Coronavirus vaccine found folks, it's called "spending good money". A quick belt of that, and no other protection needed. DM me for details of where to send your money, I'll make sure it's well spent, and you can relax knowing that you're immune.

You'll get some landlords who won't care and cram in as many as possible but I'd guess they'll get shut down. need to target their customers too, as its them who don't care about social distancing. If their usual pubs shut, they may try and attend pubs with more sensible customers and ruin those places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Parts of Spain have gone back into lockdown and now Melbourne has gone back into lockdown for 6 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My point was many pubs do not have customers who get horrendously drunk, rather they go for a few pints. The drunken yobs from city centres may target these pubs next if their usual haunts shut down. Hence if we want to keep some pubs open we need a huge clampdown on drunkards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That's my worry for micropubs. They've been mainly lager-lout free because they don't sell Fosters or Stella. But as pubs close, they might descend on them.

Perhaps it will be a catalyst to finally confront the problem and change! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Longy67 23 #118 Posted July 7, 2020 My experience of drinking out last Saturday was very positive, we didn't go far, just to my local Wetherspoons and a couple of independent places. Wetherspoons was by far the best for following all the new guidelines, we were greeted at the door and invited in, a quick fill of a card leaving contact details, then shown to a table, which were all spaced out well with some perspex screens Prices had gone up a little, but that was expected, ordered our first drinks at the bar, but used the app after, can honestly say it was an enjoyable experience, much like drinking out abroad, and it was good to see all the friendly staff back, a couple of them saying they were glad to be back after sat at home twiddling their thumbs for weeks, I'm lucky enough not to have been furloughed like them, I would have gone mental. All in all a good night, not too busy due to restrictions, but definitely going again.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
