It is hard to remember that life was different a month ago isnt it? A recent servey said that guess how many? Yes that is right 91% dont want to return of how it was. I also like the new routine and I like the change too

In all honesty, nothing much has changed for me on a day to day basis.

I’m still going to work,still doing what I normally do.

It’s been great having the buses on time, not filled with screeching children.

There are aspects of collective life that aren't so great, including overwork, pollution, stress and more. But I miss the fuller engagement with people and many aspects of

the broader life that I had.

3 weeks into furlough and now told I have another 3 weeks off. Me and wife. Apart from drop in money, we have had the chances to get jobs at home done, garden, house, the car looks amazing, and we get on well. Been the longest I've had off work since I started working. Tbh I think the swinging side which we have tended to have quietened down on seems to have less appeal now. Game changer for a few possibly. Time will tell.

Mrs is still working and unfortunately is working longer hours too now. Myself and the kids have done loads of odd jobs, gardening, bike riding and cooking but it’s hard when a lot of the things that all of us took for granted and enjoyed doing can’t be done at the moment.

Mr is still working normally but I fell into the shielding category so I have been off work since mid March, god send with the kids being off school, so things have changed a lot for me. I’ve worked pretty much from the age I could.

To be honest it’s given me a new outlook on things - I spend so much time laughing with the children how, doing things with them I didn’t have time to do before. Things I will now miss when/if things return to normal.

I think in same way this will change how we all live our lives Even if very small. But just my opinion

People might be enjoying sat at home on furlough and don't want to go back to reality. But there will be payback, our economy is now worse than in the financial crisis so I'm expecting some tough years ahead regarding austerity and taxes

Still both working but we are feeling more tired than usual. Very lethargic. Putting it down to everyday feeling like Groundhog Day.

On a positive note we are enjoying the general peace and quiet.

I wonder how many of that 91% really mean that they want to return to how things were for them but want the benefits such as less traffic, quieter streets etc. If that many people genuinely want change then it will happen

If we’re talking about me - then yes - is like to be pretty much the same - but hopefully the me who finally writes that best seller and isn’t totally skint when it’s time to retire as there are so many places I want to travel to!

I like who I am - that hasn’t and won’t change - but I also like/love lots of people I can’t see right now and I look forward to seeing them - and shagging one or two of them!

I hope people will decide they’d like to keep the cleaner air clean - and the better work life balance that working from home can give. I hope the new virtual meetings etc will continue - so people won’t feel trapped into an hour’s commute to the office each day - or fly to meetings half way across the world!

I hope we’ll continue this new-found respect (for many) for the carers, dustbin men, supermarket workers and all the other previously ‘invisible’ people who make a society possible!

I really, really hope so - but I’m not holding my breath!

I think we'll be wary of places like pubs etc for a while as there's no cure.

Reading some of the shocking behaviour committed by some posters if people get too close to them, I think we'll be wary of each other...unless they have big tits/look like Channing Tatum.

Admitted last year I made huge changes and had found the balance I wanted in life so my normal probably isn't everyone's normal

I have lost a condition which is now allmost certainly an allergy to car fumes,feeling much better.

Roads quieter,have become friends with more of my neibours as when out walking they chat from there gardens the neibourhood is closer and better.

On the downside miss my T girl life but able to chat thanks to fab and other methods of communication.Sorry about family in isolation so it I a mixed back

Children should not screech ever or if they do, the parent/s should tell them off. Talking, laughing is acceptable. Screeching is not.

Good to know talking and laughing is acceptable, do you have a set decibel limit on what is and isn’t acceptable?

I think social distancing in some or other form will become our new norm. Even when lock down restrictions have been eased or lifted, I think we have almost retrained ourselves to automatically keep a distance from each other..... Obviously not all of us, the idiots who didn't follow it, will probably not..... But we definitely going to see a new normal in his interact with other people, and how we socialise in group settings

Social distancing will not list forever at all

The way people work will be change in regards to far me people being given flexibility to work from home improving there work life balance also reducing commuting. Think of the positives that will change from this rather than the negatives

Mrs is working from home, longer hours and much busier. Mr is gutting the garden. Mr and the dog enjoying the sun, Mrs freezing indoors. We're happy being together 24/7.

I think winter lockdown wouldn't have felt so tough. When the weather is good we love going off in our camper most weekends. Desperately missing family and friends and gutted our holiday was cancelled.

On the plus side I think, in the main, we are seeing the best of humanity. Lockdown is bringing out the good in many and the selfish side in the rest.

Big brother is watching us more than ever and I suspect that will continue.

So I guess, in a nutshell, lockdown isn't for us

I think this also depends on the circumstances of each individual or family household.

If a person or in case of a couple has an underlying condition that makes it much more like,y that they would suffer dire consequences should they contract Covid-19 then they are probably going to be much more cautious about any return to normality in forseeable future. I think they will also be more reluctant to set up meets for time being in a lot of cases.

I totally agree, what i would add is if we all allow things to go back to exactly the way they were before this pandemic then we will truly learned nothing and will deserve everything that happens as a consequence.

not sure things will ever be the same again, atleast not for a long time, people will still be nervous, we were told in the begining that this wasnt a big deal by the people who should know, how will we trust them when they say its all over, and its going to take forever for the econamy to recover if it ever does

We hope to get as close as we can to how it was but I don't think it will ever be the same again. Pandora's box has been opened and the lid just won't go back.

We will probably go back to swinger clubs eventually, but I think the carefree days of Mrs H fucking multiple guys are well and truly over.

It will probably be more social than sex with just an occasional bit of fun from time to time.

We have no problem queuing to shop. It is easier to get around once you are in the store. Collecting prescriptions is quicker and more organised, even had my temperature taken before I went into the GP 's yesterday. We can't see our family which upsets me, but other than that, we are early retirees, so are used to being at home, so are happy

The main thing that we would like to keep is that folk seem a lot more friendly.

We have exchanged pleasantries with lots of people who live nearby where before we were just all passing ships.

Mrs M not being able to see her aunt has been the biggest downside

Lockdown is rubbish for us and we would love it to get back to normal.

She is working hard on the very front line of healthcare. She is hating it, seeing the reality of the virus.

He is working hard from home as he would have been anyway. No spare time as lots of other stuff needs doing, responsibilities etc.

So nothing changed in that sense.

But lockdown sucks because we don't live together and can't see each other, or see friends, or swinging partners, or family members. We're both lonely. We've tried all the virtual stuff, and it's fun, but it's not the same.
