Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Ability to travel to London, to see my mum and my nan

Holidays and day/weekend trips

Being able to leave the house on a whim

Going anywhere that's more than a few miles away from my house.

Daylight/sunlight and fresh air in anything other than tiny rationed amounts.

I went to see a couple of rugby matches pre-lockdown and really enjoyed seeing live sport for the first time in ages. I was thinking it was going to be the start of a renewed interest/hobby.

That's a shame McG :-(

I got a bike – a Brompton – through our Cycle to Work scheme, which I picked up just over a week before the lockdown, and had ridden once. I didn’t learn to cycle as a kid, so only learned how to cycle towards the end of last year, and am still not massively confident – I’ve only cycled in one of the local parks, find even that a bit nerve wracking when there’s too many people around. I had planned to practise over the spring and summer to try to get better and increase my confidence, but I’ve just been either running or walking each day as I don’t feel I can use my exercise allowance on something I’m not very good at, especially as I live in the city centre so would have to cycle on busy roads in order to get to anywhere that may be quieter to practice.

Yes. Live sport. Actually going. TV is very second rate.

Still the pub. I am worried about my local

Sitting in a coffee shop

A meal out

Unpressured shopping (I’m no leisure shopper, but even something as simple as nipping into a grocery shop “just because” would be nice)

Parkrun

Pub lunch with my team

A half marathon start line with thousands of people

Slap up meal at my mum and dad’s

To be clear, personally I’m having “a good lockdown”. Circumstances are good, my family are together and comfortable, while the weather is great there’s lots for me to do. I more worry about other people’s situation than my own.

But those things above and many others would be so nice!

For me, it's people. People I know and people I don't.
And the pub.

And coffee shops.
