Effect of Covid-19 on nightlife survey

[Silvia Bluejay 1,590]

I've just spotted this article on the online version of the Evening Standard.

And this is the survey they talk about. Anyone heard of/tried it?

Because it doesn't have anything to do with the Standard itself.

Thanks Bluejay

I've just done the survey, and was a bit taken aback by the request for a name, an email address and a postcode. However, I entered my info, and clicked yes at the very end to being contacted for further discussion. If they get back to me, I'll post their questions here and send them a humongous collated reply with a lot of comments!

Might I be the first to ask 'what feckin' nightlife?'

Covid has temporarily killed it hasn't it?  I've gone from 4-6 gigs a week to sitting in front of the telly with a tinny.

What are they expecting to find out?

Probably an estimate of the number of people affected, and an idea of how badly, and perhaps what could be done if it's not too late.

I used the Consumer tab to give my replies, since strictly speaking I'm not in a band or depending on gigging to make a living. It asked what kind of places I used to frequent pre-Covid, how many times I used to go out in a week, how much money, on average, I used to spend in those places, and similar questions.

I imagine the Freelance, Employee and Employer tabs ask different questions.

Sorry @Silvia Bluejay, I edited my post, probably as you were typing. I let my irritation at the situation blurt out!

There were too many one question per page clicks going on with the survey, so I didn't actually find out all the contents.

The point still stands that everything which happened before isn't happening anymore- but perhaps a little more detail might help them come up with some kind of plan. Over all, I've coped with the loss of my all-in-one job and hobby in one fell swoop fairly gracefully, but the concept just caught me at the wrong angle there!

No prob! I'm not involved with that survey at all, but I do think that the more voices coming from our corner are heard by the powers that be, the better.

Indeed- I'll revisit it when the pain in my knee has subsided! 😄

Nightlife? The only thing around here that currently has a nightlife is my tabby cat. The local rodent population is rather wishing his was as curtailed as that of the human population.
