 14 day holiday entitlement these days so does anyone know if you have to be away from home to use it or can you remain in your normal residence? Pointers to the relevant legislation if possible please.

The answer is no I am afraid. You have to meet this criteria:
in any week in respect of which he has given notice to an employment officer, in writing if so required by the employment officer, that–
(i) he does not intend to be actively seeking employment, but
(ii) he does intend to reside at a place other than his usual place of residence
for at least one day
(2) In any period of 12 months a person shall be treated as actively seeking
employment under paragraph (1)(p) only for the number of weeks specified in one of
the following sub-paragraphs–
(a) a maximum of 2 weeks;
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996/207/pdfs/uksi_19960207_310818_en.pdf
The Holiday form was re-titled to, "going away from home", which reflects the legislation more accurately.

...You can go on holiday in your home town.
if you need a break and wish to stay at home, you would have to provide an 'alternative address' on the JCP674 form.
