Obviously Tim Martin is a piece of work. His actual comments aren't as abhorrent as the "go away and get a job at tesco" headlines people are giving them:
"We have had lots of calls from supermarkets, Tesco alone want 20,000 people to join them. That's half the amount of people who work in our pubs.
If I'm honest, I could say you can get the furlough payments and stay at home.
If you're offered a job at a supermarket, many of you will want to do that. If you think it's a good idea, do it.
I can completely understand it. If you've worked for us before I promise we will give you first preference if you want to come back.
I completely understand if you don't want to wait around for us to reopen but deeply appreciate your work."
Yes, they appear, unlike say Costa, to have not chosen to front payments and be reimbursed by the government allowance at the end of April.
