Vacuum cleaners | Mask wearing | Insomnia tip | Names and places | Cop26

• John Harris (To mask or not to mask? That shouldn’t be the question) observed a 70:30 ratio of masked to unmasked in Asda and 60:40 in Tesco. For me: on Saturday morning in Waitrose (Rushden Lakes) 100:0. Monday morning in Marks & Spencer (Rushden Lakes) 100:0.
