Positive Things About Lockdown.

[MynameisLuca]

For me, it's less traffic on the road, cleaner shops/supermarkets, social distance and lots of other things.
I'm not looking forward to going back to normal, is it just me or is anyone else dreading getting back to normal?

[shoota]

The traffic round here is almost back to pre lockdown levels already, it was lovely when everyone was indoors.

[brainiac]

Traffic here already back to pre-lockdown levels, and I dread to think what will happen next week, especially when the weather warms up....

For the wage earners, back to normal the sooner the better.
For retirees like myself, no difference.

[campbellking]

Have worked throughout at the hospital, looking forward to getting abroad again some time.....

[MynameisLuca]

I think the Wage earners will still be paid, can't see them wanting to travel on crowded transport if they can work from home.

"can't see them wanting to travel on crowded transport if they can work from home."

Absolutely! And companies who have found to their astonishment that they have survived it will doubtless wonder why they're paying all that money out in business rent every month. It will never return to the way it way. And a good thing too!

[brainiac]

Some people have been on furlough for a year - up to £2,500 a month. Pretty positive for them

[Theland]

Not everybody worked from home, furloughed, less money.

Interesting one, Luca and I guess it depends upon where you live.

Our country and village is clean (bar the few cities) so of course our shops and supermarkets are too. We love to mix. Social distancing is just not us. I don't know what your other things are.

I am so looking forward to normal. The summer months when our touristy village is so full we have nowhere to park. I love the hundreds of coaches arriving every day full of overseas visitors with their cameras (and money to spend....;-)....and the Americans telling us their mountains and lakes are bigger than ours.
The family members coming back for our Family Summer Festival and hoping to return for good one day.

Then through the quiet winter it's just us. Getting together in the pubs...chatting about the summer and drinking Guinness... :-)

Six months ago I would have answered you with how much charity knitting I'm getting done as a positive...bloody fed up with knitting now....x

Son in law 20% down on furlough wages had to take two mortgage holidays to survive. Council Tax increased, fuel increased, not in a happy place.

I can cut my own hair without being called a cheapskate.

[MynameisLuca]

Being an introvert I suppose it's no hardship for me. Genss, a coach load of tourist would keep me indoors until they leave. And I hate crowded pub.

[anneasquith]

Fingers crossed, no one in my immediate family got covid, we kept to the rules . Difficult as they were at times .

[gness]

You could do with putting the pudding bowl on straight though, Canary...... ;-)

[gness]

Well there’s the difference, Luca. I love meeting the tourists. As for the crowded pub. As long as it’s crowded with family and friends I’m happy.

Neds, jakeys, glue sniffers and junkies have all been in hiding.

It's been a time of relative peace, soon to be gone forever.

[MynameisLuca]

"Neds, jakeys, glue sniffers and junkies have all been in hiding."
Not so, Douglas, we've been in isolation, they've carried on as normal.

[sanmac]

This 'ere lack of persons about aint 'alf 'urtin us finger-smiths, I tells ya.

[douglas9401]

Not around these parts.

[Jackdaw33]
