As of 6:00pm yesterday, if I follow the rules properly, I can't visit any friends, I can't go for a drink with any friends and I can't go for a meal with any friends. I was already in a position whereby I couldn't go to any gigs or go to the football, and as you rightly say going to the pub or going for a meal didn't feel even remotely close to how it used to, but hey - we can do pretty much anything we would normally do. Allegedly.
