Yeh I get that, but I wonder how many have stopped paying, unless in serious trouble, I can imagine companies still paying them, it’s taxed deductible, plus now the government are paying a % of previously paid corp tax back to companies that are going to post losses, business will want to spend to claim back. Think the government as give most a real chance of getting through this, what we don’t need is a second phase, don’t think the government will be so generous a second time

now you have worded it differently, by and lrge, I agree. Not all the hospitality sector will be f'd, but a lot of it will be, and it will be the smaller independents that suffer, but there is only so much that can be done.

The large cinema chains were already struggling (£5 to see a film in Vue, £7 a month for Netflix/Amazon etc.), I can't see people flocking back to them, so I definitely can't see them flocking back to small community cinemas.

Are people really going to go back to the pub to pay £2.50+ for a pint, especially if they are limited to two pints (depending on what you read and who you believe)

Some would say 'interesting' times ahead, others may say 'worrying' or 'troubled', the only word I could say with any certainty is 'uncertain'.

At the moment the best we all hope for is that everyone wakes up safe and sound tomorrow, sadly, roughly 700 a day aren't.

at least Victoria beckhams failing business will get a cash injection and Branson won’t have to dip into his billions!! Can’t fault the government for trying to protect the economy, but it will be abused by the undeserving, which is a shame

Oh I certainly agree with you there, Branson even asking for help is laughable, he is worth about £4bn, Delta own a huge part of Virgin Atlantic and have a net worth close to £13bn ($17bn). The list of chancers is as long as your arm, Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay to name two.

One of the starkest things that I haven't been able to find out is what happens after furlough ends, are employers obliged to take people back on the payroll?, likewise, if they make someone redundant from a furloughed role who pays the redundancy? why are furloughed employees still accruing leave?

There are many questions that will only be answered in the fullness of time, during which time we will have at least one GE, people will have had enough of "the government", the Conservatives will blame any failiure of Brexit on Covid-19, Labour will have the "it wasn't us, is was them" excuse ready to roll....

depressing isn't a strong enough word!

I’m hoping and thinking people will remember the companies people who have done the right thing, and those that have really not stepped up. Love weatherspoons, but Tim’s not done himself any favours. Branson the more I learn the more I’ll be avoiding virgin products! He pays zero corp tax in uk! Hopefully will be some positives out of all this, massive investment in green energy, Siemens sitting pretty in hull hopefully benefit, uk tourism should be massive, the Spanish and Turks don’t want us over there apparently, some beautiful places in the uk, I personally will be visiting more of them. Can see the ferry’s been more appealing to out of hull. This will change everyone’s behaviour. I think the USA are up shiiit creak, won’t be going there for some time. Nrl back on end of May, can’t wait, hopefully sl will follow suit

Id be interested to know how the fans are helping with merchandide sales, lottery etc - has there been a big take up?

1 mulberry training shorts.
1 mulberry training t-shirt.
1 black training shorts.
1 grey/white training t-shirt.
1 Parra eels shorts,
1 Parra eels t-shirt.

Free delivery, probably why they take forever to turn up.

Really like the nrl stuff, don’t think I’ve spent as much on merchandise ever as I am now, apart from the groceries, got nothing else to spend money on. Oh and shed load of beer

Done the lottery for about 15 years, I’ve won £30 and 4 tickets for bowling haha

The mulberry is lovely.
It suits my feminine side.

Ive bought two training vests and two t-shirts - i do like the mulberry

Not keen on the purple stuff but bought Polos and training tops from the first 2 lots that came out

I am planning to join Hull FC Live, but I don't like the anual 'auto renew' until canceled.
Anyone know of how to get around this?
If I sign up will I be able to cancel straight away, but keep this year before canceled

Auto renew should only be an option for those who want it.

Mulberry jacket arrived this morning - I look like a bloke in it.

You looked fine in mulberry stockings and suspenders in that last text photo you sent me.

Good combo with the 1990/91 home jersey I thought.

Just watch Mr B doesn't walk in on you when your taking them selfies for me.

This is gonna be interesting.

PM each other. Nobody else is interested.

Cant you just say these things to your mrs/other personality rather than talking to each other through here?

Jealousy will get you absolutely nowhere.

Good effort Seb but 1+2 never equals 17.

Interesting (and alarming) to read that the FA Premier League is preparing for the possibility of playing the entirety of next season (2020-21) behind closed doors.

Could it be possible that unless a vaccine is developed for Covid-19 that the same follows for Rugby League and we are unable to attend games until 2022?
