The pictures of Sir Tom being knighted by the Queen.
What a remarkable story, culminating in the wonderful pictures today of HM knighting Sir Tom. Also his interviews afterwards. I liked it when the clever journalists asked what had been said between him and the Queen, expecting a big scoop, but Sir Tom said "that is private"------no flies on Tom ! Another of those stories…

Refund when outbound flight cancelled but not inbound flight

Furloughed staff holidays. Mandatory carry over to next year?
I own a business and have furloughed staff since March. Most are back at work on a part time basis and some are back full time. I've paid staff at full salary rate rather than 80% whilst furloughed and absorbed the additional cost myself. I appreciate that staff are still entitled to their full holiday while furloughed so…
