Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[goats]

Re: Coronavirus update

You managed to get a pint? Wow, we tried that last weekend but unless you had pre booked, paid a deposit and ordered at least £100 of food you had no chance.....I managed to get one in Forest of Dean 3 days ago, no problem

Also I totally forgot about masks in England so couldn’t visit any as don’t have any, wife couldn’t even get her fancy coffee. But going into a pub was fine, no mask needed.....

Beer,, in a beer garden. No app needed. It was a few in there, although the location was out the way. Talked to the landlord and he remarked that his bar was so small it’s going to be out of bounds for the foreseeable future, perhaps good. He was looking at how best utilise space in the beer garden.

Outdoor living, drinking and dining is obviously the way forward. Berghaus, Mountain Equipment etc will be doing a roaring trade on insulated jackets and gore tex coats so people can go on the piss. Not sure what they’ll compliment the girls high heels though.

City centre pubs look like a headache to get in. I’m with the wife for the annual cavorting and rummage next week. I think getting mullered is going to be hard work. At least her behaviour will improve.

Pubs are shite anyway, I’d happily let them close every bastard one if my kids can go back....which I have no doubt they will anyway.

Might be different in Wales?

The restrictions and rules are unravelling. I see in Greater Manchester you’re not allowed in someone’s home but you can still visit a pub or restaurant?

The question of schools or pubs is an interesting one. I assumed you’d need to close other shops too?

What a mess.

It's ridiculous.

You can'tvisit somebody's home but can book a table and two from those households can eat or drink a few feet apart.

Re: Coronavirus update

Wales is still shut....I believe some shops have opened but no one goes to them anyway.

Where do you live? Wales is nowhere near shut, the city centre in Cardiff is heaving. Today I've been to IKEA (socially distanced, queue to get in) then grabbed a pizza from town and went to eat it in the castle (hey TLG we were going to go to the new seating area but it's so popular that both sections had a massive queue of people)

Then went to Jacob's Market and John Lewis (masks, social distancing, hand sanitizers). Loads, if not most shops are open. St Mary's St is wonderful because there's tables out everywhere and people are sat outside in the sun eating and drinking, every table's full and most places have a queue to get a spot.

Honestly I don't know what some of you are looking at with some of the stuff you come out with

Re: Coronavirus update

Really? Last weekend my partner dragged me to Ikea and I was secretly wishing Wales was shut. Or Ikea.

Ikea appears to have a cult following, they do let 400 in at a time mind so somewhere to go I guess. Heard John Lewis has in fact opened too, if you could just navigate your way there through the arrows hey

I think St Mary St is perfect for that. Long may it continue, and the Hayes should be the same. The only gripe from me is closing Castle St. The knock on effect is huge, and the fact that the council know that and do it anyway rankles. They are supposed to serve the citizens not obstruct them.
I know they are serving them (n0 pun intended) with the eating area but people may go there once a week until the novelty wears off, thousands of people on foot in cars and on buses use it every day, or they would be if the council didn't keep closing it.

Re: Coronavirus update

I popped to " clarks village " in street today, a 2 min to get in through the gates, limited numbers in shops, some are 6, some are 10, think " next outlet " was 60

we got in the sports shops to get some sports clothes for the next various seasons ( netball and football ), all the shops we queued for were under 5 mins

the biggest queue was to get in the vans store , the guy said it was 1 hour 30 mins from the point we joined the queue, we moved on and popped to saltrock,

i must admit it was fairly normal apart from everyone ( apart from 2 Asian families and one old guy in a wheelchair who i guess didnt get the memo i guess )

Prezzo was open, but the burger place and franky and bennies still closed, which was strange ( unless ive missed they have gone under now )

thousands of people on foot can still use it, the others (which include me) are having to find alternative ways to get to where we're going if we need to go through town, it's not the end of the world. I agree for some people with mobility issues certain things that have been raised in this thread need to be looked at though.

29 degrees next weekend again by the way, the council have played an absolute blinder with the timing

Re: Coronavirus update

Hopefully we won't end up like Melbourne, home of the infamous Karen, of DIY superstore fame! I bet she's really popular now and enjoying her human rights to the full.
