PATS CHAT

Things are settling in here on the coast.

Few people use the buses and they observe the new shopping rules. NHS staff between 8am & 9am, older people 9am-10am.

Queuing outside supermarkets and other shops still open is becoming the new norm. One in, one out seems to be working here. There the odd one or two who try to jump the que's but there soon set upon by middle women or millennials.

With no traffic wardens working people are still following the parking restrictions.

I've not seen a taxi too. Maybe they're avoiding taxi ranks and only working if called out?

The seafront and beaches are still busy. Families walking with kids, dog walkers and joggers. Nothing is open and parents must be saving a fortune on ice cream and fun fare rides.

There a few volunteer groups being organized to support the vulnerable or homeless. Every lamp seems to have a flyer on it for one of these groups.

The areas more laid back than normal and feels little more friendly.
