A COLD April morning did not prevent Swindon shoppers coming out in force as Covid restrictions eased yesterday. After the third national lockdown left all of us stuck at home for weeks on end, people suddenly felt spoilt for choice as non-essential retailers reopened, pubs served pints to punters in beer gardens, gyms allowed fitness fans to use the facilities, and hairdressers got to work fixing overgrown mops. A brisk and cloudy Monday morning with light rain and even the odd bit of snow soon gave way to glorious sunshine beaming down onto Regent Street. As usual, Primark saw the most eager shoppers lining up to bag a bargain and part of College Street was closed to accommodate the constant stream of customers, though the line did not reach the remarkable lengths seen after the first lockdown ended last year.
