    Employers are asking employees to take holiday during furlough so that they are available for work after furlough - not so that employees can 'save' the holidays for later.
    Okay Sherlock ....well i am looking after my interest not the employers

    Regardless of whose interests you're looking after, what makes you think you'll still be furloughed until October?

    Think anybody that is still furloughed in October will be best looking for a new job.

    Someone hasn't been keeping up to date with the new lockdown rules. You can now go real fishing, although it will need to be trout fishing until the course fishing season starts in June.

    As for going on holiday during lockdown - stop being silly - you sound like one of those idiots that I DONT want applauding me every thu night 
    Apparently the woman who started the clapping thinks it should now finish and wants next Thursday's clap to be the last
    Good, the whole thing has just become an excuse for people to outdo their neighbours with noise and to post videos on social media. "Memememememe!"
    Some NHS staff apparently find it a bit embracing, especially when people say they are doing it for the 'NHS staff' not the 'frontline NHS staff.'  The reason being some NHS staff are doing less work due to the outbreak, with some regulated to just doing telephone/video appointments and others just being on standby for non-COVID-19 related emergencies.
