CL advice in current situation

I can see your point, but just consider that,  with all those other concerns, they might decide the CL is the least of their priorities, might just decide to combine it with the touring site. So one less CL. I'm not unsympathetic, but as a long term CL user I think they need some consideration too.

Can't comment on the tone of their reply.

I assume the cycling holiday is arranged through a company rather than an individual?

If it feels fair to the individual, then it's acceptable, albeit slightly unorthodox. The current situation is also unorthodox ...

Innumerable businesses will go bust or will close down before it becomes too late. Just about every major UK economist is agreed that the now unavoidable recession will be the largest in recorded financial history, the only debatable points being the size and duration of the recession.

When the Coronavirus passes, everyone will be ready for a wee treat, and we may need to forego deposit refunds to keep theatres, campsites, CLs et al in business until that time comes.

indeed, perhaps the cure is going to be worse than the illness...

only time will tell.

 BB,

I just posted a response on another thread to your post re falling death rates in Italy. I think there's been some updates or changes in reporting cut off periods because both Italy and Spain are reporting record highs for the daily death figures.

I'm certainly not looking for a debate/argument. Just providing what I hope is an update.

We are still waiting for a refund from the other Club, hopefully coming soon.

Not only are we (all) suffering from rubbish interest rates, share prices have plummeted affecting our children's pensions (no final salary pensions for them) , and our investments for our grandchildren.  Hopefully these will recover, and are long term investments.

Unfortunately, (at the moment) I have a pension from Norway, and their currency has plummeted due to plummeting oil prices, so we have lost at least 25% of that money, something we will never recover.

Hard times all round.

Kjell,

Analysts are forecasting a sub $10 per barrel oil price as demand disappears because of the stalling of the global economy.

Strange to think that we may look back in 3 months time and reflect that the March 2020 Exchange Rate wasn't so bad after all ...

I could have done without that news!

Advance purchasing some Euros about six weeks ago seemed to have been prudent in the light of current exchange rates although, of course, I now can't spend the stuff for the foreseeable future. Mind you given the reported presence of the Russian navy off our shores perhaps I should have bought roubles.
