Oil currently 23$ a barrel yet our local supermarket is still showing unleaded at 1.12 per litre. Someone's making some money.

« on: March 17, 2020, 08:22:03 PM »Aah TB, I am so sorry to hear your sad news and we're all twittering about our holidays... They should be making exceptions for times like this, if people are happy to attend, obviously knowing the risks, then they should be allowed to. So sad.
Thank you Karen and I agree with your sentiments. My mum passed last Dec and there were over 200 people at the service. It will seem strange that we may only have around 20 for my dads. But hey, it is what it is, and hopefully we'll be able to organise a big gathering later in the year.

I'm on here looking for some light relief. But there doesn't seem to be any.
My dad passed away last Friday (nothing to do with the virus) and because of the current restrictions we're unable to give him the funeral he wanted. We've been told that the number of mourners who can attend a service is limited to immediate family only. Because of the advice not to go to pubs or other similar places we can't have the wake he planned for either. I think that celebrating his life will have to wait until well into the summer if then. Its all very sad.

It could get worse Jimbo until such time as we're allowed to travel again then it should pick up. In the meantime the travel industry throughout europe could be devastated. I'm an optimist by nature but I struggle to see how things will ever be the same. As of today how many of us still think our holiday will go ahead this summer.

Hey Sunshinegirl - we haven't stayed at the Olympia villa but it costs e650 per week regardless of season. They're very nice

Yep used Holiday Extras myself and they were reasonable. Also used Multitrip as well who are quite good. Both these were yearly policies.

Remainers have been unhappy ever since the original vote though they were confident that the establishment would save them. Even though they lost the referendum and the last election they will always be unhappy. Leavers are full of optimism and are looking forward to the future. This country is capable of great things.

It's a good move by Boris as it will concentrate the minds of everyone. I predict 1.25 by the summer though I'm a glass half full type.

Great news isn't it. Hopefully it will stablise in the mid 1.20s over the next couple of months before creeping up before the summer. It was around 1.25 in 2016 when the referendum was held.
