Just pretty much confirmed that social distancing is with us for a minimum of twelve months.
So in terms of the elderly and vulnerable, are we anticipating that they will be asked to pretty much isolate at home for that period? |  |

Only trouble with Ryanair going under is that there are a lot of smaller European towns who have built their entire local economies around the fact their tiny little airport now gets a flight from the UK.
Ryanair are obviously awful but it would devastate many places if they went under.
On pubs etc, you are likely right but it's going to be a hard sell if schools are open and people are at work. If neither of those things happen it will be awful - kids won't have played with other kids for 9 months.

Ryanair are only awful when you don't want a cheap flight. |  |

Nah, they are awful all the time but you tolerate it because it's a cheap flight.
There is a definitely a tipping point though where the Ryanair flight cost with extras gets close enough to a better airline cost that you just get that instead.

Social Distancing can come in many forms though.
What we have now won’t still be in place, but like Germany and other countries tentatively opening up we will have most businesses open just limits on capacity/proximity used etc.
I wouldn’t imagine they will legislate for older people to stay in isolation, but there will be very strong guidance based on those countries slightly ahead of us.
The Government also have a habit of laying out the worst case to then look like ‘heroes’ when it isn’t as bad as initially predicted.
We still won’t see any pubs, football with fans in attendance etc until 2021 though.
And hopefully, the end of Ryanair who have said they’d not fly if they are told to space out people on planes

More importantly (tongue in cheek), when will hair salons open up again? Been 5 weeks for me and I need a trim ASAP. |  |

I don't even bother with them any more at all, unless there is no other option or am travelling with others who insist (i.e. a stag do)
With kids it means it's not worth it full stop, and any other weekenders I do without kids are based on spending a bit extra for decent flight times and airport experience! |  |

They are basic but serve a purpose. Operating from Stansted they are convenient for Ipswich as they fly to many places that would otherwise require travelling to either Gatwick or Heathrow. |  | | |

As you say they are more hassle than they are worth.
Cheap but service is awful and everything is an extra,
Whilst Easy Jet is far from perfect its about 3 levels above Ryanair in my experience. |  | | |

And KLM are three more levels above EasyJet but starting to move towards the RyanAir business model. |  |

I always have found EasyJet really good in fairness | |

Would genuinely enjoy a Ulrich Le Pen interview though! |
Adrian Paz also. |  | | |
