I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

I would have said a widespread appreciation that large scale government intervention in the economy and in terms of regulating society is necessary, but the nutcases seem to be increasingly weaponising this pandemic to benefit their insane and evil culture war, like they weaponise everything else.

Referees. I see them as mediators now in a field of anarchy. Will never curse one again.

That a lot of people spend too much time working, in order to buy a lot of things that they don't really need.

Appreciation for the NHS?

Anything else?
I think that has passed to be honest.

For me it is the increase in working from home. It should be here to stay for me and it has made a huge difference st home. And the garden has never looked better!

Definitely my OH having to work out how to do The Big Shop.
I was believed to be in at-risk group at the start of the pandemic so he wouldn't let me go to Asda.

We've always used the local butcher for certain things over the years but since lockdown we've never bought our meat from the big shops.

The butchers wife is a sliming world rep, a lot of stuff he prepares is based on her ideas, he also delivers, which is great, his BBQ selection is hard to beat (value wise) and he prepares various fish fillets, marinated in various flavours.

You pay a little extra but it's easier

Yes it has somewhat.

And as someone said, it's cheaper to clap for the NHS workers than give them a pay rise. And so it turned out.
