Yeah of course the list goes on. And on......... and on..........
But at some point it's got to stop.
It would be impossible for everybody to be happy. If they even gave me 50% of my last return, I'd pack up tomorrow and do what they are asking of us all.

Ok.
50% of what then? We don't even know how long a lockdown would be. They're not going to pay out 50% of 12 months if you're off work for much less than that.

Surely you'd just pro rata it by day/week/month. 50% of last year and I'd stop tomorrow.

Pro rata of what? We don't know how long it will be. And until we know, you can't pro rata 50% of anything and how long would it take to get paid?
It's all pasties in the clouds anyway; it won't happen.

Hi Griff, Im working on the principle of lockdown and us not being allowed to work. If its a 2 month lockdown then last years tax return divided by 6. Then 50% of that.

Agreed, it'll take an age to get it. If we follow the Italians we won't be banned from working so we'll get bugger all but public distaste will effectively ban us anyway.

Looks like a meet up in Lymm cafe is out Dave😱😱😱

Let us know if that happens, I’ll pop along for a brew. It’s about a mile from my house.

[KS Cleaning]

Great start to the week for me...
Very 1st house, can you leave it until further notice, my wife and I are self employed and we have no work to go to.
2nd house, cleaned as normal, got paid, then was told to leave it for now as she is a self employed dance teacher and all classes are cancelled.
Felt like I was walking on egg shells at that point but thankfully things improved and most customers were glad to see me. I got a further 2 cancellations by text, both self employed taxi drivers, so I replied to them that it was totally understandable in the current situation.
I do think the cancellations are going to multiply in the coming weeks, but I will continue to work until I’m told otherwise.

[chris turner]

Pretty much all of my commercial work, including nando's, rang or emailed me this morning to postpone all work.
Only 1 residential has said to leave it this time though so not too bad.
Until full lockdown is enforced this week that is....
Just hoping something is announced for us self employed.

Good lad!👍.....just keep working if u can.....at a distance naturally...
even in a severe lockdown your allowed to go to work if your not in close proximity to other people and cant work from home....

[Stoots]

Well I did work all day today with only 1 cancel.

But what a farse it was. Like working a bank holiday. Cars and kids everywhere.

I think I'll call it a day at the end of this week. Nevermind the virus I can't do with people being in.

[koopmaster]
