Leisure centres and swimming pools are in trouble because of the lockdown.  They have lost a lot of money and are not all open yet.  Money is earned from course for learning to swim and other close contact, like judo.  Most have stopped.  There are 2,727 public leisure centres in Britain – about half may not survive to Christmas this year.

Farmers now say they can’t sell British wool.  Some is being stored, other farmers have to burn it.  People prefer synthetic (plastic) fibres and not real wool.  Also problems in selling to other countries makes it hard to make a profit.  Farmers thought that people were aware of the damage of plastics so they will want woollen clothes.  That has not happened yet.
