A deposit yes but not the full cost. You're not seriously suggesting that hotels/restaurants/pubs are not going to be out of pocket as a result of this nonsense from SNP today? 2 minutes ago, Left Back said: Not everyone is saying it’s busy out so we’ll put that one.down as another example of you being a tit.

Yes - anyone organising a works night out pays in advance. Normally weeks in advance. But you don’t care about the facts as it doesn’t play to your narratives. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will pay a small deposit per head. They won't pay for everything up front. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you going to predict weeks in advance how many drinks people are going to have? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is scoffing. Apparently it is busy out, and the foods all paid for.

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Of course, I'm sure literally every restaurant/bar/pub/club/event host take all of their money in the two weeks before Christmas via deposits and pre-planned events. Absolutely nobody goes out this time of year and just spends money in a place because they feel like it, so nobody's going to miss that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anecdotal takes by some folk out on the lash, isn’t the same as real word reporting by business owners that they have had multiple last minute cancelled bookings at their busiest time of year with no window to cover those cancellations.

I cannot recall anything that would stop them going ahead with this event but then again Scotrail have form for cancelling trains for seemingly spurious reasons. Scotrail were prominently quoted by Nicola a couple of times at lunchtime today as services have had to have been cancelled due to covid related staff absence. And now they’re cancelling optional leisure services?. IDK, anybody got any idea who’s taking over the running of Scotland’s railways shortly? Be careful what you voted for… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 We were booked on a Santa Express special Christmas train with my wee boy tomorrow from Waverley over to Fife but they’ve now cancelled it “following the First Ministers press conference”. Really gutting, although the boy took it extremely well, meaning I can’t tweet the FM “thanks Sturgeon sons crying”. There’s obviously going to be a big reaction to this outside any legal changes. Things are getting preemptively cancelled before they are banned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deegee Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Why on earth are they (Scotrail) cancelling Santa Express trips when regular services will be busy and running normally? Where the eff is the logic in this? Of course there is no logic; it’s just sheer nonsense and pandering to the vague messages about cancelling parties. Leitch was on the radio today saying folk should still go to concerts though and have meals out. It is the killing fields of Christmas Parties that has the Scottish Government losing their minds. Utter postering nonsense and a total overreach by Sturgeon who is always compelled to open her gub at any opportunity to highlight how caring she is, and we will all be duly grateful as long as you are one of her “fan boys” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite sad really. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
