AbsolutelyForgive me for being blunt it’s not often I swear on here.
But some real miserable fuc*ers on here.
Yeah, but theres long words and all that...TL:DR
No one knows fuck all.
I'm in the same boat, absolutely rammed with work. I'm pretty sure our paths will have met (if you submit building regs drawings) People who are still working have never had this much spare cash and without the prospect of a holiday they are spending it on their house to create space, particularly as home offices are now required.I can only speak from my personal experience. I work in the building trade but not actually involved with or carrying out the building. More in the conception and design stage. I've never been as busy. The enquiries and subsequent jobs have been coming through thick and fast since the summer and I'm struggling to keep pace with it. Not complaining though.
All the builders I know are in the same boat.
It's great at the moment but I'd add a note of caution. At some point in the not too distant future, the bill for this pandemic will have to start being paid back. The furlough scheme will end. And even though I voted leave, I've always expected some short term economic pain from that.
So I do expect things to slow down at some point. People haven't been spending on leisure, holidays etc. So there is spare money swilling around. I don't expect this 'boom' to still be going in say 12 months time. I hope I'm proved wrong though.
I agree Wiz (my god twice in one day ). I just can't see office occupation returning to pre pandemic levels. And with the lack of footfall from office workers, that in turn will affect retail as most offices are in town or city centres. We may well roar back, but it's roaring back from a very low starting point. But let's wait and see. If 2021 does turn out to be ok, but a false boom before the inevitable downturn, let's just enjoy it while we can.

I think you’re spot on regarding people reevaluating how precious life is after the past year and planning to do all those things they probably wouldn’t have got round to before. And a lot of that includes spending.
Covid allowing I’m taking my granddaughter to New York in December. That wasn’t on the cards at all until I realised how much missing a year of living life puts things into perspective.
Bring it on I say , life is short and it’s definitely for living.
