So disappointed, bring back lockdown.

It was so nice and peaceful with the shops shut

No thank you. You can stay hiding if you like.

I'd ask the retail staff what they think.

Non essential shops aren't open yet here, but when they do open I won't be in any rush to go to them.

4000 teens attend a rave in East Manchester, several stabbed, one alleged od on drugs, market st was rammed, not a mask to be seen. M60 very busy, it's all back to " normality " shops full, no social distancing once inside. 14 days from now is going to be interesting.

Your clearly on the wrong side of the pennines, shops open but people distancing being respectful etc over on the Yorkshire side.

I’ve been going to work every day thanks. I’ve enjoyed the buses being empty and on time for once.

I’ve enjoyed the town centre not being full of litter.

Said the same thing.

I find it strange churches, that are NEVER full are only open for private prayer, yet the temples of Primark, Nike et all worshippers are allowed to queue cheek to jowl around the block.

I was going to see my youngest and her husband for the first time in four months until she told me she'd been to the BLM protests. They've already had the virus but I think I can delay seeing them for another two weeks.

I think the idea about churches is that people sit together for a period of time. In a shop people are constantly moving.

Be nice to think we might be able to re-evaluate a few things. Definitely more homeworking. Better for the environment and seeing family more. Less trips for business, we have the technology to meet at the click of a button.

Unfortunately, a lot of people are gonna find themselves on benefits after this. Hopefully it might change attitudes about benefits, it's a safety net for us all.

"I'd ask the retail staff what they think."

I've been working all the way through as a supermarket worker. I just feel sorry for the shops near primark that have to cope with primark queues in front of their shops in town centres. It must be disruptive especially when they likely have queues of their own.

I don't mind them opening. I just won't be rushing to the shops any time soon.

I am curious why Primark of all places has seen such a rush?

I can’t wait for the welsh government to announce plans for reopening here.

I own a little boutique, lockdown has been hard. Luckily online has kept me ticking over but I really need to get back to work!

I just hope people don’t forget about their independent businesses now that we are reopening.

Yep I have a friend who runs her own boutique. Hopefully she will get herself back in black.

I'm hoping the aftermath is 'better' too. People appreciating little things like being able to see friends and family or just go in a shop. Home working without horrible commutes would be great too.

Some people are pissed off about furlough so not sure everyone will have changed attitudes to benefits.

I wish all the key workers and NHS staff could now get a furlough break in return for keeping the country going through all this.

Maybe women needing to get out of the house and have some retail therapy.

Figures have shown that many women have still been doing all the 'women's jobs'- childcare, washing, cleaning, shopping, plus home schooling, working from home, extra meals because people haven't been eating away from home... etc

While the men have been ... hmmmmmmmmm
