Well, surely the user of the facilities was in contact with a 'member'.

However, if prices for hotels as an example start to go up because the staff need more pay to get them into the role then people simply will look elsewhere - because we live in a global economy and it would cost less to go to Greece as it would Bournemouth then guess where people will go, and then guess what will happen to that hotel.
People seem more than happy to pay small fortunes to buy coffee and sandwiches and McDonalds for breakfast now, I’d hardly class them as essential.
Anyway, we have been told we can’t go to Greece cuz were 'not in the union', unless we pay an exorbitant fee and spend an inordinate amount of time on paper work to get a visa.
and - I'm putting that down to covid. I'm off for a weekend in Malaga and you would think I was relocating to Australia with the amount of paperwork I've just had to complete.
