Not sure how easy it will be for independent pubs to implement, also with the cost as well. Also everyone going to the pub will need to leave contact details to help with the NHS track and trace. So how many Boris Johnsons and Donald Trumps amongst others will we soon be drinking in our local? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just unworkable IMO. All that tells you is who has been in the pub & there's no knowing if the infected person actually came into close enough proximity to anyone else there to pass it on . I could go and sit in a beer garden, feet away from anyone else and then get a phone call telling me to stay in the house for 14 days. Great. This is why we needed an App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Carry on guys. I'll choose my moment when I venture out to the pub - probably about 11:30 am on a Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The landlord of our local is dreading it - thinks it will be impossible to police "you can have all the social distancing limits you want, but if you isolate people for 3 months and then open the pubs - they will all come have a drink and be sensible. Then they'll have another drink and still be sensible. Then they'll have a 3rd drink because "this is nice isn't it?"Then I guarantee that they will start hugging each other" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Will they be opening early on the 4th, seeing as it's a lunchtime ko v The Dogs? We need to be settled in by 8am at the latest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kevin Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Duck it I'll take my chance ,to be fair it's impossible to social distance under current rules in supermarkets etc ,They can put arrows on the floor till the cows come home, even if people follow them they stop browsing and you have to over take them in close proximity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over taking someone in a supermarket is much less of a risk than being close to lots of people talking loudly whilst drinking. Lots of salvia flying about.

Got to admit my previous problems with stress and anxiety are surfacing, half the team are furloughed and I am struggling to cope with the extra workload because of this, many a sleepless night has been had of late. I can't even imagine celebrating if I keep my job as I am close with all my colleagues, what a poo time. Good news on this, I have been told I am 'provisionally' now no longer part of the process. Its provisional because if those selected successfully challenge the reasons then I could be brought back into it, but I think thats more just procedure so would be surprised (though not totally ruling it out) if anything changes.

They have a big beer garden plus a decent sized car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local seems to be surviving OK just on doing take outs on a weekend - I don't think they will risk opening up permanently if they don't think it's safe to do so. The guidelines are bound to be vague and put all the onus on the pubs to interpret them as they see fit. That seems to be the tactic with everything.

"This is what we want you to work round, you sort out how your individual business can do it". Every pub / business is different, surely the government can't be expected to instruct every individual business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is what happens in a liberal society. We will almost certainly get a second wave. Given how we’ve seen people behave, short of draconian police measures you have to rely of the majority of sensible people to offset the damage caused by the idiots but that in itself is amelioration rather than a guaranteed fix.
