The "helicopter drop" is here

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.

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

Dunno about the Thistle, but: Homeless Travelodge residents turned out on to street

That is beyond horrendous, it's immoral.

As a well known brand, who are hardly new to business, they could have provided at least a week of notice, if not two weeks.

Another brand to boycott after all this is over, along with Sports Direct.

So are we agreed that not EVERY fiat currency has failed?

Something tells me the memory of the sophisticated clientele that use those brands shall not stretch that far.

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.

Not in the UK

You certainly keep going back to the Thistle.

I thought Helicopter drop was what happened when the engine/transmission/a drive line failed.
