Not so much with the thread, but perhaps with the topic.
I'm at an age with children and grandchildren now and my youngest daughter having just sold her house and about to upgrade and take on a very serious mortgage, that I look ahead to the sort of place they are likely to be living in.
I can't say I'm overly optimistic.
Set a precedent for closing down the country in the current Autumn circumstances and you are accepting almost annual lockdowns for a couple of months.
Speaking out and voicing my opinion is all I can do.
