I’ll be interested to see what is announced in relation to rents. I rent out a property and am lucky enough to be in a position where I can afford to cover the mortgage if my tenant ends up sick or unemployed and unable to pay (in that situation I’ll offer to let the tenant pay when back on their feet). But others won’t necessarily be in the position to do this so both tenants and landlords could end up ****ed.

Yep, I know my landlord is quite a well off gentleman, so I suspect if I go to him with hat in hand I'll be alright. Not that I'll need to, thankfully I'm going to be getting enough money from the state til this blows over.

But I know a lot of cheap ****ers are not interested in that, they'll demand payment asap.

Trying to be as fair to him as possible, he can’t give a detailed answer in a short briefing even if he has one. I see LL’s point that it is largely loans which may not be helpful for some. Also see it as a step, finally and perhaps not out of choice, in the right direction. Wouldn’t be hugely assured if I was renting and hope, though don’t expect, that to follow.

Still think the lack of slack in the NHS is going to bite us terribly sooner or later.

The thing that gives me hope with the NHS is I know they are doing a lot behind the scenes in terms of plans and modelling for different scenarios and how they’ll react. Just have to hope it filters down and is carried out well enough. And that beds and ventilators in particular are made available in time.

So for any given X, we are free to use whatever "racially offensive"
terms for X we wish, until there is an "official name" for X.

Thank you for the clarification.

No but at that time it was found in a single place so that plus it being novel and unnamed led made it necessary

Got a message from my travel insurance company today, explaining where they had been inundated with calls. Only thing weird about it, I couldn't remember taking travel insurance with them! Anyway did a check and found an online policy <doh>
 
Boris begging UK companies to find the magic ventilator tree but ignoring European resources which make his [HASHTAG]#brexit[/HASHTAG] look embarrassing

Back in Europe, the UK has been told it is eligible to take part in a European Union wide-scheme on buying ventilators and other medical equipment needed in the coronavirus crisis.

A European commission spokesperson confirmed the UK was “eligible to participate in these joint procedures” despite leaving the EU on 31 January.

Under David Cameron, the British government in 2014 signed a voluntary “joint procurement agreement”, which was drawn up after the H1N1 pandemic of 2009 showed some countries found it difficult to get medical supplies on the open market. The agreement allows EU countries to band together to use their combined purchasing power to get a good deal on vaccines and other medical supplies.

The EU executive is currently organising joint procurement of protective clothing for medics, including masks, as well as ventilators. The commission spokesperson said “a very big majority of member states [were] interested” in taking part in the joint procurement on ventilators. The British government has not revealed whether it intends to take part in any of the procurement schemes.

I have no idea who my boss is when it comes to decisions like that. We're a listed company so those bosses are ultimately faceless shareholders. Others will be in the same position. I'm not an employee. I'm a number in the expenses column.

It's the Board mate ... the CEO will make recommendations but they will require the approval of the Board
