I said seeing the lights on in closed shops & staff inside preparing for reopening next week was good to see, and a positive sign that level 5 might be lifted. Do you not agree that that’s a positive thing?

I saw groups and families of all ages just hanging around, it was the closest thing to a normal Saturday I’ve seen since we went back to level 5. Also lots of lights on in shops with staff getting things ready in anticipation of reopening, was really good to see and I hope it’s a positive sign that level 5 might be lifted next week.
