Questions for PT Forumites.
What's essential and what's not?
Encapsulated perhaps by the old adage:
* Must have
* Should have
* Could have
What have you gone without during the lock-down?
What have you "made do with" during the lock-down?
What has continued largely the same, during lock-down?
What have you been doing (keeping busy with), during lock-down?
When times are tough, what things - 'luxury' things - have you and others in your bubble dropped off the "must have" list?
Booze; baccy; takeaways; buying stuff.
Yet I see the the media (and the Tooth Fairy) going on about takeaways, their availability and how to get them.
Leaving aside concerns for those businesses and their staff, why is the nation and the media in any way at all pondering the diverse difficulties of obtaining the next lot of takeaways? Discretionary spending? Seems not.
Presuming 80% of normal wage / salary, such things should not be on the family's shopping list, at all.
Or is it me that's mad?
