    I've just got back from town expecting massive free for alls but the opposite has happened.
    Went in a jewelers hand sanitized wore a mask another couple walked in they too wore a mask.
    Went to the barbers wore a mask hand sanitized and asked to sign in with a contact number.
    Went in the Alhambra centre didn't see one person without a mask.
    Called in Boots chemist everybody including staff were wearing masks.
    Caught bus home everybody bar one lady (maybe exempt) wore a mask.
    In my view there was no different behaviour to what's become the "norm" of the past few months.

    Nightclubs can open. I think that’s the only difference.

    Just back from town, couple pints in Bramahs served at bar no mask; wandered into market, hand sanitiser but no staff outside, barely a mask to be seen inside.

    Think masks usage will drop off slowly. Personally just happy I don't legally have to wear one.

    Just been on twitter and apparently there are anti-lockdown protests in London which are kicking off a bit.

    Can anybody who knows about that kind of stuff explain why?

    Maybe they just don't feel free enough?

    My adblocker reckons 120, and Ghostery threw up 33 trackers. Quite something, even for a newspaper in 2021!

    I'm not quite sure you can quite class the Metro as a newspaper.

    The Birmingham Mail is the worst I've seen for usability, and that only gets 12 and 17 respectively. I think I'm going to whitelist it just to have a look. See you after the reboot.

    Sheffield Star is borderline unreadable on a mobile device.

    Just been to my local corner shop. Didn't wear a mask for the first time, felt a lot better. Person serving not wearing a mask. Bizarrely two cars went by (not uber, taxi drivers etc) and both drivers wearing masks, in 31 degree heat driving alone. I worry for the sanity of some people. I won't wear a mask from now on and will purchase a sunflower lanyard (for legitimate reasons) in case I'm challenged in tesco and sainsburys, which appear to be a law unto themselves.

    Looks like there are only 10 ads and 21 trackers on that - poor show.

    The Metro's seem to be multiplying - 120 and 55 now.

    Edit: trackers just gone to 59, and then 66. At least the ads seem consistent!
