A local opinion poll was taken in our district the other day. It asked which local facilities are you missing most, being locked in at home. The sample was modest, just under 2000 respondents, but the results were interesting:
Going out to restaurants. 38%
Getting a haircut or other
personal grooming. 12%
Sending kids to school. 8%
Going to your workplace. 6%
Visiting your place of worship. 6%
Going to the gym or fitness center. 15%
Going out to parks and outdoor spaces 11%
Other. 5%
………..So working in the office and praying at church can’t match a meal out or keeping fit. Sounds reassuringly Epicurean.
