@catogrande No change around here much at all.
I help out in the local community shop and everyone still wears masks and social distances. I've heard pubs are bit more relaxed but people still don a mask when ordering from the bar or going to the loo.

Update: Was in ASDA this morning and plenty of people weren't wearing masks nor social distancing. Seemed to be a mix of locals and holiday-makers. Unsure if the likes of Waitrose or Tesco are the same.
Also my dentist has relaxed procedures a bit in their reception area. Pretty much the same PPE for the dentist himself though.

You do realise that this is a public forum don't you?

They do great pizza flavours like "Cheeseburger and BBQ Sauce" and a wide selection of cheap whiskies - as well you know.

I just had a flashback to riding halfway across Georgia, the day after discovering the delightfully named "Hankey Bannister" at the Turkey/Georgia border duty-free - stocking up on it, and then consuming it that night to free up luggage space. -
@taniwharugby Good news thus far!
I'm still going with a layman's view of vaccines and summer, which was always going to be the best time to give it a go.
Plus consumer behaviour - both the health scientists and 'save the economy' proponents sometimes forget that consumer behaviour is not just a switch that turns fully on or off the instant that alert levels change.

@donsteppa maybe the virus is like a teenager now and cant be arsed doing anything?
