Crap, i'll have run out of money by the middle of April. I'm also concerned that those of us eligible for the business grants will be contacted by letter. Not much use when I can't get in the shop to retrieve said letter.

Greeting cards, party supplies etc. It's as dull as it sounds. The customer base is predominently older so once the Government started asking older people to stay at home sales went south. It's easy enough to list cards on ebay but unsurprisingly there just isn't the demand to bring in more than...

My retail unit has bene shut since Sunday although sales collapsed well over a week beforehand. I grabbed a load of stock on my way out and am now selling a few bits and pieces on ebay to try and keep some money coming in. Lots of hours and very little money. I'm waiting to be able to make a...

The Welsh, Scottish, N Ireland figures are released first, the English figures are released a couple of hours for some reason.

UK now on 5018 cases, up 1035 on the day.

I think the government paying 80% of wages will make it more cost effective for a lot of the remaining non essential retail shops to close rather than stay open. Dorothy Perkins has decided to close all their stores from tonight for a start.

Now the USA are starting to take it seriously their case numbers are flying up. Another 1,500 added to those figures in the past couple of hours. Give it a couple of weeks and they could be past 100,000.

There doesn't seem to be any official confirmation of this news. Wales Online reported it but then pulled the article.

I was in my local earlier expecting total carnage but it was quiet. Everything in stock too. Really quite surreal considering some of the things i've seen recently. Oddly they have upacked all the toilet rolls though and are selling them loose one at a time unpackaged.

Good grief, my wife has just had a text message off of one of her full time 'disabled' brothers saying where's the help in this bail out for him and his equally 'disabled' twin. They both get more than enough to comfortably live off whilst having plenty left for cars, fags, enough booze to be...

Yep, very few insurance policies will cover anything like this. Some of the biggest companies will have had such clauses written in but most won't. Business interruption tends to be fires, floods and whatnot.

France and Spain have announced lockdown with their cases pushing what, 5,000 and 6,000. If we were to maintain a 30% increase daily we would be at those sort of numbers by next Friday / Saturday. 20% and we would be looking at maybe a week Monday / Tuesday. I think lockdown is probably going to...

Anyone else work in retail, specifically anywhere not selling food? Hows business at the moment? The place I work is as quiet as I can ever remember, today in particular would be a bad day any day of the week let alone a Saturday. People do seem to be giving my town a swerve at the moment even...

If your friends know your situation and are still applying the pressure then they are not your friends. They are twats. Best wishes to you and your family.

I hadn't realised just how badly Ipswich have fallen away recently. 19 point and 4 wins in their last 20. They will probably need 7 wins from their last 9 to sneak a play off place.

Caroline Flack. Not sure on the circumstances yet but this will become a big story no doubt.

Kirk Douglas, 103. Not a bad innings.

Pretty much any real life police series I watch on the telly that tells you the sentence the criminal got for the crime being documented. One lone policeman got attacked and had the shit kicked out of him. 2 members of the public couldn't even pull the yob off of him. The sentence was 3 months...

He was on a rolling one year deal at Exeter and they couldn't afford to sack him so he worked a year notice when they no longer wanted him. I can't imagine after that he really wanted to hang around any longer.

I'm testament to that. I read the initial story in a few different locations but didn't see the follow up make any column inches.
