Edit: It might just help their Tripadvisor rating though, so every cloud, and all that...

It is to a tough sinewy ex special forces hard man like SB.

However, pale and flabby types who live above busy kebabs shops in the epicentre should really start worrying....

Birmingham Airport could become emergency mortuary

That airport always was dead.

Birmingham Airport could be used as a temporary mortuary for up to 12,000 bodies in a worst-case coronavirus scenario after talks with several local councils.

The site - which would initially have space for 2,500 bodies, increasing if needed - includes a cargo hub, with hangars on the opposite side of the airstrip from the two passenger terminals.

Deputy leader of Sandwell Council Wasim Ali said: “In reality, we have to prepare for the worst.

“We really don’t want to have to use it, but if we do, then it’ll be available.”

A Birmingham Airport spokesperson said: “We have been in discussions with the authorities and we will of course cooperate to find a suitable location and help where we can to suport the fightback against this pandemic.”

The UK government is making £1.6bn available to councils to deal with pressures on existing services.
