    Here is an opportunity!!

    That is with not even any campervans in the photo. Have seen it bigger, after the ski season in about October.

    When the restrictions are lifted, would say plenty of no-cost one-way hires will be available......

    And here is another opportunity. With their expertise in 'container buildings' I would like to see Todd and team build up some 'hospital bed containers'. Then if there was a COVID-19 outbreak in some region, they could truck the container beds in so that the COVID patients could be isolated. Possibly the COVID-19 victims could be retained in the existing Hospital Building to easily access the 'built in equipment' while the 'other' patients could go outside into the containers. It might be a way to get some on-sellable work out of those clever container transformers who are at home on gardening leave? Plus Turners could probably use some 'in stock trucks' to haul the containers around. What about it Todd, if you are at home reading this, in amongst what must be now a quite magnificent garden at your place?

    Hi Austen...We are pretty focused on "contactless" selling of cars at the moment...but like your creative thinking! Yes the lawns and hedges are well trimmed at the moment...I have 3 teenage daughters/workers who need to earn their keep!

    No problem Todd. We did get into a little shareholder huddle for a while Percy and I. He bought into 'my' Turners Automotive Group. I bought into his 'Heartland'. Then he bought into my 'PGG Wrightson' and 'Skellerup' as well (although I think he has since sold the latter). I was going to propose a full merger. We could have called ourselves 'Persnoop' (even if that does sound a bit like Parsnip). So not surprising you got us confused! Glad to hear the garden is going well. All the best to you are your family.

    For those that are interested, I would be happy to run a Zoom call giving an update on life in lockdown at Turners Auto Group and how we see the business emerging. Aaron Saunders and I have been running a series of these with the major wealth advisor firms and institutional investors over the last two weeks. Perhaps if you could give me some sense via feedback to the post whether this would be of interest and if there is I will set it up. Thanks Todd
