It's certainly declined, but the boss reports that it's still a majority pastime in Sainsburys, Tesco and M&S Food round here - more so in M&S, which could just be Tring vs. Hemel Hempstead and Aylesbury, or the M&S demographic (we are agnostic as to supermarket and will shop anywhere we can find what we want).
I make a lot of visits to Screwfix and Toolstation, where mask wearing is pretty much nil. None of tradesmen I am currently employing has worn a mask, even at the height of the pandemic, with one exception, the joiner who only stopped when he was double jabbed.
I had a pension trustee meeting today - it was agreed that the December meeting will be a face to face and we will go for a Christmas dinner. or at least a drink. The last time I went to London, in January last year, I brought back Covid.
