[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING

#19: Pandemic’s Second Wave, Expensive Events, No-Deal Brexit & Office Romances

Episode Summary

Rising infections, dropping big cash on events, leaving the EU without a deal & entering relationships with co-workers.

Episode Notes

The ladies discuss the impact of a second wave of infections in the global pandemic and whether any country is getting the response right, if we should limit how much we spend celebrating major life events and whether asking friends to celebrate with us puts too much financial pressure on them, how a no-deal Brexit will likely affect our daily lives and if the UK can survive given the strain already caused by the pandemic, and the pros and cons of finding love at work and whether your boss needs to know.
