I'm not saying it will be 36 weeks lockdown...we are not even in lock down in the true meaning. However as Elon musk would class it, we make the machine that makes the machine and the supply chain for that kind of production is long. Say if you make cars and your iron ore mining company is shut down, you cant make cars, if your glass maker is shut down, you cant make cars, if the oil company is shut down, you cant make cars, if your plastic moulding company shuts down, you cant make cars, if your paint manufacturer cant make paint, you are shut down....if your rubber manufacturer is shut down, you cant make cars, if your dealerships are shut down, you cant sell cars, if your client base is out of work..you cant sell cars. this whole supply chain is not a quick process. its not like the guys turn upto work and you are making cars....its a WHOLE lot longer than that..and thats if you still have customers that are in a position to buy them! A lot of cars today are bought on PCP or the such....and those guys will not be after jumping into the local show room to spend a big % of the monthly income when they cant even buy bog roll ____________________ Current bikes...cbr929, KDX200's, Rd125lc mk2, RGV250's |

Working from home, did so before for the most part, but, no, classed as an essential, so, whilst 60% of workforce furloughed, not me, wouldn't mind, missed out on a really good redundancy package as well last year ! ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Doing a lot of home working/non public contact work at the vets here. The work I am doing takes longer because we're only letting the pet in through the door, not its owner. This takes longer and we are trying to only have one of us in at any one time so we don't all get sick together.
Large animal stuff is largely unchanged, the cows don't know there's a virus on.
In fairness, we're really busy. It's a busy time of year anyway because of lambings and calvings and the small animal stuff takes a lot longer due to distance working. We also have a fair few staff off sick.
I spent two full days doing nothing but sit at home fielding phone calls, dispensing treatments and triaging things that urgently needed to be seen to another person. Busier than normal working days.
Saturday morning though.. usually utter bedlam and it's like a ghost town in here. With most people staying at home, they already sorted their problems through the week.
As of Monday, we've probably hit the magic number of people who have already had coronavirus to avoid a complete meltdown in staffing. Two of them come out of self-isolation today. Maybe a bit of a microcosm for the rest of the country? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

5 of us left at our place, the rest (including two relatives of one of the directors, and a director also!) Furloughed. Accounts is working from home constantly, apart from when they need to come into the office for paperwork reasons, the rest of us are splitting shifts and working from home half the week while the others are in the office.
Going to put myself forward for furlough tbh, and let one of he lads who has more outgoings come in if he wants and the bosses agree to it. I'm lucky enough to be able to manage on an 80% wage. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

I’ve been told I’m definitely fine until the end of the month, then who knows.
Money wise I would be okay, I earn more than the max, but I’ve always been cautious. I don’t have any debts really and I own my own home.
My issue is boredom, I’ve been working from home and I like being busy. |
Now people can't go to gym's, pubs, clubs, restaurants, holidays, tourist attractions, cinemas, concerts and the like, I'd be amazed if anyone was worse off really though. How much do most people spend on social entertainment a month? It must be 20% surely?
The 80% should be plenty when people have nothing to do but stay indoors. On £26K a year, after tax that's about £90 a week less (after tax).
How many households/workers don't spend £90 a week on non essentials including holidays? ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

That's left wing propaganda nonsense.
A full time minimum wage job is a minimum of almost £18K. Most people are not on minimum wage in the UK, only 7% are.
Quote: | The Low Pay Commission estimates that there were 2 million workers paid at or below the minimum wage in April 2019, around 7% of all UK workers. |
The average is...
Quote: | "Average Salary UK | 2019. The Office of National Statistics has released its provisional update of the UK Average Salary 2019, showing that the average full-time salary is £36,611 " |
Or maybe you mean "median"?
Quote: | "The median income - or 50th percentile - is £24,897 and for full-time employees it's £30,353." |
