      Can add any form of fitness equipment as well. When the gyms were closed, prices were eye watering.

        English isnt my first language plus I also failed my English GCSE, it was a good thing back in the 90s many universities didn't require it for entrance to do a Computer Science degree.

          Bikes and smart turbo trainers were like hen's teeth.

          Bikes are still hard to get, but for the moment turbo trainers are easier .... for those that like to gamble, why not buy a few now, and sell for a profit come winter when we go into the next lockdown and outdoor cycling is less enjoyable?

            Bit like moving up in the housing ladder. Your house has gone up but the one you want has gone up even more.
            Your petrol/diesel cars will be worth a fortune once they stop selling them!

              More to the point, there must be a glut of all this stuff that people bought during lockdown and don't use now gyms are open, or bought during lockdown with good intentions and never used or even built. If not now, then surely soon. 2nd hand gym equipment is often cheap to begin with as it's heavy, could be some cracking deals in autumn.

                I suspect there are going to be a lot of dogs and cats that end up in the rescue pound once the novelty has worn off and people on furlough return to work (or end up on UC). Ditto with the horse buying boom, that probably won't end well either.
                Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

                  At least you can eat horses, and sell them 2nd-hand. Few people want a pre-used dog.

                    I suspect there could be such a glut on the market, that prices will collapse. People have been paying absolutely silly money for any old nag.

                    As for eating them, I think that's only a French thing (). Not sure how easy it is to export them these days.

                      It's only common in France but I'm told they are pretty tasty.
