When will we be able to go to the pub again?

I don't necessarily disagree with your logic, but I do find it incredibly surreal and depressing that we're even discussing this.
I do disagree on principle though and resent the confines and intrusion.
Soon enough we will be legally allowed to spill part of our pint on someone's shoulder as we rub our bodies past shouting excuse me!I don't necessarily disagree with your logic, but I do find it incredibly surreal and depressing that we're even discussing this.

I’ve been to a few places near me that serve food. The main issue has been trying to get it eaten before it gets too cold. I ended up wearing most of my Haddock and chips yesterday ( it was bloody lovely though). I’m currently sat in a beer garden in a pub that’s about a 7 mile hike up hill, but it’s a very nice, very big beer garden, so it’s worth it.

Could you just explain why the guys who are standing are so much more dangerous than the people sitting down alongside them. holes turned up, refusing to sit down, and generally being complete toss pots.I’ll stick around until they get chucked out, I could do with a laugh.
This just demontrates the lunacy of the regulations. Would it be better if they had a scotch egg hanging from their necks?

I don’t think it’s at all dangerous, however, we were all asked to sit down, these idiots decided the rules didn’t apply to them, and kicked off. Fortunately it only took 5 minutes to get them binned, with a nice escalation of seniority from the staff, until the great white chief told them to leave. Rules are rules, I’d love to be able to stand up and mingle, unfortunately that’s not how it is at present.This just demontrates the lunacy of the regulations.

That's cheered me up greatly. I'm sat in a mates house in the middle of Manchester at the moment and I'm shivering it's that cold, he will only put the heating on very low the tight tt. He is expecting that we will go to the pub soon, I have never worn a mask, find do any of that signing in bks and who in their right mind would sit outside a pub in sub zero temperatures. The only place I will be going is back home if I'm not a bit warmer soon

Currently on holiday on the Broads with my 18 year old son. It's fekin freezing with a vicious constant wind howling in from the north east.
I keep thinking I'll come across a nice cosy pub but it's gardens with everyone dressed as if for an ascent of Everest.
I'd rather not get so cold and actually cook on the boat as the gas hob keeps me from falling into a cryogenic sleep.
This is the 4th week holidaying in the UK in a year and a half of Covid.
It's expensive, it's miserable and it's fekin cold.
Lordy I'm feked off.
Thanks for the good rant and the laugh, at your (considerable) expense! I keep thinking I'll come across a nice cosy pub but it's gardens with everyone dressed as if for an ascent of Everest.

I took my good lady wife out for lunch today. Outside, of course.
Last year it was 25C locally. Today, 16C in the sun.
You'll love being back at home, toasty warm.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Finally had a pint outside a pub. 1st this year. Lots of locals all crowded around a metal bin with a fire in it.
No masks and no signing in. Lovely grub and a lovely couple of pints before we had to retire to our boat to get warm.
It's now May and I'm still freezing.
I know I ranted about trips to the west country and the Lakes last year that were all wet and cold, but I do realise that it was still balmy and hot back home in London.
I went out to a restaurant in Leeds last night - first time since last year - October? Salvos for those that know it.
Jesus I was cold, absolutely bloody freezing. Six degrees. I had two coats on and borrowed a big quilted thing to wrap round my legs.
I don’t think these unseasonably cold temperatures are helping at the moment. This time last year I’d already got a mega sun tan.
