Virgin Atlantic files for bankruptcy, WH Smiths looking at 1500 job cuts William Hill permanently shut 199 shops and small businesses now fearing they have just none weeks left before they run out of cash.

Looks like things are going to get very bumpy.

Seaside resorts have all but gone. In the 50s and 60s where I live in Whitley Bay, it was a tourist magnet. In July Scots would descend en masse for what was known as the Glasgow fortnight. Mind you, the BR poster probably hasn't helped things.

'UK economy shrinks by record 20% in April'

https://www.ft.com/content/f25dc58b-32c9-499d-af66-f677f20c53a2

But if we take into account the injection of the £48 billion borrowed by the government. that the real shrinkage was close to 50% .

I live in a seaside resort. It’s very busy down here now. It looks like a normal August.

Just goes to show there should never have been a lock down, we should have let it rip through the population and hoped for the best.
