Manville has had plenty of adventures this past year — “people say they had a good war, I’ve had a good pandemic”, she says, in one of her more luvvie moments. She has been acting professionally (chuyên nghiệp) since she was 16 but says she is “still developing as an actor”.
The construction sooks bleating (nói nhỏ nhẹ) about their first experience of lockdown when they’ve been enjoying boom times should be mindful of how short-skilled they are when deciding how to share the pain. Ditto those retailers and others who have proven to be very profitable indeed, who have had “a good war”.
“Ah yes, he had a good war,” we used to grunt in the Commons tea room about various old buffers (lão già ngớ ngẩn) among our ranks; or “bad war of course, poor chap – there was that business about his family firm profiteering in 1943.” From any great time of trial, stories and reputations cast their shadows down the years to come.
ASOS is among those retailers (nhà bán lẻ) to have had ‘a good war’ during the pandemic. In some ways it’s almost been emblematic (biểu trưng) of the shift (thay đổi) in power in the sector as the online-only firm snapped up Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and HIIT from Philip Green’s collapsed Arcadia group for £265 million back in February, taking the iconic brands off of the high street and into a digital-only future.
