    To be honest hearing some of the stuff pubs are doing with regards social distancing etc I wont be hurrying back, one saying the pub will have an app and you text which table your at and they bring your beer to you, that's very much how it was back in the day I started drinking, nobody left the domino's table to get a drink there was always a waiter on and he made good money.
    Another saying they will have someone on the toilet door making sure only one using it at a time, I'm realy not desperate for a pint.

    Yeah, same with shops. I went to the Apple Store to collect an order. They asked me to read a disclaimer, wear a mask and wanted to take my temperature- said ‘sorry’ but I’m not doing any of those things, they bought the item outside the store to me - quite a few people after me asked if they could bring out their order as well.
    Think the retail trade will continue to suffer for quite a long time yet - I won’t be rushing to the shops anytime soon.

    The first time under lock down Morrisons brought our order they brought all the box's with our groceries in and put them right up against the front door, then rang the wifes phone to say our groceries were on the door step.
    When we went to get them the guy was on the lower step and was full of apologies, I said not apologies required we were more than happy with the way Morrisons went about delivering our order.

    Boris being roasted again today. Uttery woeful. Didn't even answer questions and I stand by what I say he will be one of the worst PM this country has ever had.

    PM pulled on the crap tracking system and the missing App, and the PMs inaccurate numbers previously quoted around child poverty.

    PM stated no country in the world has a working test, track and trace system in place.

    Starmer one word response “Germany”.

    Johnson has become a mixture of Trump Mini Me and Harry Enfield's Kevin . he was even accusing Starmer of misleading Parliament with figures his own Government have made public. sat down pulling all sorts of childish faces. Johnson must think the people of this country are too thick to understand if he's lying or not.

    Seriously, he got voted in and his competition was poor at the time but honestly the man is a fool. We can only hope his party understands this which I read some want him out already. He's an idiot!

    Sometimes in life you've to hold your hand up and admit you made a mistake. Those that voted for this clown have made a massive mistake.

    I'll stick to my own personal pub for the time being; it's open 24 hours a day, has my favourite beers on, there's no social distancing (or masks required) and I don't have to book in advance to get in.

    Or I could try this pub:

    We might well pop round and give your personal pub a try. It sounds ideal in these difficult times! :)

    What happened to my posts about the 108million contracts? That was related to Covid?

    Right once again us Brits have shown we are not to be trusted relaxation of the rules and stupidity breaks out.
    The goverment should shut the beaches close the beauty spots and postpone pub openings. Without a doubt with this behaviour a second wave is coming.

    In all fairness that's what everyone said the last time the beaches were packed, we had VE day parties and the BLM protests occurred. All we've had since then is both deaths and new cases fall.

    Whilst it looks like loads of people are on the beaches at BLM rallies and celebrating the Premier League, in reality the number is quite small compared to those sticking to the guidance.

    There will have been transmissions that take place that wouldn't have done had people not acted in this way but it will be within those groups.

    This kind of selfishness is prolonging the virus transmission and there is no doubt recent figures would be lower.

    Deaths might not be at the levels they were a few weeks ago but if you take part in these activities you are putting a bigger strain on the NHS staff who have been working flat out for months, just so you could get a suntan, rip down a statue.

    It's possible it got swept up in the cull; if that's the case I apologise. Feel free to mention it again.

    The government brought this on themselves! I was talking to a few 70 plus aged people yesterday and they said that the MP's have been continuing as normal and I am not having them telling me what I should do now.

    The non Cummings sacking has created all this! the MP's going to second houses have created this! The MP's going back to work and their offices has created this! The MP's seeing their families while we all don't has created this! The ruining of the economy has created this!

    No one is listening to Boris anymore because he doesn't know what he is doing. So don't blame the British people, blame useless people in charge.
