Getting closer, got 5 blocks of flats to do and the PM company don't think they've been done for 2 years ?
Keep an eye on your van around there.
We still have hotels and apartment blocks on hold and some shops, the hotels are saying they have no plans to open again this year !!!!
Can't see that happening. I think as soon as they say you can go to hotels then the majority of the population are heading your way, they won't be going abroad this year. Put it this way, if they don't open the hotels then you will have lots of people sleeping on the beaches, they'll come whether the hotels are open or not. If they open in July I'd expect it to be way busier than a normal July down there.
I am in regular contact with the managers and that’s what they said again last week
Hope so but the big business hotels are in a bad way. Everyday some group who own hotels are making many staff redundant. There's no working capital to play with so if they have a massive mortgage or debt then they just throw in the towel and hand it over to the bank. The BOE understand this all too well and now realise all the banks are going to go under so Bailey says he is going to act. Maybe he will run away or print another trillion to hold them up. In the last great depression, 3000 or 6000 banks (depends on what you read) went bust in US because there was many small banks. They say this will be worse so all banks will go bust unless Governments protect them or hold them up.
There's a lot of pressure to drop the 2m rule mainly because alot of businesses are saying they can't open because of it. If the R rate keeps dropping this will be changed.
Yes time will tell what happens , several of the hotels we do use mainly Eastern European’s for staff they have all returned to there homes and would have to come back to england to start work again all this would take time and the managers are afrade of a second lockdown August -October time and having to shut up shop again they said it’s cheaper to just stay shut until next year , but we will see what happens .
Aye, I'm expecting a second wave in October so they are playing it safe. Churches up here are desperate to open back up again but it might be to do with finances.
Jesus christ that's ridiculous!! I think hotels will absolutely open in the next 2 months or so, they have to or they are screwed. The last 3 days in particular with the retail side of things have been insanity. I have several theatres and I think they are a long way away from opening. Also several garages I do are still essential personnel only, which is stupid as there are hundreds of people going in and out every hour. Surely apartment blocks should be a goer for you soon?
That has been the case with food shops as well one touch and you buy at least your supposed to but plenty of people will flout what they should be doing, I think a lot of peoples confidence will have taken a knock and they won't want to go out shopping, but some people will be straight out, as soon as drive-thru's for food opened the queue's were stupid people can't be that desperate for certain things the same will happen at clothes shops
I'm just about to leave this morning to go to two of the shopping centres, I fully expect them both to be absolutely bedlam. People are itching to get out and do something. You're right, you just cannot account for the general public.
