Hopefully it works out alright for you mate.Third time in 18 months I’ve been on the chopping block. ***** trick by ovo like after guaranteeing jobs not 5 months ago. Hopefully after cutting so deep this time we will all no alright for a while and a bit of stability to return. Thought I’d signed up to secure job for life when I’d started 5 and a half years ago. Been nowt but uncertainty and worry!
That's going to affect the likes of Newcastle more than the likes of Sunderland.Going to get even worse when loads of businesses decide working from home a lot more is the way forward, a lot less footfall in city centres, maybe a bit more in smaller high streets to pick up some of the slack.
Lots and lots of people are going to find out just how much they've let the Tories destroy the benefit system, never mind, always jobs for those who want one, it must be true I read it on here..
Dread to think what the number of unemployed will be this time next year.
Public sector workers atiitude. Like that bloke on Question Time last week (can't recall his name) said: 'Why am I yet again the only private sector worker in this panel? None of YOU are in danger of losing your jobs, your homes, your livelilihoods'Lad who works where I do has 6 kids. He’s keep coming in for a week then going off for a week saying the kids have symptoms. He’s barely been here and as far as I know can have no action taken against him. Someone else has just gone off as they’re worried in case they catch something
Sadly I think any vaccine, if there ever is one, will be at least a year away at the very leastI’m trying to stay optimistic on this one. This isn’t a typical, cyclical recession, it’s forced because of covid. It’s all about consumer confidence to buy and borrow and if we get a fairly rapid turnaround with getting back to work and hopefully a vaccine, people will be queuing up to spend and borrow money.
Aye I saw that fella, makes a good point about the one of the many biases on question timePublic sector workers atiitude.

Never really thought about it like that but you’ll be right. I much prefer working public as you’re left to do your thing more and trusted. Like you suggest though it’s very much open to piss taking. That lad is an absolute disgrace and he won’t be the only one. Pisses me off knowing that I Have mates that will end up out of work soon while he’s sat on a full wage and child benefit for all the kids he has.Public sector workers atiitude.

I am mate not effecting my department this time but already dodged two lots of redundancy in the last 18 months.Hopefully it works out alright for you mate.

Maybe but I think a lot of people shop at lunchtime too, just wander around, have a look and impulse buy. They'll lose that.Disagree. People will always want to go out and shop, eat, drink and meet people. If they're working from home more often they're likely to have a few quid extra disposable income and a desire to socialise and go out, given that they're stuck in the house more. While a few fast food places might suffer from trade around dinnertime I don't think it'll change much else.

See they had a good day today. Not quite as good as Kodak but canny all the same.Dignity are one of the biggest funeral directors in the country, their share price on 3rd March was £5.95, today it is £2.32. Why do you think their share price has dropped so much if they're raking the coin in and it's such a profitable time for them?
I used to think you were mad and only thought about Stirks meat packs but I find myself agreeing with most of what you post now.I’m trying to stay optimistic on this one.

The share price did alright, guess the results weren't as bad as analysts expected:See they had a good day today. Not quite as good as Kodak but canny all the same.
Not really, their profits could be impacted by many a factor, I don’t think it’s lack of margin or revenue on their services. They could be taking the opportunity to pay down debt, purchase new vehicles, acquiring other businesses etc.The share price did alright, guess the results weren't as bad as analysts expected:
"For the 26 week period ended 26 June 2020, the company reported a pre-tax loss of £13.6m compared with a profit of £58.3m on-year, while revenue rose 12% to £197.1m."
Which backs up the point I made, there are more funerals but funeral directors aren't profiting from it.
