The lockdown has had consequences for businesses.

The local paper shop has folded, for one, whilst a bathroom fitter has stated that business has gone down the pan.

Any you've heard of?

Stage musicals have also been affected, although they don't make a song and dance about it.

Not surprised our local joiner is going out of business. He was never known to be the sharpest tool in the box

Not surprised Bluebelle. Just heard another fishmonger has gone out of business. Poor man hasn’t had a sole in the shop for weeks.
