Confidence Returning, But We Are Making An Eat-Out-To Help-Out Meal Of It

Green shoots are poking their heads timorously above the soil of the Coronavirus battlefield and must be hoping they won't get flattened by media boots. The people of the UK have been told to eat out, but wear a mask, stop shielding, but be safe, go to work, but remain at home if they would prefer, spend money, but fear redundancy, look for a 'V', but be terrified of an 'L' ... and whatever you do, don't go to Oldham. We haven't had to put up with so many contradictory messages since we were told not to speak to strangers, but to warmly welcome an apparently jolly bearded man into our bedrooms who will bring us gifts.
