    Our village pubs only ever seem to have the older generation bar a couple of people. I can't imagine they'll be packed come the 4th. I imagine ones in towns/cities with a larger younger population could do rather well especially if they have large beer gardens

    First weekend will be a nightmare all those once a year pub goers will be out like at Christmas taking 10 minutes to order a round drink by drink as they haven’t thought about what to have to drink before they get to the bar (or using an app in the new world). 
    Much as I have missed it will not be rushing on the first weekend. 



    It will be like NYE for the first month with dickheads everywhere. That aside, I cant believe how few people are happy they can see family or friends again... but are just moaning about pubs they have no intention of using. 
    To be honest thanks to zoom have seen more of my family than normal. They won’t want to see me as I will just be reminding them I have won all the zoom quizzes. 
    I will certainly be using the pub just not on the 4th or 5th.

    Yes, it’s table service only and Johnson also mentioned that you will have to register in case the pub is linked to an outbreak. I will definitely be in a beer garden soon, but not the 4th or 5th; pubs will be rammed (or what passes for rammed in this new world!)
    So you could receive a call telling you to self isolate for 14 days?  Not really a great way to enjoy your pint.

    The other option is you get covid and infect an elderly relative just because it was more fun.

    I think there's definitely a risk involved in going to the pub after they re-open, but that said there are risks in all areas of life. I'm looking forward to talking bollocks over a pint with some mates in the near future. I accept there's a risk, but there are risks in everything. Including in staying in all the bloomin' time.

    And for the avoidance of doubt I don't trust any of our political leaders as far as an armless man could throw them.

    Delighted that my son and daughter will be able to visit and stay over.
    Other than that I won't be relaxing my lockdown discipline in any wider social arena any time soon.
    I find it quite depressing wondering when I will ever set foot in the Valley again. Probably long after we have returned to any sort of normal

    I wont be rushing back to the pubs, there are enough arseholes out there who cant deal with 2 metres distancing as it is.....especially in shops!! After having a few bevvies these same arseholes wont know how to keep a metre apart....I guarantee it!! So its a NO from me.....I'll stick to my garden and few glasses of vino (Red of course!!)

    Thank you.  What about more than two households?  

    (You're still not allowed to have more than two households together in a home; what's the rules with regards to restaurants?)

    It’s still a bit confusing but as I understand it at the moment you can meet with people from one other household but there is no requirement for the pub/restaurant to check on this so we have no way of telling how many households are on a table.
    This will sort it self out for a lot of cases as pubs should be distancing their tables out & it will be hard for most to get big tables in with proper distancing , my biggest table now is a 6 & it will not be possible to move tables together as it will mess with the overall distance to other tables & wreck our one way system

    Red Barn’s going to be packed so I’ve started queuing already.

    Everyone's worried the pubs will be packed.

    So, it's fairly safe to say, they probably won't be.

    The fear

    Good to see Cummings has spent the last couple of months usefully, coming up with a moronically opaque crock of shit to appease a few more tory donors while shamelessly confusing the majority which will inevitably lead to utter chaos and infections spikes all over and not helping to save a single remaining viable business.
    He and Boris prove again, if proof were need, what heinous idiotic self-serving shitcnuts they both are.  Nobody with a couple of functioning brain cells will take themselves anywhere near a congested pub, bar, shop, salon of any description until one can protect oneself against infection, with significant certainty.
    Until such time as any substance abuse or vanity problem outweighs my ability to organise my daily life I'll not be changing one iota of the social aspects.  Until then the 23/03/20 strictures remain.  This household won't be embracing a whole new level of risk just cos Cummings tells Boris it's different when patently it isn't.  They don't get the chance to tell me it's raining when I know full well they'll both piss on me and laugh while doing so.
    Anyone catching the virus now is doing so because they have underlying health conditions, are old or are dealing with vast swathes of people with the virus, like in hospitals etc. The average man on the street doesn't have it and isn't catching it from the other average man on the street. I work in a Sainsbury's and have done so for 14 weeks now, and none of me, my colleagues or anyone I have come into contact with have succumbed to the virus in that time, and the majority of our customers are of retirement age. 

    I doubt a couple of pints in a pub and a haircut will change this, and that's the whole point

    I think you will catch it as easily as anyone else it’s just the groups you mentioned not coping as well with it once they have it but we all have the same chance of picking it up

    That sort of thinking is exactly why we are going to see an increase. ANYONE can catch it.

    Massive over reaction from the British public about this. Won’t be anything close to the real pub experience with your mates, it just means you get a draught beer at a table instead of out of a can in your house. More looking forward to restaurants re-opening.

    How many hairy arsed scaffolders who have had 6 pints on a Friday afternoon Who don’t give a shit about social distancing have you dealt with in Sainsbury’s? The majority will go have a beer or two, food maybe and go home. It’s the few that don’t give a sit that worries me

    i want a pint, I’ll go to a pub in Dartford at lunch time on a week day as it will be easy to social distance

    HaHa who are you kidding, they'll be packed. As much as I'd love a few pints I'll be steering well clear but there'll be many that won't. Just a couple of weeks ago I was wearing a mask & some complete twat was walking down the middle of the pavement & obviously didn't intend moving to one side so I stepped in the road & as we passed he snarled "Fucking virus there is no virus you fucking idiot" so I couldn't resist shouting after him "well there's 40000 odd died from something, I hope you're next on the list".
    A couple of days later I was getting off of the DLR & some idiot just stood in front of the doors & I asked him to move to the side & he decided to just get on the train !!! I said to him you obviously haven't you heard of social distancing & he didn't say anything but as the doors closed he bravely shouted "fuck off you cunt" :-:smiley:

    This is what we're up against, I see it all the time when shopping in Lewisham. People ignoring the one way system in supermarkets, ignoring social distancing I've even seen people arguing with security because they've been told to wait as they needed some people to leave first.

    Just look when we were told we could exercise for as long as we wanted recently, Greenwich park was rammed, social distancing went out the door, nobody gave a shit. A couple of weeks previously it had been almost deserted & people were giving each other a wide berth. All very worrying, even face masks on public transport isn't being enforced. Nobody is being fined they're just being advised that they have to wear a face covering.
