H Wragg Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Most Ryanair customers won't be covered by ATOL and they have a big charge for using a credit card so most won't, and I think most insurance policies don't cover airlines going bust. I got refunded for Flybe flights by Paypal though.I didn't think charging to pay by credit card was allowed any more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It's looking set to become UK govt advice. Loved the Scottish government advice on facemasks - could be useful in places like shops, maybees aye, maybees naw. Not compulsory though, up to you, maybees aye maybees naw. The evidence is inconclusive, but some evidence suggests that the inconclusiveness of the evidence is in itself, inconclusive. So, our advice is, it might be good, if you actually have the virus. If you don’t, then wear one if you want... maybe in a shop, on a bus, in a Turkish men’s sauna. Whatever, just crack on, you daft cnuts. The advice I’ve read is that they can cause as many problems as they are supposed to solve.... facemasks, not the Scottish government. Edit: of course, they also said a facemask needn’t be a proper medical type thing. Just shove a scarf around your mouth. I’m thinking about how minging my St Mirren 2013 League Cup winners scarf got, after I wore it in exactly that manner through the winter - watching games in shite weather, remember we had three or four named storms? Fcuking thing nearly walked into the bath itself, looking for a hand-wash. Fcuked if I’m walking around trying to breathe through that in the summer. Might need to invest in a 2020 St Mirren ‘ha ha Hearts’ scarf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you paid by debit card then you should ask your bank to do a charge back. The payment provider should always be the next port of call if the airline isn't coughing up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much time as you’d think. To be fair, I’d be doing the garden or painting in my free time, so fair play to the man in the rainbow suit and braces. Making a lifesize model of a person with balloons is next on my list after I sort the garden out. Surprised that Throbber hasn't made a giant rainbow penis out of balloons yet. 2 hours ago, heedthebaa said: Just when you thought Thursday night clapping is the seethe of the week, along comes next Friday. Staunchness will see us get through this. 2 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: Masks improperly disposed of could be a contamination risk, i guess. The bigger danger comes from misinformation about effectiveness imo. This graphic i saw last night. I have no doubt the message it is conveying about who is wearing what and the reduction on risk of contamiation reducing accordingly is correct. But the numbers themselves are ridiculous. If people absorb stuff like this as fact like every other graphic shared on fb and twitter that is where problems would come from. We're struggling to supply care, medical and other services with masks, nevermind the entire population. Facebookers never think things through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It's actually 7 days for a carrier cancelled flight, 14 days is a package holiday. They’re obliged by law to give a refund within 14 days of being asked. Multiple court cases pending imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Father in law was on the phone earlier asking the missus if she was out clapping (she wasn’t). “Ah well I think you should be, they need all the support they can” And so it begins (not the clapping). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Any other groups of workers been added to the list of those we should be clapping for next Thursday? It would be rude if we missed some trades or professions. Maybe we could have different nights for different groupings. Ach, let's just walk about clapping all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 3 hours ago, Scary Bear said: Nobody is forcing anyone to go out and clap. There are no repercussions for not going out to clap. If people feel like doing it to show their support for the NHS or whoever else they are doing it for, it seems okay to me. It engenders community spirit. What I find more disturbing is people on social media criticising MSM for taking the government to task on things like lack of PPE for frontline staff and lack of testing. The ‘this isn’t the time for negativity’ defence for a completely inept government by members of the general public who are being failed by the same inept government is a worry. The rallying round some old soldier trotting round his garden on a walking frame make me raise my eyebrows. That’s makes less sense to me than the clappers. I assume this is the poppy people, some of whom are concerning with their antics. There’s nowt as queer a folk. Already, I've had criticism from some workmates when I mention I don't take part*. There have been reports of people being named and shamed on social media for not joining in. I honestly see this as the thin end of a very divisive wedge. Bearing in mind that when this is all more or less over/accepted as the norm going forward, many people's lives will have been basically destroyed, whether through relationship breakdown, unemployment, homelessness or bereavement, Human Nature says they're going to look for someone to blame. *i.e. when I am asked, I say, "no". I don't instigate the conversation as, in common with so much these days, it descends into a "whitaboot this, then?" tirade. Normally from people who think banging a pot is going to magically negate the effects of a decade of austerity 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
