Re: Lockdown
I'm surprised, mildly jealous but also shaking my head. 
I love a beer in a pub, but **** me, to pay and drink out of a plastic pot, whilst fannying about with a mask and keeping 2m apart - it's just not worth the hassle.

I'm actually quite enjoying the myriad of family pub quizzes at the weekend. The time catching up and having a laugh and a beerio together is really great actually. Never spoken to the parents so much....did a football quiz with my old man for 2 hours at the weekend, was brilliant.

Got the call today. Still employed got given a mighty pay cut until end of summer and 'reduced hours' (good one), also got an apology for the lack of updates which was, you know, something.
Putting into perspective, I'm relieved and happy to just crack on as normal.

Many weeks later and having received full pay at the weekend, the silence this week has been deafening. No conversations, no updates, no nothing.

Re: Lockdown
You got the next best option available mate , you've got to be pragmatic on this situation . There's some major changes coming to us all in some way shape or form . We've been lucky as we've kept operational but i've been told to put together a mighty restructure proposal for June.

I think this is bad because there is genuine fear mixed into the known unknowns and huge pile of unknown unknowns.
