Many thanks Doofus. Wonderful to see you back. We have missed you. Your insight is in invaluable as always. Don’t leave it so long next time.

Seen as Saga has been dragged in with all other Travel Stock, next week seems a big one for indoor hospitality in general.

I expect Wednesday there will be the usual leaks/drip feeding to the press on the Traffic Light system and indoor hospitality in general, followed up by confirmation on Friday in the House of Commons. Could be Thursday but the Bank Holiday has thrown it.

Not sure how much this will jump? Every time it hits 386/387 there seems to be a Setanta dump. Anyway, everything looks rosey with patience. GLA

Last summer I was delivering supposedly frozen and chilled food in a transit van, with no fridge and freezer, to the old and vulnerable that had been out of the freezer over 2/3 hours. Now I’m suddenly recording every temperature and if I do t I’m in trouble!

I’m a share holder in Saga and Whitbread. I’ve been in the travel industry for 25 years. I still own a travel agency now. When Covid and lockdown kicked in I had to get a job, to pay bills, and found one in Home Delivery for Morrison’s.

Having held mid management positions at Thomas Cook and Hays, run my own businesses as well as others in the last 25 years.

I can honestly tell you, (as a business person) Morrison’s Home Delivery is an absolute disgrace. In fact the whole business seems rotten. Employees treated like dogs. Sometimes I look and think ‘how is this business surviving’. Shambolic from top to bottom. I’ve been offered cheap shares under the share scheme, and wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.

It’s lucky they have a good PR/social media team to make everything looks rosey! And they are some kind of heroes.

All UK cruises will be at 80% we know that. They will probably take bookings on all further forward Cruises to 80% capacity, until they get the ‘nod’, then fill the remaining 20%. Easy.

P.S. I have a contact on the Global Travel Taskforce. Cruising around the UK, ie, ‘Indoor Hospitality’ was giving the green ages ago behind the scenes to enable them to put them on sale, and now sold out.

Until it is announced next week publicly from BJ it seems most indoor hospitality shares are in a holding pattern.

Thanks Jonnie

UK staycations is massive this year, which is good for the hotels, as most people have opted to stay and holiday in the UK.

IMO international travel will be limited. It will be just the main holiday Mediterranean hotspots initially to keep the likes of Jet2, Easyjet, Ryanair and TUI going, because without this summer it would be goodnight Vienna for them.

All the best.

Hi guys. Just bought in here. I have a large holding in Saga mainly.

Saga has a 6 fully booked up UK cruises before international cruises in August, but I’m waiting for a bounce, when indoor hospitality is given the green light next week, as both shares fall into that category.

I’m hoping I’ve bought in at the lowest after the results! At just under £33???

The government is expected to announce the destinations in the green, amber and red categories of the traffic-light system towards the end of next week, with a partial resumption of international travel due from May 17.

Anyone’s thoughts on a bounce next week for indoor hospitality? Cheers

For the Green List/Traffic light system to be announced next week, allowing 2 weeks for preparation for Operators and Customers. I’ve got in a few today to get in early. Seems a lot in holding patterns waiting. DYOR.

Do we know when Setanta will be out Ice?

The 3 month chart is identical to IAG?

........

Was that Wednesday 21st at 14.30 when it happened? Through to Friday morning 23rd?

Saga might as well be an airline the way it’s being held back like it is, pretty ridiculous.

Joe - I’ll run this past the Ministerial Code of Conduct but can’t see this being a problem. :-)

Not forgetting FJ Gooner - Head of future Investment and Implementation. (At the right price)

Newly appointed Transport Minister Mr Beachbum also confirmed today in Parliament, that the following promotions happened within his Ministerial team -

Joe - Head of Public Relations and general banter.
Banbury - Head of Analytical Research
Millionaire - Head of Common Sense and overall cool as *f**k implementation
Roxbury - Head of future legends, and weeding out the weak.

The CEO’s of all the above operators have direct lines to the Spanish Tourism minister and work together. Joint pressure has obviously been put on.

Beachbum for Transport Minister?! Who’s in?!
