Off subject but nearly every word ending in - ion is French.... Thousands of them. All French. A vast amount of general words like beef, pork, mutton, sauce, pan, aubergine, mange-tout, haricot, courgette (from boeuf, porc, mouton, sauce, pain, etc) are French words. The verbal structure is more germanic but the vocabulary is of French/Latin origin.
Problem with Spanish is the disgusting way they treat investors in property. What with spiv estate agents and crippling inheritance taxes and now maybe Shengen limiting to 90 days next year so elderly overwintering have to come back and freeze to death in mid winter! Yes is Spain wants more investment them have to be less Greedy!
Not true our language came from Old Saxon and much exists but of course the French added to the Latin base!
America did not last long in your Empire!
There was a major cultural aspect to the Greek and Roman empire (by default) but a major one all the same. The British one was a blood and slaughter one.. They left their language but of course it was the French who gave Britain its language in the first place when dominating the country for over 250 years following the 1066 French invasion.
One more developed country invading poor or defenseless countries basically and exploiting them and carrying out extremely brutal acts of Barbary.
Now little Britain is isolated and and no longer a player...
Funny how quickly we forget that the British Empire from America to Canada to Australia to India to Singapore and Zimbabwe started all this globalisation many years ago. We got rich on the back of it and now some don't want it.

i definately think you'll be facetiming the daughter rather than seeing her in April im afraid. The trouble is nowadays the whole world depends on each other. Spain is already a basketcase economy wise, its tourism is all that keeps it going. This is going to set them back years and years economically, so ultimately i dont think they will have much choice in letting people visit. Not right now of course but quite quickly afterwards. Its people need to eat etc. The same can be said of italy france, and the way we are going the UK too. Globilisation has created a web of interdependancy right under all our noses and no nation can really exist in its own right independantly anymore. Oddly enough except the Chinese who started this.
What worries me most is the repeated nature of these types of bugs coming out of asia. Sars, h1n, covid19. Getting far to regular of an occurance for my liking, if this one dont get you maybe the next one will kind if thing.
Good to chat, stay well
YEah I'd agree with most of that.
It's the last man standing that takes the prize, assuming there is a last man....
And people may well want to fly, but will countries let them? Places like Spain have taken a huge hit to the stomach here and will be ultra nervous about a fresh outbreak of COVID. Given that they CANNOT control the people flying in from outside of Spain, why on earth would they let anyone in? Until this is really put to bed once and for all.
I don't wish for that because my daughter has a flight to see me from France on 22 April, and that sure as sh*t ain't gonna happen. I just hope I get to see her in May, June or will it be later?
you are quite correct in that assessment Berni. Nobody is saying airline prices will shoot up in the short term, but the last one standing will suck up the failures dregs and scale up hugely. The markets clearly recognise rya as more likely to be that business hence its sp being more stable than the others of late, although down. Its known for being ruthless with costs. It also owns the bulk of its planes, already has market dominance (under normal circumstances) in its market, and that very useful thing at the moment, cash in the bank. People will not stop flying when this virus is sorted, its become too 'normal' a part of life.
It is quite possible that they are seen as the 'strongest' airline in Europe, the best placed to ride out the storm.
But if you're the 'best' turkey at Xmas, you're still gonna end up on the dinner table.....
Meaning that ALL airlines will be hit very hard, irrespective of their dominance, reputation or position. To my mind, it's quite simple. The one with the most cash reserves or the friendliest bank manager survives....
Last August they were around the 8.50 mark... due to strikes and concerns over staff requesting better pay and conditions.
Now they have a fully grounded fleet. with no real certain end in sight along with the possibility of international travel being on hold for quite a bit of time after this settles. Yet are still above the 9 euro mark.
This has more to fall in my opinion and I would agree with the people that they wouldn't be surprised to see it at the 6-7 euro mark in the next couple of weeks...
