We are open for tourists in Greece from July 1st.This is going to be catastrophic I fear.

TBF I cannot see many people travelling this year
Having said that we prepaid a hotel in Gran Canaria for easter
Its changed now to Christmas.
We are not sure whether we will go or not

There's plenty of companies doing the numbers on how much they are paying in rent, heating, water, car parking arrangements, travel expenses etc. and thinking, hmm... I dunno about renewing that massive lease y'know...

I'm currently negotiating handing back half of the car park to the landlord.

The sticking point is that the CEO wants to keep the big sign as he thinks street frontage is important. On an industrial estate. For a factory that makes auto parts. We're not really getting a lot of walk up trade.

The new world and the old world colliding.

I’d be very surprised if there are flights from the UK tbh

O Leary wants 40% of his aircraft flying in July

Now that the Dominic Cummings affair has been successfully brushed under the carpet I am looking forward to seeing Boris Johnsons world beating track and trace system on the first of June

Off you toddle.

That line “I cannot in good faith tell them they were all wrong and one senior government advisor was right” is going to ruin Cummings. It’s both spot on, emphatically true and easy for people to understand and agree with.

Is the fixation on the R number replicated in other countries? I know it was briefly mentioned in Germany but it seems we’ve become transfixed on it.

its one of the guiding principles of how we in Ireland come out of lockdown
Its about .5 at the minute
If it stays that way we come out of lockdown in 3 week stages
If it hits 1 we will go back a stage

Exposes the elitism and poor judgements when jingoistic sentence won't suffice. A Government that is disconnected from the people it supposedly serves...

Meanwhile, in the commentariat....



Try to remember when lockdown was announced

I honestly would hate to work full time from home.

My missus does it 2-3 days a week before all this happened and she said some of the people in her work who have done it full time often tend not to bother will works events or team building/nights out etc as they dont feel like part of the team as they are out the loop.

Something to say about the social/mental wellbeing of getting out and about and seeing/talking to people.

O Leary wants 40% of his aircraft flying in July

They cancelled my Ryan Air flights to Spain at the end of July last week.

Which really surprised me, as I was expecting it to be last minute.

To be honest, mate, I've never bothered with works nights out anyway as it's generally just 20 people with nothing in common besides an employer pretending to have fun. But then I've always been the sort who just does my job and goes home.

How much was the cancellation charge?
