Coronavirus

This is rather a light-hearted question, so please don't read anything into it... but i do wonder the correlation between people living in "nice" parts of the country, and their corresponding views on national lockdowns and travel restrictions!!

I pointed similar out on the facebook page around the time of the initial lockdown... a few Welsh and Lake District residents did appear to be revelling in their location and telling everyone else that it was "tough luck" if they didn't have any mountains to enjoy... i jokingly pointed out that perhaps they shouldn't be allowed into the nearest large town or city to make use of the facilities...

As you can imagine, it din't go down too well

quite.
I live in a nice place: it's a small town with lots of green space and people, on the whole, are sensible and there's a good sense of community. Last lockdown wasn't too bad: people did panic shop a bit, but things were tolerable. Not sure it would have been the same for me if I was in social housing in Manchester or Birmingham, though.
