No political discussion in this topic. That is complaining about a country, a politician, a party and/or its voters, etc

Managed to freeze my Gym membership for three months today. Thought that was a really good thing for Nuffield to do in the circumstances. 

Fair play to Nuffield. 
 

I’m with Pure Gym and they’ve just given members free access to all Pure Gyms across the UK which makes no odds at all to me.

 

I actually went this morning (*awaits slagging off from certain posters :whistle:) and it was pretty quiet. Must say I was impressed with all the staff constantly cleaning and the place set up so kit is 2m apart.

 

The place was spotless and much cleaner than my house.

Bought a house using help to buy so we have been saving it over the last 4 years. The level of pissed off I’ll be if we have to use that just to pay bills isn’t even worth thinking about lol.

They say it''s good financial management to have 6-12 months money saved in case of a rainy day. Or in this case, a fvckin monsoon.

 

Hope you don't have to dip into it mate :fc:

Say what you want about his catching ability, but as a person he's been a brilliant personality for this club for almost a decade now.

Wow I wonder how many people have that % of their salary saved.....not many I reckon. 

Bummer, not me.

We have spent time hitting the mortgage hard. Good intentions don`t buy you much in Sainsbury's :(

I’ve got a scenario and want peoples takes on it.

 

Other half works in aviation and is the main income for the house with my pay covering about 2/3’s of the bills. We have enough money in savings to last for about a year without that income.

 

I pay £430 a month for my car. A great VW Golf GTI, leather seats etc. Would you make a rash decision to sell that now or leave it a month or so?

You got that on PCP? If so, some have small print that after a certain while you can just and them back without paying anything else and there's nothing they can do about it. I think you have to be at least half way through your deal though, I did it on mine a while ago.

Coronavirus: Supermarkets 'drastically' cutting product ranges
Simon Jack
Business editor

11 minutes ago

Supermarkets and their supply chains are beginning to buckle under the strain of customer behaviour in the face of coronavirus.

Several chains are "drastically cutting" the product ranges in store.

They also said they were telling their manufacturers to ignore making some products to focus on those for which there is greatest demand.

"We currently sell 60 types of sausages - we are moving to a fraction of that," said one.

Another said: "We need to make food manufacture as efficient as possible - it makes no sense to pause to change packet sizes or change from one type of pasta to another.

"We have 20 different sizes and styles of pasta, we are moving that to six."

Morrisons have reduced their bakery lines from 17 to seven.

While executives insisted there was no shortage of food, they were struggling to restock shelves fast enough. Meanwhile online delivery services are running at "maximum capacity".


However, there were warnings that the next potential weak link in the chain is at food manufacturers themselves. If production gets hit by staff absences that will mark the beginning of a new and potentially serious supply chain problem.

"We are not there yet but that is the next big worry."

Supermarkets also said they were having to use additional security staff in store to ensure customer behaviour did not get out of hand.

"Most people are sensible but some aren't."

They said that there had been no discussions as yet with the government about a police presence in store but it was a "subject that was being discussed internally".

The lengths some journalists will go for a story.

 

Elderly people dying.

The economy crashing.

Businesses folding.

People's liberties being removed.

Army about to be deployed.

 

Simon Jack:. But, but, but Morrisons aren't going to stock 60 different types of sausages!

 

Shoot me now.

Yeah it is mate and I’ve got less than a year left on it.

 

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll look into it.

They are definitely going overboard and include the BBC but I' sure they'll be few that will cause a fuss because they can't get their favourite sausage hence staff being abused.
