It is very encouraging to hear this sort of thing. I just hope that everything carries on going so well with the vaccines etc and we can follow the "roadmap". 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Equally there’s a chance that it goes variant/change too many and becomes a weaker threat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We know what’s coming Mark. I can see it now. The June re opening of the Uk with Leicester back where it belongs in lockdown. The holidays all cancelled from LE postcodes.
