Interesting, it seems that many small non-retail businesses and traders, despite having suffered over the pandemic, have opted to close early for Christmas.
Non-retail business is slow anyway, and this week means almost nothing to many of them as companies stop discretionary spending in the lead-up to Christmas and almost nobody starts a new project at this time of year, so rather than risk getting stuck with an isolation order over Christmas just for staying open in a null week, they effectively pulled the pin last weekend.
I'm a bit surprised but it sort of makes sense, they don't want another COVID impacted holiday period!
