P&O cancels services and tells ships to stay in port

[Mottie]

but hey, you voted Brexit,

So I did. What did you vote?

Painting. My dad used to be a tosher. Have you never heard of it? None of your careful cutting in, just slap it on the walls as quick as you can.

No, never, and I've worked on many a site!
But those other definitions are the ones I am familiar with.

Maybe it's just a London thing then? I see where you googled it but try again and add the word 'painting'. Plenty of references to toshing on this painting forum. http://www.painterspitstop.com/threads/painters-slang-words-within-the-trade.5733/

Ive learnt from my mistake -which is why I didnt vote for Johnson and his damaging brexit

Seems like you could be right.

Too late, your vote was counted. Thanks.

see -even now, in the face of lots of evidence, you still think brexit was a good thing

but then Essex is a brexit area -ironically a region that is suffering more due to brexit due to it being a major warehousing and manufacturing centre, which relies on supply chains across Europe

 

[JohnD]

Mottie doesn't care.

Brexit didn't start and end in day one. It's going to take time as I've always said. Perhaps if we had left the EU the day after the vote, things may be on the way up now. Come back to me in 5 years time and tell me what the negatives are.

Yep. Don't care what you repeatedly post.

Very sad news, demise of a great company (cruised on SS Canberra a few times). But this made me laugh (at farage, not the staff).

Not really sure what leaving the eu is to do with it, but pretty sure nobody considered the actions of a Dubai business owner when voting.

I thought P&O cruise were a separate company owned by Carnival

 

[Tigercubrider]

They are separate.

The current owns of the ferry business paid out £270 million in dividends and took £15 million of Covid money.

It is. But was once the same company. Same old British brand.

and took £15 million of Covid money.

I've seen a lot of people criticise them for the covid money - but surely this was furlough payments, which at least meant British workers were still being paid?

They had it offered to them and they were entitled to it. Why do some people on this forum think that the company or employee has to be practically destitute to be eligible for furlough payments?
