Not buying it

I have bought online throughout lockdown , if everyone stops buying there will be more job losses and many more businesses will fold.

I have tried my upmost to only buy British wherever possible.

No I buy from Amazon which keeps the delivery men in a job. Very little of what I buy online comes with Royal Mail.

We stopped buying online a while ago, out of respect for those key workers in the postal service. Our postie has been heaving round with a huge trolley of parcels in addition to the usual post, because our local services are massively overwhelmed.

Now things are starting to open up a little, I've thought about buy DGS a couple of new things (he's growing like a weed) only to find I've lost the taste for shopping. I'm OK doing the weekly online grocery shop, but beyond that, have little interest.

Anyone else with me?
