So, I assume everyone here is excited about the draft guidelines? Plenty of progress being made, lots of measures being relaxed too like a 105 min limit not being required if you can maintain social distancing? No requirement to order food?

This is exactly what everyone wanted, right? The safe reopening of the country?

Great news!

I am happy to hear something hopefully now it's delivered.

But just for your own information, all those guidelines are already in place. The only exception is the removal of the substantial meal requirement.

You'll still get people grumbling because it won't instantly be exactly how it was before. We're a nation of moany *****.

The 105 min limit isn't required now if you can maintain 2m distance between tables. No change there.

Only change is no food (thankfully)

A pub around the corner from me starting doing food purely so they could open up a few weeks ago and now this :pac:

100% agreed. I get the impression that there are certain posters here who don't actually want to go to the pub at all. When everyone else is in the pub, drinking delicious pints, and all restrictions are lifted, they'll be here complaining that they can't smoke indoors anymore and that they should be allowed drink directly from the tap if they want to! Somehow blaming the Government for forcing them to drink from pint glasses!

Boom!

And plenty other pubs too. That option has been open to everyone for a long time. Allowed loads of pubs to open.

You're here day in day out talking absolute bollocks that you haven't a clue about. Just give it a rest. People have schooled you multiple times on the thread on how all pubs CANNOT open and yet here you are pushing your nonsense again.

Not sure how what you're saying above is in reply to my post.

I just said the measures allowed loads of pubs to open. I've been to them as have lots of others here.

Was in the pub last night actually. It was great!

Were the pints tasty and delicious.

Yeah and you've been told MULTIPLE MULTIPLE times why 3,500 pubs CANNOT open under the current rules.

It's like arguing with a five year old.

I literally just told you there is currently no time limit in any establishment as it stands now if theres 2m between the tables. Its been like that since hosptiality reopened so not sure why your saying great news its nothing new. You can already stay in an establishment if the tables are more than 2m apart for longer than 105 mins. Read the post.

Only change is no food which yes people wanted.

They are the same guidelines minus food (thankfully)

They were delicious actually. Just as delicious as the ones last weekend! Thanks for asking.

Pubs all over the country have been open for a long time now. If there are others that have not taken advantage of the guidelines and opened, I assume they will now after the guidelines are updated.

This is good news, right?

You have to order food but it comes in a takeaway box, no obligation to eat it

...cocktail umbrellas, should be minimised.

Honestly, how much level of detail is needed to supply, do they think publicans are thick?

See? The new guidelines show great progress in my opinion.

The time limit merely promotes pub crawling, makes a lot of sense when trying to restrict peoples movements.

the amount of people that didnt know this was huge i didnt know myself until recently -people in pubs were thinking the bar man was looking after them giving them more time -all it was was the tables were more than 2 m apart

What are you finding so hard to get your head around??

There's no time restrictions as it stands since day 1 back in June if tables more than 2m apart. If an establishment wants to have them 1m apart then 105 minutes. That's their decision.

Once again its absolutely nothing new.

The only change in these guidelines is the food requirement which everyone knew would go when pubs reopened.

No confusion. When the guidelines are updated, I can go to the pub, no time limit, and not have to order food.

Super! Looking forward to it!

Yup been like that since the initial guidelines back in June but its up to each establishment if they still want to have the 1hr 45mins or not.

More than 2m apart since inital hosptiality industry opening has meant no time limit

for the love of god your argument was at the moment you have a time limit in an establishment.

I'm telling you that you don't if your table is more than 2m apart.

If its 1m apart you have a time limit and you will continue to have a time limit.

Once again you continue to deflect from the initial post and suit it to your way of thinking by quoting only certain parts of the reply.

The only thing that changes for you is no food. Can you comprehend that ?

Its like explaining something to a child

Perfectly allowed as well

It's good news! Why all the hostility? You're getting what you want! Everyone wins!

I'm looking forward to it personally!

Exactly. This has allowed pubs up and down the country to open. Many pubs are doing this exact thing right now.

Yes no food is what people wanted.

Again you completely deflect and ignore the whole time limit which you clearly haven't understood.

Hostility? Its mind numbingly boring seeing you post the same utter nonsense day after day and then deflecting constantly. Multiple posters have called it out.

Time for the ignore list I think. Its tedious

end of the road

all of that is what he said, it's not him with the comprehention issue.
he was referring to the people who are going to establishments who were effected by the time limits, this is very obvious.
he never stated anywhere that time limits applied across the board, but that where time limits do apply they are no more.

That seems like a health and safety nightmare, do they have a staff member wiping down the taps, is there a queueing system? Do you spill more than you save.....
