Even the remote Shetlands already have about 15 odd cases Cases reported in Hebrides and Tiree now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 21 on the flight including three or four which I guessed from the wheelchairs were on patient transfer. Only a handful arrived as well. Welcome to getting on each others nerves for two weeks. Sleazy won't keep this up for long I'm sure. Didn't like wearing the protective gear. Even though you know you should. Rather spoiled the gravity of the moment by telling the trolley-dollies that we were "only playing doctors and nurses" hence the kit. It got a very good laugh which is probably an indication of how much apprehension is around. The person sitting next to me was less than amused though. Over half the trains cancelled out of Liverpool. M-Town should be renamed Ghost-Town. Very few folks about but lots of derroes because a charity was giving out aid in Piccadilly Gardens. I felt like telling them that North Norfolk was derro heaven but only if you're a foreigner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Between 30 March and 27 April I’ve 9 sectors booked IoM LPL BCN LGW BCN LPL IoM plus an IoM LGW IoM at present. Only one cancelled so far, but as Spain wont admit me I’m not going. I’m hoping for more cancellations for refunds in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligaf Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 We had 4 trips planned and a hop over to Ireland twice. None will happen now and we are trying to recoup the money paid out up front. We are pleased that having been neglected by our insurance providers, our bank Barclays have refunded the amount we paid to Flybe. Did not think we would have got that back, but like EllanVannin 2010 and wrighty said, banks do often pay back what has been spent on a DEBIT card. We were lucky this time. Now to chase Virgin for 4 Atlantic returns. edit to add, that having been told by the bank that it may take weeks, we got the refund in less the 36 hours. Thank you Barclays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
