Noticed on Public Transport still the number of people wearing face masks is still quite high.
Noticed it is a slight bit different between routes, more seem to be wearing them on services like the 143/382 than services such as the 102/221/263 & I've noticed a complete demographic split where old people still wear them whereas younger people don't.
Personally I have stopped wearing mine & have done since the restrictions regarding wearing them was lifted but just a casual observation I've noticed.

The sample of routes you list suggest people wear masks more on the back-street than main road routes. I reckon the back-street routes are used more by local residents, especially more elderly people. |

It is almost like masks were never a thing, I probably see 2 - 3 per carriage of a train. It's the same at work , I used to see lots of people in masks but this has completely dropped off.
Fingers crossed we don't need any further measure like face coverings in the Autumn / Winter as I think it would be very hard to get people to return to wearing them.

The work from home debate comes up here a lot so thought this might interest some.
Law firm says staff can work from home - for 20% less pay
A London law firm has offered staff the option to work from home permanently, but the convenience comes at a price.
The firm, Stephenson Harwood, said it would allow staff to work remotely but pay them 20% less than their current salary.

Some people could possibly weigh it up though as to whether with not needing to pay for rail/petrol costs or buying Pret everyday they would be happy to continue working remotely. I am pro-return-to-office but I don’t think the idea of cutting pay is enticing anyone back, I think the issue people faced with going into the office was not necessarily to do with the office itself (although I myself am not a fan of office gossip or political debates) but more to do with the commute that came along with it with rising train fares & overcrowded trains/buses. |

What could be the big test is the increased energy costs with another one due around Autumn! This could really have a impact on people who are not used to using their own energy all day in the winter. |

That is a VERY steep pay cut. What justifies that |

That is a VERY steep pay cut. What justifies that They’re starting salaries are £90k so many will be able to stomach it |

Kier Starmer has put himself in a position where he has little choice but to resign if he gets a fine although he could contest any fine in court as a final role of the dice. It also puts the police in a rather awkward position of effectively deciding whether the opposition leader should remain in office. I think most people are sick and tired of it all now not least of all because of the drain on police resources. |

Labour didn't do particularly well either, Lib Dems and the greens were the real winners. |

Labour didn't do particularly well either, Lib Dems and the greens were the real winners. I noticed in Crouch End & Muswell Hill a lot more “I’m voting for Liberal Democrat” in what is very much Labour territory so you could be right on that. I did vote Conservative admittedly this time around not based on partygate but generally how they’ve done as a council & for me Barnet Council have been well run under the Conservatives since 1998 so I was completely happy to vote Daniel Thomas back in although certainly partygate has left some peoples opinions on the Tories tainted. I personally will not be voting Boris Johnson back in nor will I be voting Keir Starmer next election |
