A4E, agreed about the transferable skills, even hobbies help here if it's got a unique attachment to it. I've been able to add data entry to the CV since cross referencing pokemon cards with eBay values during lockdown. That is far from my trade and interest, but number one thing for me atm is cash flow so will do anything for now with a view to more meaning full employment later. Might even go the del boy route buying and selling stuff.

I got a new job at 57, and then another at 60 - if you have any transferable skills you’ll be fine 👍

So this is a pure guess, but I imagine we'd have to balance launching the new kit for as long as possible. I imagine they're some sort of variation on 'cash in advance' so although they might bring in money, they might also cause quite a dent in cash flow. Plus the factories where they're made may have had their output affected by Covid restrictions.

Does anyone know if we will get 3 new kits this season because they'll need to have the new badge or will the third kit use the old badge?

Can I get a more efficient boiler than my current 12 year old one.?

CW says he has been to Auschwitz and Dachau, but when I went past Fred West's house after a pre-season friendly at Gloucester he accused me of being ghoulish

Spit - I was 56 when I started at Sainsbury's.

What's the chances of getting a job if you are over 50? I might be lucky and get a job cleaning tables in wetherspoons

Yeah TF. I have immediate savings to last for about 6 months and shares enough to last about another 2 years (that was my retirement money though of course) but once that is gone I can't afford my mortgage. I'm thinking of applying to drive for Sainsburys at the moment just to get through the next year until I can pay the mortgage without penalty for early repayment.

I've just spent £1100 getting some glazing done and a new door fitted, missed out on that as well.

It’s definitely going to be a rough ride RS and I can’t see the job market bouncing back to how things were pre-lockdown for many a year unfortunately. I can only see this meaning some of the haves will have to join the have nots, while the still haves end up with even more.

I like the Green Homes Grant scheme. Been meaning to get a new front door.

Don't get me too wrong, I actually sort of support what is being done. It's just it too late for many of us sadly. Looks like I may be selling up and moving back to Cheshire. some time before next March.

From the FA Cup Classic link above, if you watch from 7:15 when the ball goes out for the corner that ended up being Schmeichel’s offside goal, watch out for Cantona losing his shit at a fan for holding on to the ball. Maybe Eric hated Selhurst park as much as we did :-) [Link]

'Eat Out to Help Out discount scheme will provide a 50% reduction for sit-down meals in cafes, restaurants and pubs across the UK from Monday to Wednesday every week throughout August 2020' [Link]

Oh, and well over 30% of some of our worker groups have already gone. We run Benugo coffee stores, Searcys champagne gafs at places like the Gerkin, the catering at London Zoo, Royal parks like St James Park, Museums etc. Many of those staff have already been made redundant.

Monday to wednesday 50%off you meals in restaurant and pubs

:-(, not :-) obviously.

Sunak's announcement(s) are too late for me it looks like. I'm likely to be made redundant next week from the 'hospitality sector'. Loses already announced and in consultation, company are hardly likely to put them on hold becuase of this :-)

*(most of those)

I’m pretty sure those who can afford a holiday will be staycationing for most of the next year.

Everyone should holiday in the UK.save the planet ,protect your carbon footprint.get the uk economy moving!

Since being a dark tourist as a subject atm, can recommend the Netflix series of the same name. There is a lot of good stuff on there, journalist David Farrier is the host, is pretty good too.

Trebor - I went to GZ several years ago, and it was indeed moving. Having been up to the 104th level of the World Trade Centre in 1980, when I returned to New York decades later, I felt I needed to go there.
