Nottingham having a tier 3 winter wonderland

30% more patients in Nottingham Hospitals than April. 56 died of Covid between 27th and 4th December in Nottinghamshire and this is okay

 

Why is this outdoor retail not ok but tk maxx with it's 60cm aisles is?

 

I’m only gonna say this one more time and then give up.
I HAVE NOT MADE A COMMENT ABOUT RETAIL.
Despite me saying this every time you don’t seem to grasp that. YOU keep talking about retail, ALL I have said is the Council we’re begging to be put into Tier 3.
Again just in case it hasn’t sank in I am not commenting either way about if retail should be open.

 

So, I talked about the Lincoln Xmas market, you replied saying those traders have lost their businesses as a result. I asked which ones and you are now saying they aren’t just Xmas market traders.
So there was no businesses that had to close just because Lincoln chose to close its market this year then.

 

After being forced to miss out on all of their summer and autumn trade they were pinning their hopes on being allowed to trade for the Christmas market. Due to not being allowed to trade they have had to close their business permanently as they cannot afford to stay closed any longer.

What is so hard to understand about that?

 

Nottingham Christmas market is retail. This thread is about the retail Christmas market. You are bizarrely trying to slag the council off for allowing this retail by saying a few weeks ago they didn't want pubs to open. What is the relevance of them accepting pub closures in exchange for financial support within the context of this thread discussing the opening of the retail sector which was not part of the tier 3 decision?

 

You initially claimed because Lincoln Council chose not to run the Xmas market it forced businesses to close, you are now saying it was a combination of reasons.
So which was it?

 

Lincoln's decision not to allow the market was the final nail in the coffin and was the key reason that caused my friends to lose their business yes. Just as I've said previously it was the final nail in the coffin of my friends business. And that's friends plural not singular

 

Not what you said though

And yes I know Lincoln closed early. It caused traders to lose their business. That's not speculation, it's fact. Traders who pinned their hopes on being able to trade in the run up to Christmas closed for good due to being informed early by Lincoln that it wouldn't happen.

 

Correct. Lincoln's decision to close their market caused traders to lose their business. Traders who pinned their hopes on being able to trade in the market closed for good due to being told that wouldn't happen.

Which part of that is inaccurate? What is causing your confusion?

 

No confusion here, I’ve kept to the same narrative you are the one who changes, you’re original post said it was Lincoln’s decision when clearly by your own admission it was partly down to that decision.

Your words “After being forced to miss out on all of their summer and autumn trade”.

 

its been closed down, Robin Wood attracted too many merry men and women ,closed due lack of social distancing,may have been better doing tickets ,everyone fed up and desperate to do something rocked up at once

 

At no point have I ever said that these were businesses which were doing a roaring trade all year. I clearly said they were pinning their hopes on the Christmas market. Did that make you think they'd just banked millions in April or something? **** me

I'll make this really simple. The restrictions had businesses on a knife edge. Lincoln's decision to ban their Christmas market forced businesses to go under as it was the final straw.

Is that clear enough? Are you going to start arguing about the semantics of that?

 

And yet the supermarkets can do what they want. Tk maxx and Primark can allow people into aisles just 2 foot wide etc

 

I know, been today to Tesco was rammed

 

Record profits for Tesco this year. Got to be. If it isn't they're fiddling their accounts

 

Nobody said you’d said they were doing a roaring trade have they?
Why do you always try to change the course of a conversation, why can’t you keep on track?
Some might say it’s perhaps to muddy the waters, some might say perhaps you do t take the time to read the response properly, who knows perhaps you can enlighten us?

I didn’t argue semantics though did I?
You blamed the Lincoln council decision solely in your first response, only later when questioned did you add about a final coffin/living on a knife edge.
**** me if you had said that originally then it would have been clear but **** me you kept changing your story until **** me we finally got here.
**** me if you’d replied saying it was both......
**** me if you’d replied saying you hadn’t made your first point clear....
**** me if you’d actually put there were pinning their hopes......

 

Ermm....
**** me if you’d actually put there were pinning their hopes......


From my first post after you mentioned Lincoln
Traders who pinned their hopes on being able to trade in the run up to Christmas closed for good

 

Ok, I’ll give you that you put the word pinning in there but **** me you still didn’t say about the rest of the year you still only mentioned the run up to Xmas, you still at no time acknowledged your original post was either in accurate or not clear.

 

What the fcu.k did you think I meant? Did you think I meant that they had been reading freely all year despite the fact that you know they haven't? What did you think I meant? There have been closures all year they were pinning their hopes on finally making some money. That was taken away. What else did you think I mean?

Come on you keep telling me what I didn't mean so what DID I mean? What did you think I meant?
