GOOD NEWS, for drinkers, hopefully

[cyril evans awaydays]

While over there I was building an extension on Saturdays for one of the machine drivers from our site. One morning the woman from next door was coming up the ladder with a tray of Bacardi & coke, dear God those Germans liked a bevvy.

that's living alright

inebriated..

To be fair, the British lads on site where I was never indulged at all during working hours, in contrast the German lads were singing their frigging heads off by about two o’clock every day

Not selling beer on sites now, not like like Germany in ‘79 when there was a beer polier and beer caravan on site. So I reckon pubs are a different situation completely to building sites.

No, but you've still got a lot of people on site with an "I'll do what I want" kind of attitude.

From my experience most locals police themselves. I can't speak for pubs like spoons but I won't be going there so I don't particularly care, they'd be the type to have someone say there with a clicker mind.. but as for your bang average local they'll police themselves. Just like they manage to survive without bouncers and still get trouble..

What will the toilet situation be? Will there be a shithouse sheriff on the door ensuring one in, going in, thoroughly cleaning after the one and then letting the next one in? Will there be a seat cleaner, particularly in the ladies? Will it be waiter service, there’ll be no jostling at the bar for the punters? With the extra staff required and fewer customers allowed in can we expect £6/£7 a pint to cover the increased outgoings? Or will they try and maintain previous prices to encourage us in? There will still be a lot who’ll need convincing that it’s safe, lots of hurdles to overcome.

Expect a beer garden lined with portaloo’s.....every pub will have a festival feel

This isn't going to take off is it. Let's be honest.

Not until it’s 100% safe

What's unsafe about a portaloo..

I hope lots of people do stay away in case its not safe..... more room for me!!!!

No such thing as 100% safe. This point has already been commented on on this board!

Wait until the first one is pushed over ‘for a laugh’ when someone’s having a turn out

Really? I’ve decided after this pandemic I’m not doing anything unless it’s 100% safe

There's an old saying that if you don't drink and you don't smoke and you don't go with loose women you don't live any longer, it just seems like it!
