    They don't need extending forever. Might be needed for a couple of years or more though. But it is sure going to be a shit roller coaster ride.

    If those short term measures are not extended the figures given out for Brexit will be a drop in the ocean.

    China will be punished. But not in the way many want. Too many people seem to be using the virus to push forward an agenda instead of considering the consequences of the virus. Tens of millions of people minimum are going to lose their livelihoods. Many of those already struggling will end up...

    Your bullshit? I agree if that is what you mean.

    You hate it when someone shows you to be wrong. Why not just admit it. Or would you like to point out where I said China would be overtaken by anyone? Of course not. You just do a G and make your own story up.

    Nobody does it as cheap as China as you stated? I am aware that isn't true.

    That person was tested in 2019. The virus was being hidden from the world in 2019. Remember the doctor who got arrested for speaking out in China? He ended up dying from the virus. So nobody outside China got it? We have thousands of visitors from China.

    Happens all the time. But most don't realise until it affects them personally. It is rarely the work force these days that sends companies under.

    Shows you don't know a lot. China does a lot more though as it is a much bigger country with a massive population.

    They have tested the sample from that same person several times and keep getting the same result. The virus would have started slowly. It wouldn't have been thousands of people getting it from the first day.

    People won't extend themselves to keep others in work. A lot of people who would normally have had a new car now won't be able to have one. Business owners who would normally have had a luxury car will jeep what they have or downgrade when having another new car. That is the reality of the...

    Which is why I said in 3 years time a 3 year old car will be worth much more than now. All 2nd hand values will go up. So then it will be worth looking at new again. And hopefully the world economy will be back on track by then.

    They have given guidelines. But done in the normal Tory way. More suggestions than orders. They suggest distancing. They suggest better hygiene facilities. About time they grew a pair and did the right thing even if it means the rich owners have to pay. Strangely enough the typical Tory voter.....

    To me the more expensive an item the more the effect on sales. Nobody needs a new car. If anything go about 3 years old for less than half the price on average. But in 3 years time there will be a lack of used cars at that age. Values will go up. Maybe that is when new sales will also go up...

    So a management thing then. Hopefully they will have a plan put together before you open up properly that includes distancing and better hygiene facilities. It helps knowing you are much safer at work than most other places like shopping for instance.

    Certainly not surprising when we are supposedly not allowed to go out to buy non essentials. Most people have had their pay reduced or work ended. And I can't see them getting anywhere near back ti the previous levels for a long time. Most cars are 'sold' as hire arrangements. Look at how many...

    About 500 work at my plant. If we can't keep 6 ft apart the job stops. It doesn't restart until we can work out some kind of solution. Mechanical aids have made a lot if 2 man jobs a 1 man job previously. We are now back up to full production even after a lot are off work as they have or a...

    Toilet roll scandal : covid rip off

    Have only noticed small increases on normal prices. But what I have noticed is much less special offers. My favourite baked beans are Branston. Used to get a pack of 4 tins for £1.50. Now you are lucky if you can get 3 tins for the same price. I drink Strongbow. Used to be able to get them for...
