The new normal........
Some good things seem to be coming out of this, I've noticed over the weeks shopping has become {and made people become} more organised in their shopping habits. Many now just shop once a week, no more pushing and jostling for position in the supermarkets, browsing has almost ceased to exist, you are "herded" in an orderly fashion in and out of the store, everybody made to wait their turn, and most people have stopped griping about it.
As for holidays I believe holidays {if any at all}in this country will be the norm for a few years to come, mainly because we will probably end up with fewer flights and cruises, besides every country will be wanting it's population to spend and get the "mother" country back up and running first before spending your cash abroad, just imagine what places like Benidorm are like at this moment.
It looks like the new norm will be a condensed version of what we have been used to, and I can't see it becoming a bad thing in some respects.
Some not so good things. We have all been made aware, over the weeks, just how ineffective our government has been in tackling this outbreak, not least because in 2016 the powers that be did a "dummy run" on what to do and what was needed in case of a sudden pandemic and they all decided, on paper at least, they were more than ready.
One thing the government {and future governments} MUST do is never ever take the N.H.S. and the caring profession for granted again, give them the staff they need, the P.P.E. they need and moreover give them ALL a pay rise.
According to the paper today a young girl of 10 is planning to do keepy-uppies presumably for charity, she's doing one for every U.K. key worker in the country. I won't tell you how many key workers there are but she has set herself 2,500 keepy-uppies per day and by the time she's finished she will be old enough to vote..... I blame the parents myself.
