Dinahmo, in regard to your post @13:24 today you state that "Under lockdown there wasn't a great deal of employment around".
The above is simply not fact. When lockdown first struck all the food and drink sold through pubs, restaurants, cafes etc was immediately transferred to the supermarket chains being they were the only major retailers allowed to remain open.
Those that were employed in the above lockdown retail outlets did not require the work that was, and still is, on offer by the supermarket chains as they were on furlough with eighty percent of their salaries being paid by the government.
Therefore there has been throughout this crisis a large amount of employment on offer by large chain food retailers that often they have not been able to fill.
Obviously, to work in a large supermarket distribution centre a prospective employee requires a good degree of physical fitness, but plenty of employment has been available within the supermarkets themselves that does not require such high fitness.
Such work has included checkout operation, organising social distancing queues and collecting trollies etc.
I would state again that where there has been a will there has always been a way for self-employed persons throughout this crisis.
Feeling uneasy with tradespeople in the house.
