Life’s little things have a big impact

With the easing of lockdown restrictions in sight, Brits have revealed the little things in life they will no longer take for granted come 21st June, such as shaking someone’s hand, the sight and sound of a busy high street and waiting to board a plane.

Research of 2,000 adults by Specsavers revealed six in 10 have come to appreciate the more mundane things in life since lockdowns began last March. With summer approaching, the sight of a sunny pub garden, the smells of a football ground and being in the middle of a crowd at a festival on a hot day also made the top 50 list.

The study saw being able to go on holiday whenever you fancy top the list with 41 per cent, while seeing people without masks (40 per cent) said the simple sight of someone smiling (28 per cent) also ranked highly.

Aston spoke to Jane Stoneham from Sensory Trust and Dr Josie Forte from Specsavers to discuss the findings in further detail and reveal some of the top 50 everyday things that Brits won’t take for granted.
