The noises coming from Westminster are very positive today and it appears (after SAGE advice and subject to 'Cabinet' approval) the PM will announce tomorrow some relaxation in social distancing and will give a firm nod to the reopening of the hospitality sector on 4 July subject to certain restrictions.

If this is announced as rumoured it will give the green light for lounges to start reopening. There will be changes, that's for sure. I understand there will be extra staff rostered in those (BA) lounges that do open, and refreshments will be ordered using an App.

Let's hope we truly are on the other side of this craziness and that our (hopefully temporary) 'new norm' will soon present itself for our collective delectation.
