How is business in your area?

Went to London a couple of weeks back for first time since March.

Couldn’t believe what I saw with how quiet the streets were - ok they weren’t empty - especially round Whitehall and Victoria where our office and others are. Pubs empty, coffee shops closed and when I went to Itsu at lunchtime that was closed too. How many more will go after a second lockdown ??

We’ve moved everything forward 7 years or so in just a few months

I am going, for the first time since March, to my work place in Birmingham city centre this week. Wonder what it will look like.

I am on a different forum frequented by Europeans. They posted pictures of several famous and otherwise areas of England during the day in the midst of the first lockdown. The areas he had to himself were stunning. He was in some beautiful areas and took numerous photos of areas I only know by movies and normal pictures of just regular areas, meaning someone like me who has never been has no clue where it is. It seems things look better without a bunch of people around. But it was sad to see.
