One things for sure, the leisure/tourism industry is ****ed.

You don't get owt for nowt, that's for sure, but I'm not going to worry about the next crisis until we get to the other side of this one.

From this evening’s press conference, if you’re in the PAYE system it will be reflected from that for zero hours contracts, but otherwise I think the other measures will cover you. Make no mistake though, there’s still no magic money tree, these grants (whilst I applaud them) are coming from increased national debt, and there’s only one way they can be paid back when (if?) this all settles down - by the taxpayers.

That's very cheap pork, a whole pig for 21 shillings. Sorry, you're probably a bit too young for that to mean anything

I barely remember it myself...
