An awful lot of non-food retail chains make all their profit in December/ beginning of Jan.
By the end of November that have broke even.

A friend lived on the same street and I (from a distance) knew his son. Plus I knew other people personally involved.

I hope she’s ok. Did she ever get contacted by track and trace or the app?
Yeah, they rang her a couple of times, me three times and FoL#1 twice.
Wish her the best from us, Nurse Rob.
