I can see me being laid off again soon, lockdown or not. All the companies we supply are shutting down. It will be hard to live on a small amount we will probably get.

Another 15 years at least before I can retire, that’s providing the goalposts don’t get moved again.

Roughly the same for me, hoping to stay working but my thoughts are with all those affected by the present situation.

After todays announcement I am fooked, 90% of my business is delivering to customers in the hospitality industry. I am usually less busy in the winter. Hopefully the government will help me out but I suspect it wont be as good as it appears.

Hopefully the measures outlined by the chanceller yesterday will be put into place quickly to ease the financial suffering of those affected by their employment effectively disappearing overnight.
