    Scoots will be looking for a hovel, once the Thistle Heathrow closes down.

    Or contact a couple of NHS Acute Trusts (especially if they're near a hospital, or Excel) to see if they need temp accommodation for additional staff.

      Are you now not getting cancelled bookings? And you've still got expenses for an empty place - might be prudent to see if you can get a short-term tenancy el pronto.

      Main reason we got rid of our Airbnb last year - 2 bed @ almost £500k in Edinburgh - it was time to cash in, market is a total bubble.

          You should put that on a t-shirt or a series of motivational posters.

                  For the sh1t storm coming our way .... and its coming ..... all that can really be advised is try and hold hard assets.

                  Most people don't realise that EVERY single fiat currency ever made has failed.... every single one.

                  There is a good possibility that all these supposed 'loans' being made now will never be paid back and will effectively be forgotten about.

                  This could even bring about a new world order with a global single currency.

                  Its frightening times and the aftermath of the virus could possibly be worse than the virus itself.

                  People say that in 2008 we should have just let the bankrupt companies go under. I just pray that in a years time Cummings is not proven right with his economy v people (supposed) message.

                    No they haven't. How has the Swissie failed?

                      Per se it hasn't but it has tainted the image of central banks with its cocking around with ceilings then suddenly binning them off, leading to markets shunning them to a reasonable extent. The franc is now treated with a degree of wariness compared to it having been a go-to fiat currency.
