No offence but you must be joking. There’s this thing called furlough, I presume you’ve heard of it? Use it!

The vast majority of lads I know that work the tools are in the same boat. Get real.

Admirable thought but no chance.

From this table the number of people aged 18 and over in the UK in 2018 is projected to be 52,403,344

 

imagine 52 million times one pence, half a million quid out there somewhere

Ah well we're getting into subjective judgements now. Each person can only give a penny to so many crowdfunders before they are queing at the food bank themselves.

Furlough the full time staff if employed or if there self employed they will get 80% . Apply for grants if your eligible. Liquidate some assets and if all fails sign on the rock n roll.

I've got a better idea. Why don't we appoint an umbrella organization (we could call it 'Government') to collect a bit of money from everyone in the country in the good times so that when stuff like this happens they can pay a percentage (maybe 80%) of the wages to see people through? I know, we cou;d call it 'furlough'!
