I don’t often agree with anyone from OFSTED (I did 12 years as a school governor, won’t say ‘served’ as it wasn’t all like a prison sentence) but chief today said something wise: that ‘we should be focusing on what we can do, rather than what we can’t’. She was talking about schools reopening or not (depending what day of the week it is), but this does resonate with other aspects of SD and LD. As I was queuing in the rain outside the bakery I did think, thank goodness this is Burford High Street in 2020 and not Sarajevo in 1992. Where getting bread without getting shot by a sniper was the fear, rather than whether there’d be any croissants left or they’d have oat milk for my daughter’s latte. Let’s be thankful for small, or, actually, pretty large mercies.

Here’s the flip side. Should a business not have the right to choose whom it serves? If you as a client, or more likely potential client, rub us up the wrong way, are a declared anti-vaxxer or support the barges, can we not, as a business, say ‘Be Gone’?
