didn't Tui and others say booking were up something like 65%+ and that was a couple of months ago, even though peeps knew of the travel ban? Yes, for me it will be bedlam with flights if/when the borders open up. I do know that one of our service providers (Cignpost) have test facilities at Birmingham int airport . Probably have others too, who knows?

Twix, so how many is a 'fraction' do you reckon? All the airport and local area? I still see plenty in this to come when markets/airports open up.

£25 looks a bit light too for the test and testing! I think numbers will be more than just a 'fraction' too. Don't forget they have other 'travel' outlets as well !

lol! it was amusing to start with, got a bit out of control though. Best keep away for a bit longer methinks.

Jadam, you still as popular as a fart in a spacesuit over the road at ODX ?? Got some stick there chap! pmsl!

Jadam, still doesn't alter the fact that you can still pass on the virus having had the vaccine is what I am concerned about. What good is a passport then? Anyway it was a little while ago that Bojo mentioned about vaccine passports not on the agenda, and I did say he changes direction fairly rapid! lol

even with a vaccine they say you can still catch and pass on the virus, so not sure how that will work? Not including any variants of course.

I don't believe Bojo is keen on the vax passport idea atm. Though he is prone to change at a minutes notice!

is it still the case that incoming travellers need 2 Pcr tests @ 3/8 days interval, except those who come from a red zoned region who need to go to a hotel?

I think there is a good chance that they can shift 1m+ tests in the next year or so with this partnership. All subject to travel restrictions being lifted but it will come sooner or later. We have already seen that holiday/flights are well up even with restrictions in place.It will explode when it's all lifted.Yes I can easily see 1m+ tests going through. At £40/£50 a pop, then that soon adds up big time chaps! Don't forget there will be more to come too !

the notion that because the have been loaned equipment the govt will ''screw them down'' is absolute tripe! In fact the govt will go out it's way to help. They certainly won't do anything to hinder one of their key manufacturers.
What would be the point of making life too difficult and not letting them make a proper and fit profit. The govt have no wish to bankrupt or make it too onerous for ODX , they will want a happy ship and to keep them 'sweet'.
I have experience of this kind of set up with loaned equipment etc, though in another industry.

yes pacman, I know there are people lobbying the FDA/others really hard, so hopefully they will take it onboard like the UK and others seem to be doing.

pacman, no probs, just that I have asked a couple of times since ( 10 days ago) he said it and the reply was private only! Looking forward to one or two of these contracts landing asap!

pacman, Ygen won't be involved with 'moonshot' or any govt work I am told. They will concentrate on the private sector. The govt keep changing the goalposts with testing and it's 'onerous' to deal with apparently. Better off out of it methinks! LR said Ygen would have to close for six months to accommodate the govt and he won't do it, and I agree with him!

yes, just the lab expertise, nothing to do with the supply of tests!

don't think there will be one 'exclusive' test. Also there won't be one exclusive manufacturer. All tests will be licensed to the govt who will want to control it all.

we've contracts worth tens of millions of ££££ coming in soon, no worries! lol

we might get a few more early next week when his followers have had the weekend to look at it. Unless TW puts his two Penarth in of course!

they don't need prompting to look back. Anyone would have done it no doubt, blimey that's all it was for months on end! Anyway, let's look forward now!

must say whilst the 8% is very welcome today, I am a little disappointed it didn't go a little higher. I wonder how many potential new investors took a look into this BB and looked over the recent past posting and ran a mile after reading all the negativity and bickering on here. I mean, just reading what people thought of the CEO would have been enough for me not to bother. Then of course the so called ' poor' pr of the company, then lack of any details, with numbers etc. It must have put a few off, I know I would have thought twice. Just saying!
