    I thought Helicopter drop was what happened when the engine/transmission/a drive line failed.

    Or contact a couple of NHS Acute Trusts (especially if they're near a hospital, or Excel) to see if they need temp accommodation for additional staff.

    So are we agreed that not EVERY fiat currency has failed?

    As a well known brand, who are hardly new to business, they could have provided at least a week of notice, if not two weeks.

    For the sh1t storm coming our way .... and its coming ..... all that can really be advised is try and hold hard assets.

    There is a good possibility that all these supposed 'loans' being made now will never be paid back and will effectively be forgotten about.

    This could even bring about a new world order with a global single currency.

    Its frightening times and the aftermath of the virus could possibly be worse than the virus itself.

    People say that in 2008 we should have just let the bankrupt companies go under. I just pray that in a years time Cummings is not proven right with his economy v people (supposed) message.
