Two weeks on from the latest step taken in lockdown easing and it seems the country has acquired an insatiable appetite for consuming pints of beer outside and queuing patiently to get into Primark.
While our enthusiasm for alfresco drinking may be dependent upon the weather, investment analysts are busy assessing whether people s adoration of Primark will continue once a trip to non-essential shops becomes less of a novelty.
Primark s fortunes matter because the clothing store is a bellwether for the health of the nation s high street. With so much shopping done online during the pandemic, as bricks-and-mortar stores have been inaccessible, its success or otherwise in the months ahead will show whether shopping habits have changed forever or not.

Garry Lyon was left surprised by Geelongâs inability to exploit Tom Hawkinsâ match-up on Melbourne utility Adam Tomlinson.
Demons defender Steven May was substituted out of Sundayâs game with a bloodied eye after copping an accidental elbow from Hawkins in the second quarter.
It meant Tomlinson was tasked with stopping the 2020 Coleman Medallist in Mayâs absence and did a serviceable job as the Dees made it four straight wins to start the season.
Melbourne finished +12 for inside 50s and had 10 more scoring shots with Hawkins taking five marks and booting two goals.
âThis is what I was surprised with,â Demons great Lyon told
