Not Companies House but a Civil Service office. We've been downsizing steadily for the last 20 years. We've been in our current building for around 14 years. We used to have the entire ground floor. Now we have a quarter of that and it'll soon feel too big with so many people working at home.
Thankfully, it's not an unsettling time for me. As far as work goes, those who know me well personally will be aware that the last ten months or so have been surreal rather than unsettling - I can't go into details, but it's been a weird, weird period and that's without Covid-19. Still, could be worse - circumstances have meant I've built up loads of leave, so I'll be having plenty of lazy days off like today in the coming weeks.
but the world has to get back to " some kind of normal " at some point, sure it would be great to have 0 chance of getting covid, but thats not where we are at and it could be years till that happens
Im speaking as someone who am in my 4th week after getting back to work, we have gone to the garden centre a few times, been to Wickes, today i popped to Halfords as my brake light was out, as ive mentioned it before our girls football team is going back training on Friday ( in bubbles of 6 )
we havent been to the beach, though the surfboards and wetsuits are out of our storage container, so a beach trip could well happen shortly, ive dug out our Weekend camping tents, so we could stay over on a campsite
truthfully life is returning to a semi-normal down here, yes its at a distance ( be it at 3M ranging down to 1/2M and with perspex screens everywhere ) people are earning a living, life looks fairly normal now
Of course drakeford has a great fall back. when the Welsh economy is on its knee's and jobs are lost, he can always shout " Oh its them Evil English overlords that caused this " or " Oh its all Boris's fault " , its a no lose situation for him, he has he " get out of jail card "
Having read the guidance on reopening venues it looks pointless.
No loud music in case people shout and raise the rate of infection transmitted in the air.
No loud music or live acts in case people start dancing.
No sport on the tv in case people hug.
People should be seated.
It'll be like having a drink in a Dr's surgery waiting room.
Pretty shite for the bulk for the NTE though. Half the places won’t make money or be worth opening at the capacity levels being thrown around.
Throw in the expectation of venues to keep tabs on its customers for track and trace purposes and the extra costs around that.
Mu only observation on that is regarding traffic. Anyone who drives regularly will know the difference in traffic between when school are open and when they're not, so part of it still being relatively quiet may be due to them not being open.
If so we may see an increase on Monday morning.
