The tills are ringing again. But will shoppers ultimately retreat to the safety of the sofa? Eleanor Pringle and Angus Williams investigate
It was a bright but tense morning when the shutters came up across East Anglia.
For all the hopes of the masses hitting the high street there was no guarantee the shoppers would show.
Would they be there pockets bulging with pent-up spending power?
Or would shoppers continue to kick back on the sofa, app in hand, and have their items dropped on their doorstep within mere hours?

Staff have a love-hate relationship with their screens. People have started jobs, launched businesses and developed strategies all in 2D.
But, ask Eleanor Pringle and Angus Williams, is there a downside to being away from the office bubble?
“You’re on mute.”
If the past year had a slogan, this would be it. And love it or hate it, the likes of Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Hangouts have got the economy through the pandemic.
The government, at least, are keen to get people back to their office.

The battle for the Division II boys state diving championship turned into a two-man battle between good friends.
Celina s Holden Cubberley gave Gates Mills Hawken s Angus Williams a battle and finished second to claim a third straight podium finish and first team All-Ohio finish at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton on Thursday.
Cubberley, who finished eighth as a sophomore and third last season, breaks the tie he had with former Bulldog diver Collen Byer for the highest finish for a male diver in program history. It s just been really fun. I pushed myself and it was good to see it finally pay off, said Cubberley via telephone after competition.
