What things have you accidentally learnt during lockdown about yourself, others, and the things that you do and use? Has it changed your behaviour?

For me, the most significant learning has been that Cushnelle loo rolls are far superior to Andrex, something I wouldn't have known if it weren't through forced choice.

Getting the assisted level of shopping right .
Hasn't come yet ,too much waste

Timing of delivery the issue more than anything.

Learned that most people have short memories or will easily go with a crowd. A couple of months ago, people would wave at you while they clapped the NHS outside their house. Now they mostly drive past without acknowledgement, or moan when they can't get a doctor's appointment and have to try a walk in centre.

I don't like hustle and bustle and busy places as much as I thought

I could definitely work from home full time with just the occasional day in the office here and there.

Neighbours is better than I remember it, Home and Away much, much worse.

How satisfying it is to clean door handles, floors and worktops

That I definitely cannot drink. As much as I love being on my own it is dangerous territory sometimes. I also have an ability to sit and watch tv day and night no problem

Commuting not as bad as I used to think of it means seeing different people from time to time

I‘ve learnt that work is bad for my health, wish I was joking but I’m not.

Have lost a stone and a half since being furloughed and for the first time in a long time my blood pressure has dropped to a normal level.

Got called in on Monday to do one day, because a site visit was needed and I’m guessing nobody who is still working would do it, and within a couple of hours felt like shit and ridiculously stressed.

Weird thing is I’ve got a lot of stress at the moment as to if I’ll have a job at all when furlough ends but that doesn’t affect me the same way.
