1. Some firms shut because they were ordered to (pubs, cinema, non-essential shops etc- staff furloughed2. some shut because they had no work as a result (commercial cleaners that speacialised in cinemas etc) - staff furloughed3. Some shut as they were not safe initially to continue (Bentley cars etc) then gradually reopened as they made working space safe etc - staff furloughed initially4. Some shut because they misinterpreted what was said - poor management - staff furloughed5. Some shut because they were on the ropes already and used it as an excuse - poor management - staff furloughed
I can assure every one that my intentions were to just remind people they could go out on their bikes today without fear of being pulled by the police just for being on a bike.

Grahamm comes back with another false quote
If the people gather in mass at beauty spots, beaches, etc and don't keep to social distancing we will be back to lockdown. As a group we who ride bikes can do our bit, go out and enjoy your rides but use your common sense don't gather in large groups and when you do stop observe social distancing let us not be the ones blamed for another lock down. We are a small group of the public so easy for the masses to blame. ENJOY YOUR RIDES, KEEP THE RUBBER SIDE DOWN, BE SAFE

Gnasher, you obviously have an issue with something. From what you say, your wife is not one of the lazy sods as she doesnt have a choice. Satisfied?Others who run small businesses who have decided to close their business and grab the money for nothing on the other hand....

The real and pressing question has now to be are you really fit to be an Administrator with such bigoted views? I'd argue you're not.

Or is it you're just too lazy or unskilled to try? You're persistence in still making bigoted and slanderous comments about the small businesses now, is noted and I'm/we're assuming you have some kind of evidence or proof in these accusations, or did you just make them up based on small minded and clearly biased attitude you have towards people running small businesses? The real and pressing question has now to be are you really fit to be an Administrator with such bigoted views? I'd argue you're not.
You're not angling for the job are you Gnasher? . None of our posts will last on here for more than 5 foccin minutes unless they happen to chime with your opinion .

Mtread - Some small businesses where the "employee" is also the "employer" ie a director with a salary rather than from the dividends alone have shut themselves down unnecessarily so fall into the category ecasue they misunderstood the need to close
The change in message on Sunday was to try to make people realise that HMG do not have a bottomless bucket of money to pay for all the lazy sods who could work SAFELY but chose to sit at home instead claiming their 80%
One company I know of has furloughed half their staff. Nothing to do with Covid19, just because they saw it as a way of saving some money (no idea how) with the idea that the back log of work done by manufacturing will be moved to the finishing area instead. Prior to Covid, the backlog was building up and finishing were keeping up with the work they were being passed with a small buffer inbetween the two areas. Now they want to build up the buffer so furloughed the finishers for a couple of weeks.
