I think analysts fell into the classic trap of Rob Campbell has so much credibility his plan must be a really good one, even if they didn't understand it themselves !
    You don’t get it beagle ...remember Robs sermon from 18 months ago about vitality being necessary to thrive in a changing market.p and quoting the novelist F Scott Fitzgerald as saying “vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over”. That captures what we are trying he said.

    So it’s all OK at the moment.

    No, I don't "get it" so I must be a dumb dog. All I want is a modern, spacious, well equipped, reliable and clean campervan in the summer season at a reasonable price.

    Yes lets do that. For my money $1.77 a year hence if the virus becomes a worldwide pandemic and $3.00 if it doesn't, mid point if this is a 50/50 binary outcome, call it $2.39 but I wouldn't pay a cent over $2 at present.

    This is where economies of scale really help and I thought THL was getting that with its US arm.
    It shouldn't be that expensive to develop something useable and then slowly improve it.
    Geez, everyones got an app these days.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    Exactly. For my liking, I'd just prefer a decent memory foam topper pad on the beds and they can keep their silly app. Difficult to get a decent sleep on hard, thinly padded beds.

    Plenty of THL campers at the Coast to Coast at the weekend.

    Friend from Auckland rented one - pile of poo to drive, gearbox rubbish, one headlight out, battery went flat, and the last people to rent it had given it a decent scrape.

    Good the government ‘investing’ $11m in tourism to help it out

    ‘Invest’ a good term in this context eh

    True - but then I just heard that people required to self quarantine in New Zealand need to live in the streets, given that they can't find suitable accommodation.

    THL could rent out their camper vans for this purpose, couldn't they?

    The opportunities are endless ...
