It would certainly explain why their numbers are so out of line with what is happening pretty much everywhere else. Interesting, So maybe blaming the underlying conditions rather than COV19?

The fact that our hospitals pretty much run at full capacity all the time meant that this was always likely to run away from us very quickly yet still I can help the spread of it by going to the gym, going to a restaurant and go out pubbing and clubbing with thousands of other people tonight.

Kingman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hays Travel (the geniuses who bought up Thomas Cook) are probably on the way out.

Kingman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Guess it was inevitable!.. I think the government would do almost anything within its power - if not more - to stop a housing market crash this year given everything else that's going on. But then again, maybe it simply just can't prop it this time round.

Much quicker than we expected, We have Tesco and Boots on board already with negotiations underway with a number of other chains. This shite would have taken months in normal times. We;ve done it from inception to delivery in 4 days, including talking to the chains Just proves things can be achieved in a short space of time if everyone comes together 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed ludicrously ambitious of them to think they could go from a relatively small company to succeeding where TC couldn’t. My wife worked in travel for most of her career but got a job with local council couple of years back. About 4 months ago Hays tapped her up and she almost joined them but it just didn’t seem right. It just looked doomed, no infrastructure, no money, no processes, no systems. I couldn’t see them surviving even without this Edited March 20, 2020 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Feeling a bit off today, slept for most of the day, got a bit of a sore throat, chest is tight. I'm not in a panic as I don't feel like I'm dying, I just hope it's not the dreaded Trump Flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
