It's become pointless, replying to posts in this thread (apart from this one attempting to be sarcastic), as peoples opinion on this subject, will not change.
Lasts night ECHO, did a similar, building this "white elephant", up.
Now, if waiting 30 minutes, for a sandwich & coffee (the order was wrong as well), is GOOD SERVICE, well blow me down and go for it.
Sunny, it might work, (people can go inside pubs next week, who will they serve first ?), Hissing Sid down, it won't work.
Enjoy you're turned up, dry bread sandwich & luke warm coffee:thumbup:

Your thoughts seem based on preference, yet you can't seem to accept that some people may enjoy it. I don't really like pubs with reactionary old farts talking shit about how everything used to be better, but i wouldn't dismiss it, it's somewhere for them to go and i suppose that they're only boring each over and maybe the poor bastard behind the bar. For some unknown reason, alot of these 'older' Bar bores seem to think that they're full of charisma and not giving a **** is some kind of badge of honour. Each to their own i suppose. Let's face it, you just hate the Council, probably hate the Welsh Government as well, simply because they don't agree with your line of thinking. Try and think of other people for a change.

You'll ignore the the queues to use it yesterday, the hundreds of people who got their correct food on time and had a nice experience and grasp onto some reporter saying their order was ballsed up so you can go aHA...there's been a lot of tongue in cheek back and forth in this thread but how much you're willing a scheme in your capital city that's a had a successful start to fail because you think cars should forever be king is genuinely sad.
I'll enjoy paying with my phone for my food and cold lager in the sun with my friends in 2020, you enjoy permanently wishing it was the 70's again :thumbup:

Disabled, yes-elderly-yes-Young mothers can cope, they're fit enough to walk for 10 minutes with their kids. I've said as much in this thread, although it would be interesting to see how many complaints the council have had over this road closure. Let's face it, you just don't like change or things that don't appeal to your prejudices, you're quite dismissive. I hope that you've raised these concerns with the council. Let us know what they say.

To be fair Delmi, the 70s was a much better time to be on the social scene. Local sport was booming, parks full of football, rugby pitches and baseball diamonds, all in full use on the weekends, pubs and clubs in their heyday, lots of civil unrest yes, but people stood up for themselves. No social media to whinge on, workers stood up for themselves and fought for their rights. I’m glad I lived in the era that I did.

At various times in this thread you've moaned about congestion, pollution on Western Avenue, people mingling with Coronavirus, public toilets for the outdoor area, the policing of the two hour wait, cold sandwiches, the ability of the set up to keep out rain, pollution off heaters in there if it gets cold, the seagulls and a really weird little spell right at the start when you were kind of arguing that Tramshed wasn't part of the city of Cardiff. But yes, the bus service is all you care about.

People were probably fitter and more healthy back then, although more people probably died through work related illness.

That all sounds great Steve, and although I'm not sad to be significantly younger than you, a pup really, his whole life ahead of him, I am sad I missed some of those things. I'm not saying for a second that every change is for the better but not every one is for the worse either that's all

Yup, it's balance. When i was growing up in the 80s on a council estate i'd say that it was quite a violent place for a young lad, plenty of bullying, racism, getting into fights etc. Society has changed and i don't have to worry as much for my own kids safety when it comes to unprovoked gratuitous violence-that's because things have got better.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with all of the outside eating and drinking areas now that people can eat and drink inside if they so desire.
Each working day I walk past Henry's on Park Place, usually mid to late afternoon. A few weeks back, when the pubs and restaurants were allowed to reopen but only serve people outside, there were plenty of people eating and drinking at the tables they'd set up outside. They were usually full or close to it. Occasionally, there were a few people queuing for tables. However, every day this week the outside tables have been completely empty. People have still been going there but are now having their food and drinks inside instead. I've never been in Henry's myself, but from the outside they seem to have plenty of room, so I guess social distancing isn't a major issue.

I'm surprised people have been going inside, thought they'd be more nervous about that to be honest. Although I suppose the truly nervous wouldn't go out to eat at all.
Also just so you know, I consider you the Bristol City to my beloved CCOEA. Bluetit's Swansea.

The weather hasn't been great this week, although no different to the past couple of weeks when they were busy outside. When I was walking into Park Place from Queen Street on Monday and saw nobody sitting outside I assumed they'd had to close for some reason, but as I passed I saw there were several tables full of people eating inside. There hasn't been a single person sitting outside when I've passed Henry's this week and they've also taken down the parasols that were outside, although all of the seats and tables are still there (or were yesterday).
As regards people being nervous, I went to a pub last Saturday afternoon for the first time since the lockdown - the Pantmawr in Rhiwbina. It was very busy and while the set-up was quite good, it's fair to say that very few people appeared to be carefully observing social distancing. Almost everyone seems to be a bit more respectful of other people's personal space these days, but in and around the pub the situation was definitely more relaxed than I'd expected.
Meanwhile, the buses out of the city centre are definitely getting busier. Twice this week my bus home has been almost bang on the new capacity, which in effect is half full. Compare that to a couple of weeks ago, when it was a surprise if there were more than four or five people onboard. Masks are supposed to be mandatory, but that's not being enforced. The majority are wearing them, but some aren't including a few of the drivers.

In my line of work we've been asked to "soft isolate" - to avoid being inside pubs and restaurants and general indoor gatherings if at all possible for the duration of the job (5 weeks). It's not mandatory but a request with the view of trying to avoid it getting shut down. I wonder if any other industries are asking similar

When I worked in our Cardiff office last week I was asked to bring in my lunch and avoid leaving the office unless it was really necessary.* It seems odd that they only requested this when you arrive at the office and not in the documentation they sent out ahead of time on returning to work, but it is a step to help I guess. In the London office there is no similar request.
* As is evident from this thread, I deemed going out to check on the status of the outdoor-parasol-road thing a necessity.
