The bookies are going to be seething

Fucks sake. We're all booked up and paid for the National. Hopefully just keep it for next year.

Would be a laugh if some bookies went bust

Well, I for one am fucking SHOCKED

Did bojo say anything about announcing packages of help for any specific industries?

Pretty gutted for one of my friends. Getting married on Saturday at Mansfield Traquair. Not sure exactly how much they've spent on it but I doubt it's cheap.

Folk are understandably cancelling pretty much by the minute but because there's no official ban from the government the venue are refusing to cancel and obviously their wedding insurance isn't valid under these circumstances.

Just wanted some parsley and some Irn Bru. Got back to my house to find the door locked. Hammered on the door for ten minutes, no response. Crossed the road to look up at the windows. Saw my female flatmate sitting on the top floor at her computer. Saw her notice me. Waved wildly, indicating that I wanted her to open the door. She waved back then went back to her computer and ignored me.

Spent a tenner in the pub surrounded by old coughing stick-on coronavirus cunts hoping I'd see my other flatmate come home, getting harassed all the while by some jake from Ayrshire. Went back to house, hammered on door, no sign of either flatmate. Now cold and raining. Spent inordinate sum on bus into town to get on computer to contact flatmate on Facebook to find out what's the score. No answer thus far

Do you not have a buzzer? no

Could you not have shouted or signalled again? don't know her that well and didn't want to look like a paedo staring up at her window

Could you not have asked someone in boozer to use phone/facebook? half-floated the idea and was stonewalled, too much of a weed to ask again/more resolutely  

Right where I left them on the back step four hours ago

Classic TalkHearts.

That is the weirdest fucking story

Dont know her that well

A simple I'm.locked out would've been enough explanation

Why would looking up at an adult woman's window make you look like a paedo you oddball

If the government does shut down all restaurants, bars, theatres and so on, then they'll have no option but to bail them all out, and I'm assuming that's why they haven't done it. Insurance companies will only pay out if you've got business interruption insurance and most of these policies only cover closures due to fire damage, storm damage and equipment breakdown. Even if your policy does state that it covers diseases, they're usually listed as specific diseases and you'll be unable to claim as Covid-19 won't be on the list. 

Genuinely starting to get a bit panicked, that's us now had every table booked for Friday cancel.
