So how do you feel about that Soss, taking everything into account?
Personally, since I am retired, the effects of lockdown gave no adverse effect in that regard. How it affects me mainly, is that lockdown restricts travel, so I can no longer just up and off abroad as the mood takes me. Closer to home, its crazy how rapidly its implemented. Last week I was booked into a Caravan site for a week or so, in the next breath its cancelled.
I don't frequent any particular pub as a rule, just hop on a bus or Metro into toon early doors for a couple or three beers and mebees a bite to eat on a whim, but not since whenever, so that I can take or leave. Rather than nip to the shops most days, we now tend to do a big shop once every couple of weeks then the odd look out for incidentals. The upside is I'm saving a fortune with a downside I've fuck all to spend it on!
Christmas and New Year is cancelled, which I'm not inclined to care too much about, as I was working on those days more often than not. I dare say the biggest impact overall is not meeting up with friends and family.
My general view is, if its for the greater good, then fine, but I'll be livid if I find out the whole thing had been a con, or criminally mismanaged...
