    I want a new sofa can't buy online as need to try it to make sure I can transfer on and off into my wheelchair 
    I bought an armchair online once, but too low back as no measurements online, so would be like you to try for size. (Was kerfuffle to return, and worry if cat used as scratching post ?)

    To be fair I was ashamed of wales  large gatherings in Cardiff Bay been on the news no social distancing no masks  in mumbles large gatherings no social distancing no masks the list is long 

    The vacunation doesn't stop corona virus you just don't have such bad symptoms it can still be passed around other countries are in their third wave of the corona virus if we aren't careful we will be back there and on lockdown before summer

    @fluffycat it's personal taste I think some of my friends have set up business online so I try and support them I get everything I need realy and I do online food shopping  I will be honest though before all this I was a shopper but now I actually find it easier to shop online and I get things cheaper which is a good help I appreciate it isn't for everyone

    Having had my car fixed We managed to go food shopping today and though I sat in the car reading a book I thoroughly enjoyed my little outing. ?

    Whilst there are clearly going to be a small number of people with money to burn it’s unlikely to help the economy much. More likely it’ll be burnt through quickly on some big ticket items for a small number but most savers tend to carry on saving and not spend. The rich contribute the least to the economy preclude it because spending is the one thing they do the least of. 

    Then the reality of the experience of the rest of the population will kick in. Record numbers on Universal Credit with a £20 drop to come. Eviction and possession moratorium to end. 80% of people showing symptoms either declining to take a test because they can’t afford to self-isolate or simply testing positive then declining to self-isolate. Not even factoring the full impacts of Brexit in as they’ve not kicked in yet and nor has the inevitable inflation kick which is coming. 

    Does anyone really think we’re talking major resurgence here?!
    The lunchtime economy (people lunching out / sandwiches to go etc. and retail therapy around workplace will be hit as an economy was built on it, esp. in city areas. (now more working from home is adopted and may not return in huge numbers or regular)

    I think the good news is that unemployment was going to reach 11.1% this summer it's now expected to be no higher than 6,1% which is probably around a million + fewer out of work, the economy is expected to bounce back by 7% this year and almost the same next year before settling back to the 2% we are used to.
    In other good news it's possible we will see for the first time negative interest rates which should be interesting, I wonder how some of the big high st names will justify having APR's of 35% + ?

    It also seems that as a population we are liking what the government has been doing the polls show them having a 16% lead.
    We live in interesting times, and the ride is about to become a little more interesting or bumpy depending on how you view things.
    Hopefully a continual bounce to keep people working. 

    Think my savings account is going from 0.1% to 0.01% LOL (they lend it out at fair few more %)
