He hasn't been around for a while which is highly irregular.

I hope all is well with him. I like his blunt, intelligent, helpful replies.

 

[Marvo]

I also noticed he wasn't around. Hope he's okay and just too busy with work and enjoying real life.

 

[telectrix]

maybe he's just slipped off for a haircut.

The events industry is going to the wall at the moment due to having been deemed 'unviable' and the West End is basically shut, it's hard for lots of us at the moment. Really nice to see some care and concern going on here.

The irony is the "line in the sand" for Brexit over fishing rights, yet the West end theatre alone contributes more to the countries GDP and is sidelined! At least one of my mates is also totally screwed (drum technician for live shows) so I know it is pretty grim for many folk. At least the folk on here have some sort of alternative business for just now, even if it is difficult as out of the usual circle of contacts.

Depends, how many fingers does a fish have? Might limit their maths a bit.

Very respected member in my book.

Not sure I see the irony with that...

Brexit and Covid are two very different issues. The issue with theatres is that they tend to be small with very close seating... so high risk for spreading viruses. Not an easy way to fix that one. Maybe seal everyone into a plastic bubble of some sort. There's already ooodles of financial help for affected people. As far as I know... I don't think it's been deliberately 'sidelined'

The Brexit issue is all about France wanting continued access to our fishing grounds as if we were still a member of the EU (it's blatant 'cherry picking' that Barnier & co. told us was not acceptable). Access to our fishing grounds is not for financial reasons... but for reasons of sovereignty over our waters. As I understand it... we've offered the EU an annual licence arrangement, but they want permanent access.

Can we try not to become facebook with all the Brexit C**p we have enough of it elsewhere without it ruining this forum as well.

FWIW I haven't heard back yet. But I can go for days without being able to answer calls, I've worked up to 45 hours at a stretch without a break, so he might be tied up in that kind of situation.
