    The Vaccine Thread

    I suspect you'll know this. Given the really small numbers of infections in both groups not only do I wonder about the statistical reliability (but that can swing either way) but also the different behaviours of those in the tests. Not much point giving a vaccine to someone who is going to...

    The freedoms are good, it's just a pity that they then have to penalise those that know how to act responsibly I agree totally, there's nobody with the inclination to introduce a more flexible approach, (it will remain in the 'too difficult' / 'can't be bothered' pile for evermore) and we're...

    It is a no brainer. She has no desire whatsoever to buy an annuity, indeed what fool does? For the past 10 years the investments she has been in have never returned less than 3.5% and generally much higher. So she can maintain her capital and generate a larger income than is being offerred ...

    Aviation industry and Covid-19

    Their long haul product was outstanding imo and it's a real pity that it looks as if Covid is going to wipe them out. In a 'normal' world I think they may well have pulled through, they seemed to be adjusting their pricing and schedules pre Covid to what might be considered more sensible (at...

    It's an 'old chestnut' but grateful for help. My S-i-L has very small final salary pension upcoming and she really wants to take the transfer value and put in her personal pension. I'm totally familiar with all the rights and wrongs, financial services all my life but not CF30 so can't do it...

    Is there any calculation behind these R numbers or just someone saying that it appears cases are going up/down quicker/slower so we'll add/subtract a point or two?

    [Travel] Holiday plans this summer?

    I am in Tenerife and this is the fear. Already reports of full planes arriving with no testing whatsoever. They are trying to get it passed in law this week but appears there might be some resistance. Not sure why, because as you rightly point out if they don't they will be back in full lockdown...

    I know a few too and they get right up my nose. If they were 5G or any other loony tune types I could almost excuse it but they aren't, just selfish inconsiderates that think they are impregnable. They shrug off the suggestion that they might give it to others because they "obviously" aren't...
