Re: Coronavirus
Ah that sucks, we’re still pretty busy on the website and we’ve furloughed most of our hourly paid staff so hopefully we won’t need to go down that route for the salaried people.
I was due a pay review at the start of April, probably be a bit cheeky to bring it up just now though.

Our place are furloughing the production staff and topping up the missing 20%, I reckon that move has cut the total salary bill going out each month by a third which is a pretty impressive saving.

Yikes it's not much comfort, but the not-going-out business I reckon is saving me £300-400 a month, I should hope its the same for most.
I accepted a new job offer in January. I was desperate to get out of my current post, so took a big pay cut and moved from a civil servant job with solid job security, 35 days holiday and endless sick pay to a private sector job with none of those Seventeen years I've been there, and I pick probably the worst time possible to ditch a secure job. Doh.
Re: Coronavirus
Looks like some police forces have gone power crazy, fining people going to the shops because there’s more than one member of the household in the car. Feck all in the legislation covering that. They really don’t help their public image do they.
Then the force who were arguing about Easter eggs not being essential, food is food and you can’t decide what is essential - besides chocolate is a staple in military rations for its calorific value and morale boost

How about not having a sig at all?

I was promoted to commercial director of my company last month, well, the commercials aren’t going so great now...!
We’ve won loads of decent projects recently (Literally our best few weeks ever), but if we can’t build them, then we can’t invoice anything and the cash flow is fucked...
Same story for loads of companies I imagine - we can do the front end work from home at least, so we can try to be in a position to hit it hard when we can..

My BIL was stopped by the police last week to check on the purpose of his journey, he was on his way home from his work as a police inspector

One of my mates has just been blue lighted to hospital with CV. He’s been ill for about a week where he’s been up and down. They came close to calling an ambulance for him a few days ago but he perked up but has deteriorated badly over the last 48 hours and has spent the last 12 hours vomiting, bad fever and breathing difficulties. No underlying health conditions and only 42.

Due to hire car issues I had to pop home and swap cars today.
It was incredibly strange not being able to give the boys a kiss, only a good hug once I’d washed and especially just giving the wife an elbow bump.
What a weird old world at the minute.
Dave!

Re: Coronavirus
We need to go and drop some food off tomorrow or Wednesday, we both want to go because we will be leaving it in a safe place and not coming into contact with the other people. I also don't want the other half on her knee getting stuck on her own at her parents.
Sounds like the Police force could take that the wrong way?

You've been positively revelling in the doom & gloom, maybe you can cut it out now, for your mate's sake.
