    Or, as a recent study suggests (can't find link) it will just fizzle out like SARS did.

    With fuel being a lot cheaper and wages driven down, coach trips to Southport are booming.
    Unfortunately his fleet of planes aren't fairing anywhere near as well.

    I don't need to tell you how well that's going at the moment.

    Pretty much as my user name says- I arrange UK based road/rail/sea excursions. Almost exclusively local mystery tours so far - get on a bus an visit several points of interest stopping at various retail outlets where the passengers will hopefully part with some of their hard earned thus justifying the payments I receive from these outlets. Have chartered a couple of river cruises too - one up the Thames and a couple on the Bristol Channel.

    Unfortunately, the demographic to which my offerings appeal is the group of people least likely to want to get on a coach once restrictions have been lifted. Also I'd just purchased an old Leyland Tiger bus to complete the whole down memory lane experience & that means I now have £15k sitting idle on a garage forecourt. Maybe I should trade it in for an old charabanc? That fresh air will blow the germs away

    So, feel free to laugh away at my predicament. Next mystery tour is probably going to be a one way trip to Beachy Head.

    Don't you dare speculate as to what sort of person EUK is!

    Whereas EUK has given more than enough clues for us to dare to speculate about his IQ.

    This thread reminds me of an episode of South Park I watched last night.

    Except nobody's posted a picture of someone else's avatar with a dick in its mouth. Yet.

    I certainly look down on you, if that's what you mean.
