This is just a personal follow up to our front page change on Covid19 and our stores. As we sit here and watch the world hit the pause button it is good to think about how we view the world.
I firmly believe that 'this too shall pass' though I do not know when. In the meantime we all have a role to play in the process. Please stay home if you do not need to be out, but if you are out, be mindful and treat your conduct as if you are infected and possibly spreading the virus. The best case scenario will make it feel like an over reaction, that is good. The worst case is losing loved ones or at the very least knowing people who did.
That said, as we only have 1 staff per 1000sqft or more, we will be open and working as best we can during the crisis. This is a part of the social contract I feel business and employees have. We have an obligation to stick with our staff in these hard times as they stick with us during busy times. If orders fall through and we have nothing left to do (not the case so far) then we will clean, restock, make our offcuts into useful things, innovate with our equipment and generally get ready for the new reality. If you have a business, take this time to do all the little things that don't get done. Catch up. We'll all be ready to go again by the time this is over.
Good luck out there, Graham
