Well that’s the thing with narrow observations is that it doesn’t capture consumer spend or necessarily reflect the national picture. It’s just your own perception which is rather subjective.

People on furlough may be ‘observed’ to be out and about to get out the house however not making the same amount of discretionary spend prior to Covid.

Every pub I’ve been in that’s usually standing room only is filling their seats to comply with distancing however no standing. So, observably busy, but still trading far below normal.
