We have three grown up males in the house. We are trying to support the local pubs/breweries without affecting our livers. So we have banned beers from anywhere else and ordering deliveries from these guys. More pubs/micro breweries will retain this temporary delivery service and make it permanent I suspect. My niece's boyfriend works in a craft brewery and they are managing to keep 50% of staff going by switching to online deliveries which they haven't done before and it's going well .

I’m also supporting my local brewery, they have a drive through which seems to be doing ok. I have a feeling that the fallout from the virus is going to be similar to that from 911. Our lives will change in all sorts of tiny and inconvenient ways, resulting in annoying rules which seem to have no sense behind them once the virus is no longer a threat other than to perform a reassurance of minimising threat. |

Opening clothes shops and shutting changing rooms: if you can’t try stuff on you'd buy it online!

But you can touch the fabric and see if it will need ironing, fleecy. If it needs ironing, it goes back on the rack

Fleecy’s, I said the same to my children. They can’t see how we’ll ever be back to normal. I remember we all thought the same after 9/11, it really was an event that shook the world, but now it’s just a part of history. (We visited Ground Zero last year and I think they understood the impact it had)

Yes but we still feel the inconvenience of 911 every time we travel 18 years later. When the real threat to human life was being under-researched, unplanned for and underfunded. Who knew? It’s almost like climate change will be similar but a million times worse and not reversible... |
