    Signs that the policy is working although our region seems to have suffered a big rise I bet a lot of that came from that last manic weekend before the full lockdown . Bit more room for optimism today at least

    Think people are clicking this lockdown is for longer than they first thought. We sold probably a dozen hair trimmers today. One person Said they were driving from Oldham for one as they had sold out on line, told them to go poke

    On a lighter note how will it work when the lockdown is eased especially re the pub...?

    1) upon the signal been given the pub will have no beer (all stocks out of date)
    2) breweries will have no beer as it won't keep they will have to start brewing new fresh beer from scratch
    3) stocks will then be low as all demand will not be fulfilled from one brewing session

    This is a serious situation, anybody got any answers........?

    Funny watching Robert Peston being torn apart on social media after another 'war and peace' length question at the press conference.His stock as a creditable journalist is falling by the day.

    No, got plenty of bottles at home, just a bit of forward planning and I was a little bit serious on how it might pan out...

    Sorry mate I would think there are far more serious things to worry about hence my flippant reply.

    Forget the beer; you know what you'll really want to celebrate with when the pubs reopen .... a good bottle of vintage beaujolais nouveau!

    I could recommend some of Tennessee's finest vintages, and don't laugh, they cost more than halfway decent Aussie or South American wines, but I won't, it is bad enough that CV is causing problems back home, you don't need this dog piss compounding your worries. Some seriously undrinkable stuff, in some cases grown right next the interstate. Santé.:mask:

    The way I read it ... a precautionary measure in case he needs a ventilator. Hope that's all it is.
