Wriggling Snake Aug 2020 12:35pm, 8 Aug 2020 28,010 posts	0 Wriggling Snake very anecdotally, from my local offie, their sales have gabsolutely gone through the roof...that and my local sainsbury. I am old. I talk to them.... vaccination of certain sections of the community, I.e old. Having been down to Manchester today...city centre shopping and food is dead...ot is not viable currently...I had to serve myself in the shops...no need for anybody except security. also masses of 'office' space...not needed. if I were government, with people working at home..massive reduction in rates for shops but especially local shops...public transport needs to be free...I also think dedicated bus lanes and mass pedestrian areas.

My recent plogging sessions indicate crisp packets, beer cans, red bull and cigarette butts are still far more popular to toss on the ground
Non-runner Aug 2020 7:19am, 9 Aug 2020 635 posts	0 Non-runner Plenty of nitrous oxide canister litter dropped around here where young people gather, suggesting no masks being worn at the time😉! I don’t think civilians should wear disposable masks, they should be limited for medical/care users who would dispose of them properly as clinical waste. Lots of funky and political mask designs available now.
