It's also worth knowing if they are aiming at another year of loss. That cash will also be needed to pay creditors in the next 12 months. That's before we consider whether they have debts. I'm not saying they are broke either but their situation is not as rosy as you are painting either. Where did I say it was rosy?

PS The point I'm making is they are not "broke", as was stated earlier in the thread. That's all. Yeah. Spoke to my mate last night. He said they should be fine as they effectively have no debt. However, he has already financed and is in the process of financing several other major universities, so he said they'll get through it. The story about 13 universities going bust, is effectively them trying to get more government money to tide them over, without having to rely too much on aforementioned support from the banks. He's a guy who leads negotiations and signs off on the deals worth hundreds of millions of pounds, to finance universities and local authorities, so he knows what he's talking about. Compared to local authorities, most universities are in relatively good health! https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/renfrewshires-pandemic-bill-soars-55-22307831 Renfrewshire council are estimating that they have a £55 million bill due to the pandemic and I'd imagine that there are other local authorities that are in far worse states.

I've been mentioning this issue for a week or so, there's got to be consequences. Obvious one's are job cuts, services reduced, rise in council tax etc. Not going to be pretty.

St.Ricky Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) A poster suggested that Covid 19 ( which the same poster had suggested we were overreacting to) could rip the heart out of this island. Firstly.. Looks like he has detached Northern Ireland from the UK by the use of the singular. Two. Its brought people together at grass roots level.. Unless of course you spend your time sitting on your sofa watching Football with Canned Crowd noise, placing bets and boozing. Hardly likely to be involved in the wider community.. Yet purports to be an expert. Edited July 8, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 We have started a phased return to office working, in out rota 2/3 days then 3/2 days, essential staff and management only. Quite pleased. Went in today to prepare. Much busier train than last week and good to see a big increase in mask compliance probably well over 80% on both journeys. Also seemed to be a big rise in shoppers, even most queuing outside seemed masked. Nipped into Betfred on the way home where (understandably) for security reasons masks are not encouraged, are banks the same ? I haven't been inside a bank for years but see pretty big queues outside the few left open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 It’s becoming increasingly like North Korea 😂 Clap for Nicola Sturgeon organised https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/nicola-sturgeon-scotland-coronavirus-clap-18571043 The applause is set to take place on Sunday, July 19 at 8pm in recognition of Ms Sturgeon's role in guiding the country through the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Maybe a few boos in order for all the thousands of care home deaths that she’s responsible for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 BBC breakfast broadcasting live from Gatwick on as they put it "the first day of the big getaway ". Totally deserted not even 1 person bar staff for them to interview. Going to take a long long time to get the airline industry back on its feet.
