Who do Leeds and indeed the rest of football think they are ?

[J R Hartley]

Cheers I did pop in during initial lockdown weeks to go to m&s for essential cheese scones for my old dear, to balance it out I also popped into Poundland to grab a load of crisps for the kids. It was deserted, maybe two people in m&s. Def got busier the last time I went in and quite a few people had realised it was a good place to shop as it was so quiet. You could also park on Charles street right outside which was great. A bloke I know who runs his own insurance Co said it was so dead initially he was getting hassled by the homeless quite aggressively, I guess they were getting desperate with no shoppers about.
No doubt most stuff will be open again in a few weeks and rightly so.....

Absolutely. We can’t stay in lockdown indefinitely, the cure is going to be more damaging than the virus. Get the boozers and restaurants open again ASAP too. They drive so many other jobs. Most of the magazines we print rely on the hospitality and retail trades for advertising.

I’ve been working so have got a feel for how much business has been affected. There’s people on furlough who just haven’t got a grasp of the serious impact to the economy. We’ve all had letters this week to say redundancy meetings to take place and I’ve still taken calls off furloughed colleagues who think it’s all going to magically turn around on August 1st when the 80% government furlough ends.
