What choice would they have ? Who else is going to pay them more ? They accept it or leave under force majeure.

Even the cashed up Toronto have done it.

Workington went through a few different coloured strips in their first couple of years. Red & green, orange & black, red & white before finally changing to white and blue for the 1948 season.

So they basically had to wear whatever colours they could get enough textiles of to make enough playing strips.

I think it will be the same as furloughed employees, 80% or £2,500 whichever is the lower figure. All of those dodgy cash in hand builders etc and people who have under-declared their earnings are about to find it biting them where the sun don’t shine.

Went to Tesco in North Tyneside today and they’ve introduced an Ikea style one way system round the store. A follow the arrows kind of thing so nobody can bump into anyone in the aisles as everyone is going in the same direction. Seemed to be working quite well.
