“I HAD my haircut in a pub on Monday morning and then went shopping.
Even as my locks were lopped someone was banging on the pub door asking if they were open for a pint yet.
The Kingfisher was thronged with people – social distancing? maybe two metres was pushing it, but the mood was cheerful, almost holiday-like.
Everyone was smiling, we’ve been through a tough 12 months.
Can the virus be held in check? I like to think the people of Redditch are smart enough, and scarred enough, to not let it get out of control again.“
