Shops too

Shops too

?

That should be shops too?!

Not ? to you BarbedBloom

Well, that will upset Mr Wetherspoons

I'm worried we don't yet have todays new case numbers. How bad is it going to be?

Italy

Chris Whitty said shops

As good as this sounds, it's all coming too late for those who have already lost their jobs. I cannot help but think its kicking those who are now unemployed whilst they are down.

Shops? I missed Boris and have just tuned in. Bloody teatime press conferences

I had an email earlier from a nearby council gym, that they have closed and are cancelling all direct debits. No idea if my gym (also council, but my area) will be doing the same. I wasn't going to cancel my membership as figured theyd have staff to pay

Agreed PleaseStopCrying - could’ve done this last week

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ITALY!!!

That's okay @Saveourpeople. I knew what you meant. Rishi said shops to close.

Chancellor said shops.

Incredible economic stimulus

Does anyone know what is currently being said I terms of business and grants is applicable in Scotland too ?

The Chancellor said shops, but Boris didn't.

Didn't he say the wage support was backdated to 1st March? Or did I mishear?

Up to 80% of wages up to £2500 a month will be provided up to 3 months

Prob not that bad @SingforAbsolution we thought that yesterday but they were toooo bad.

@ohcarriemathison think so

Yes Divisionbelles 1st March

@divisionbelles he did say it would be backdated
