hynesie08 wrote: » Look at England who are leaving 6 weeks between outdoor and indoor? Fantastic we're agreed then.
NIAC Fanboy wrote: » We've already had over a month of outdoor, it's been going on since Easter. Look again at England, how are their cases going after 6 weeks of outdoor? Any red flags being raised? Are they deferring indoor? Answer is no.
You need to accept the era of the covideers is over. The rest of us have moved on, its time for you to do the same.

"hey, our nearest neighbours opened outdoors when they reached a certain % of vaccinations, and left a 6 week gap between outdoor and indoor and that seems to have been safe and successful, maybe we should do the same" "You want to stay locked down forever" Boards logic 101

Ray Donovan wrote: » Because everything we have done has been with an "abundance of caution". Ultra conservative decision making. The pubs will be the same. Do you think Tony wants people at bars waiting for pints? Absolutely no way will the pubs be like 2019 this year. Well the regulations that will be brought in wont allow it. It'll be up to the land landlord to decide.

As well as any lofty social engineering notions of introducing continental-style drinking, "al fresco" my back passage. The traditional pub will rebound, it is deeply embedded in our culture and cannot be eradicated overnight. Encountered my local publican yesterday, he has ploughed his remaining few bob into jazzing up the interior...a simple canopy suffices for temporary beer garden squeeze. It's all systems go in a few weeks time, and by July it will be a case of "Tony who?". Demand very much there, car parks were hotspots for takeaway pints & chatter over the weekend. Punters are itching to embrace a bit of normality again.

Car park is also shared with a pharmacy and centra, but also a kids playground beside it. Thought it was quite pathetic to be honest. Why bother? Not just drink in your own back garden?
