And I don't think everyone is going to rush out for £10 saving. It will just hopefully encourage more people to eat out. Many will stay home.
If we all stay home, the economy is dead.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostNope they're trying to get people to go out AT ALL so restaurants don't collapse. Many are sitting totally empty so far.
If a restaurant employs sensible precautions it's pretty safe
Start getting ready for new lockdown people, this one will last longer.

Tory con for sure, and malicious one at that - get prepped for new lockdown in October (if not earlier)

Of course with interest rates as they are, buying in a few months night be a smart investment.
