Hotels and tourist accommodation Hire cars Cleaners of said accommodation Suppliers of food to hotels Suppliers of goods to cleaners Taxis Removal businesses Man and Van businesses who collect items from UK, or take them there Manufacturing businesses who cant attract qualified staff (replace "manufacturing" for "any") Betting businesses who cant retain existing staff (replace "betting" for "any") Events businesses who reply on bringing guests over. Accountants to all of the above Marketing businesses who work for any of the above Recruitment consultants Office cleaners to any of the above Web designers to any of the above Marketing consultancies to any of the above Do you see how this is panning out yet? Distilled down to what is actually real or genuinely affected in that list: It's tourism and, maybe, removals. What do you want the government to do differently?

trmpton Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Just now, pongo said: Distilled down to what is actually real in that list: It's tourism and, maybe, removals. Erm OK. Have you seen the state of loads of specialist industries over here lately? Staff are leaving because they miss their family. New people cant be recruited because why would you move to a Little Rock you cant get off. Businesses are retracting, others are simply shelving plans to expand and others are cancelling plans to relocate here. Every one of those then knocks on the lawyers, cleaners, IT people, marketing people, coffee machine suppliers etc. It knocks on right across the economy. I guess if you don't talk to the people impacted you can just pretend it isn't happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trmpton Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) He has a point to be fair, with the exception of the bit about the prison and them maybe not bringing it in and getting a kicking on the way out. Most of the rest of what he says is valid imo Edited October 8, 2020 by trmpton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to people all the time. Obviously there are concerns about the state of the world -- but most people are pretty upbeat. Some have more work than ever. Where do you think the divide is? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
