Well I'll be working a straight couple of weeks I think when we get back but I think I'll be retaxing the Evora and taking a 20 mile long route into work. Probably nip into my mates pub on the way home try and help get them going again. Hopefully we will be able to take a couple of planned holidays in July/August.

The Mrs will be straight round to see her mum it's killing her been away from her folks.

I would imagine all the bikers will be out/coast towns/shopping centres will be rammed. I guess there will be a huge party in every pub/street in the land.

We have a lot to look forward to unless my case probably been a severely overweight functioning alcoholic gets in the way if this goes on much past the 3 weeks biggrin

I would guess there may be some kind of phased reopening by region possibly so one big country wide party might not happen but let's wait and see.

I don't go to our local pub, but my youngest daughter does.
We were talking over dinner last night that it would be good to go there as much as possible when they can reopen.... It's a "one lady band" owns / runs the place single handedly, so to put more money in the till.
Our 2 local restaurants. One is Italian, the other, Chinese. We eat at both a couple of time / month. They've been closed 2 weeks already. They're family owned / run, too.
Give them a helping hand.

I don't think this will be the only lockdown this year to be honest - so I wouldn't go replanning holidays ASAP.

I'll just be happy to collect the car I put a deposit on 2hrs before the lockdown and go from there!

Depends on when release day is. Anyone who thinks it’s mid April will be disappointed. July maybe? We can say we will do this and that but I’m reality we don’t know which businesses will have survived. Support the small ones that do.

Pub. Although I wonder how long it will take the local to get some decent real ale in, bearing in mind the breweries must also be closing?

Our village pub have promised a "humdinger" of a party on their website when they reopen?

The party will be at the pub not on their website.

I am also missing the charity shops, getting low on books to read.

Agree and nor will there be a VE day style "it's all over, go and party" hard end. Expect measures to progressively relax and re-inforce on a country-by-country/region-by-regjon basis for at least another 18 months until either a vaccine is found and produced at scale, the global population acquires herd immunity or the virus mutates into a weaker strain

I don't think we'll see a release day as such. More of a gradual return.

Plan on local pub, curry and a bit of a get together at home.

Looking forward to seeing pals and family.

I can’t see us getting back to ‘normal’ any time this year.
At best, restrictions lifted on contact with non household family for a short while and then back to how we are now. Pattern repeated a few times over the summer to keep infected numbers steady.
Sporting events/festivals/mass gatherings will be out until next year, this things not going away any time soon.

As above I think it will be gradual, with large gatherings being one of the last things to open up. I suspect we'll still be looking at international travel restrictions etc
My plans aren't particularly grand but would involve driving the 90 miles to see my parents who are lockdown as high risk, eating a big Mac (don't eat then that often but ever since they closed I've wanted one), taking my kids to the park and maybe having a bbq with a few friends.

FFS - This thread is for day dreaming and a small amount of hope in a world where we are constantly blasted with bad news.

The miserable b****ds on this thread who whether they are correct on not saying ‘oooh we won’t be going out for the next decade’ can just eff right off to one of the numerous other threads on the subject.

Go on, eff off.

Queue to work again, queue for 3hrs to get my hair cut, not have to queue to get in the Supermarket.
Book a track day to test/enjoy the fruits of my labours if they become available, water all the plants i'm planting, or dependent on when this day is start to eat some of them.
Carry on not having any close contact with anyone to avoid catching this thing until a vaccine is found.
