80% furlough is manageable for most, but many will struggle on just 60% - I know we would as I reckon our bills take up around 60% of total wages, probably more if I sat and worked out the numbers. I know it’s costing the government a lot of money, but people can’t pay their bills on fresh air either.
My kids will not take kindly to one of them having to go to school and the other ‘getting’ to stay home. Many kids all over the world don’t start formal education until 7 I don’t see why reception and year 1 are being called in to be honest. What a nightmare if you work and have some kids who are meant to be in school and others who still aren’t allowed. Nightmare for everyone involved.
