Ani Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 10 minutes ago, Winchester White said: How does it work Traf? Had a strange email off my insurance company basically washing their hands of any of it. They say the holiday companies will offer a refund or alternative and it is their problem. From an insurance side. You can only claim for a loss. If they believe that loss is someone else’s liability they will not pay out especially if the loss is unlikely to be recovered. We have a holiday booked with TUI in June. They are saying we can change it for free but the holiday is £400 more. Only paid a deposit so far but the balance is due. If we do not pay it we are at fault. We need to pay it and then await a full refund when holiday is cancelled. Paying on Credit Card so if they go bust we are covered.

L/H White Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 new pub opened at the top of my road, might venture up tonight to check it out, i'll obviously sit in the corner on my tod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boby Brno Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Called into the Vaults on my way home tonight for a pint, as I usually do on Thursday and Friday. There were about a dozen people in, all spread around. The staff are constantly cleaning the glasses and the tables after a customer leaves. I never came within 2 metres of anyone including staff. I then caught a bus home. I use the bus by choice not necessity. (thinking about the environment) It was packed. A couple of people coughed and there were some nervous looks. Probably all the people on the bus don’t have the choice that I have. Ill probably go to the pub again tomorrow. I won’t be catching a bus again until this is all over.

gonzo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I’m in the gym. There’s about ten in. Both 5 a side pitches have matches on. The bowling alley downstairs is open and full, the skatepark thing has kids in on bmx’s and scooters. Safe to say folk in Thornton aren’t taking this seriously.

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 19, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2020 I actually think that part of the problem is the knowledge that it mainly only kills the oldies. Its added a layer of invincibility to younger folks and that could make this an absolute horror show. Hope not, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who don't give a fuck will suddenly start doing when their mum dies on a fucking hospital corridor waiting to get into ICU. That is what will start to kill folk, a lack of hospital resources due to wankers only thinking of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d avoid a busy pub but be happy to travel on a quiet train or bus. It’s called common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gym is a YMCA, you’d say quite a responsible organisation and charity amongst other things. If they deem it ok to be open, all guns blaring then folk can only go with what they can see surely.

I’ve got mates losing jobs, I myself have lost a small fortune in work and we’ve only just dipped our toe in. Yet I drove through St Annes today and it was it’s usual hustle and bustle self, people having a lark about on the green with their dogs and kids with kites etc. Few sat outside the queens having a beer in the sun.
