Just been reading an article about how pubs are planning to tackle re opening in these Covid 19 times. I have to say it doesn’t inspire any hankering to rush back.
Greene King pubs will use a one in, one out green light for anyone needing to take a leak. Customers are being advised to pre-book a table and not stand at the bar, perspex screens will be erected to create barriers between tables and between drinkers and bar staff.
A ā€œpub hostā€ will welcome people at the entrance and show them to tables, and keep physically distanced queues in order, while signage will be used to direct people to routes around the pub that minimize contact. Customers to pay using its app and to use hand sanitizers positioned around the pub.A designated ā€œpub safe monitorā€, wearing a special uniform , will be tasked with ensuring compliance and dealing with any safety concerns. The company insists it will retain the ā€œvery essence of the great British pubā€. Are they serious!
JD Wetherspoon will have protective screens between tables and staff wearing goggles, masks and gloves. Customers will also pay using the app. I look forward with interest to see how this plays out at my local, especially about 11 pm when everybody has half a dozen pints down them. It will be fucking mayhem.

Speakeasy. A term for the past and future. A lot of people have built bars during lockdown, and beer is at least five times cheaper.

Don’t expect pubs to come back absent major change.

Oh i expect changes all right, but i shan’t be rushing back if i have to put up with all that nonsense. Drunken scousers trying to negotiate routes around the pub that minimize contact, doing the hokey cokey outside the bogs, half a dozen of them breaking their necks at the same time. A shame too, i have been really looking forward to getting back up the pub, i think i’m becoming an alcoholic stuck at home.

You can come round to ours and enjoy the corner garden couch.

I’ll probably steer you clear of the COVID couch, though.

I’ve lost count of the times during this lockdown where I realised that for yet another reason, I gave it up just in time. :astonished: Christ only knows what I’d be putting away now.

Busy morning. Bonking, bathing and bunging the beer cans out of my garage.

Can’t lockdown a dog and her owner…business as usual…

Beer. Beer Beer.

Lots of debate about who singletons should ā€œbubbleā€ with

Surely the answer is whoever is most likely to put out

Good idea. We could formulate a table of those attributes and rate people online, with their score visible to other users.

Maybe call it Slags Reunited? :thinking:
