Funnily enough a good chunk of the food UK eats comes from Ireland and other neighbouring EU countries.
During this covid virus lockdown working remotely from home with a massive farm size garden growing fruit and veggies in rural Ireland has proven to be better for my mental/physical health than being locked into a tiny apartment in a city
My routine for normal week days hasn’t changed. I’m still inside in front of a computer for most of the day. I still jog most mornings and go for a walk most evenings.
Not hanging out with people as much and other similar things would’ve presumably been impacted the same in most places.
Anecdotally, I mostly know middle and upper middle class people. A few have moved or are going to move into bigger and farther away places from their current apt. But still within their current city limits.
I’m sure you enjoy your location and house size. It appears people who are enjoying larger and more rural living spaces always preferred them pre-corona too. Perhaps I am missing a trend of many people who can work remote now, moving out of cities. I know I see a lot of chatter on ‘trendy’ social sites, but it’s not always representative.
Depends. I can see a great Xmas season in UK retail ("get stuff before the gates are closing"), and a wealth of new im-/export businesses in the time after (and running such businesses isn't out of character for Londoners I guess). I know I'd be looking into these kinds of opportunities right now.
