Don't know about the US, but here, you can get dealer/manufacturer contributions to finance deals, and then immediately pay off the finance. In fact, it's legally mandated that any consumer credit agreement can be exited without penalty in the first couple of weeks.

He chose to leave after a couple of days of being sent home.

The Brits like to think they aren't, but Brexit doesn't stop COVID-19. You should probably check what your situation is regarding travel insurance and cancellation etc before making a decision.

sharkytm posted:Right, because the 2 Grand is worth potentially infecting my immune-compromised mother and being a vector for my community. It's all cancelled, insurance/refund be damned. I'm fortunate that I can take the financial hit (I already paid for it). I'm more concerned about my elderly friends, customers, and the general health of the nation. Also you mentioned Virgin Atlantic, and they have sent out an email saying they'll allow rescheduling of flights to other dates without charge, so it's worth checking if that applies to US-originating bookings as well.

Ahahaha. So the UK government has advised people to avoid going into work, and work from home instead, and yeah, that's not going to be something that's workable for me, though at least many of my friends are able to do so. I feel sorry for the one who works in a customer-facing council position though. Now she gets to be exposed to possibly infectious poo poo human beings instead of just the usual kind.

I'm going to have to still be in work, basically until I'm told not to be, I can't really work from home, but we've been doing what we can to separate everyone out physically, we're splitting ourselves across a new shift pattern with gaps between then so different groups never cross over (I'll now be on an evening shift, but it shouldn't be too bad a change). The older guys who moaned about me being "ageist" last week for suggesting we see what we can do to keep them away from everyone else appear to have rapidly shut up. Parents are behaving themselves, parked at home and switching to delivery for groceries etc. Government have said they will fund up to £2.5k per month for the wages of any person a company needs to furlough in order to bunker down and get through the next few months.

If you put people from AI on a deserted island with a cross-section of their general local society, I'd give it a week before we start disappearing some of them in the night and blaming it on the smoke monster. The UK government yesterday said all pubs etc had to close, and asked people to just stay home instead of going out. So of course plenty of people decided this meant they had one last night to go down the pub and have a laast few pints .  Liquid Communism posted:It gets faster.

The government just announced a 6 month extension on MOTs that expire after the 30th of March. Unfortunately they announced it while I was at the garage having my MOT done... https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-mots-for-cars-vans-and-motorcycles-due-from-30-march-2020#keep-your-vehicle-safe-to-drive
