Billy Jean King Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I see the Lorne Hotel on Sauchiehall Street has gone into administration with the loss of 30 jobs. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/19314568.renowned-glasgow-hotel-collapses-administration/ Never stayed there myself, but passed it a lot on the way to and from the west end into the city center on my weekends in Glasgow a few years ago.Seems to be partly down to an "adverse legal action" against the owners. Wonder what that's all about ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Was due to have my 1st jag on Sunday. Now self isolating due to being a close contact. I’m not suggesting the mad 55yo antivaxxer in the office has fucked it for the rest of us, but he does live in Pollokshields and the 4 other people in the meeting with him on Monday also have to isolate... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be partly down to an "adverse legal action" against the owners. Wonder what that's all about ? A quick google suggests it has a fairly interesting history. A dodgy Councillor and former owner of the place lost a case in May this year, the same article (although it's the Sun) suggests it was something of a gangsters' hang out place and attention-seeking cretin Katie Price tried to claim she had £100,000 worth of diamond jewellery stolen from there in 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If restrictions last any longer I cant see how any of the hospitality businesses can really survive, it would just seem too long and the build up of too much debt for all but a handful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 After my jag yesterday, I spent an enjoyable hour on the bog last night losing about 2 yards of small intestine. I felt like I'd spent the night in jail with Big Bubba and his five mates. This morning, arm a wee bit sore. Not too bad overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our place floated an idea that, if someone tested positive through not following rules on SD and sanitising, then they would not only be unpaid for their absence, but would be liable for the time lost by any T&T contacts forced to isolate. Unions obviously kicked that one straight out, but I would suggest it's an appropriate sanction for this fella. By all means refuse the vaccine - just keep yourself away from any possible collateral victims of your moral/scientific/tinfoil reasoning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the chains will recover with speed as with less local competition they will take all the business. In the Lorne's case the lockdown was the inevitable tipping point, they would have gone bust anyway. deosnt bare thinking about, its been bad enough as it is over last few years with the big chains making cities throughout europe and uk more and more similar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what the fallout from all of this is going to be but wouldn't be surprised if it is substantial because I just can't see how these businesses can possibly survive. I'm not sure how all of our football clubs have survived without crowds for example when we know that even with crowds many were breaking even or making a loss. It's baffling to be honest. Maybe someone else has a better idea about what's going on than me. yeah for football too it feels same, hard to see how so many who were struggling can survive in long term when the debts are amounting faster than ever with no sign of crowds coming back in any numbers or consistently yet Edited May 20, 2021 by BigDoddyKane 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) The testing requirements for entry are available on the following news story, since Emily Thornbury thinks our borders are like a sieve and I'm sure P&B favourite Devi will say exactly the same tonight on national TV. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57183259 Even on the green list you need a predeparture test and a follow up PCR no later than 2 days after arrival in the UK. And you'll need a negative PCR to leave. If you're vaccinated, which is what EU countries are starting to ask for, why are we demanding two tests for green list countries? And you'll need a negative PCR to leave the UK initially as well. Oh yes, I forgot: The same variants that are as much a threat to the UK as any other country, except those other countries trust the vaccines to deal with them. Remember following the science? Let's just subject people to unnecessary testing and costs because not doing so will lead people to see straight through the favoured variants line that's being used to justify ongoing restrictions and will be front and centre of any delays. Never mind, then, that we don't have the Icelandic and Albufiera variants in green list countries to worry about.
