[Drinking] 10PM pub closing. what will people do ?

[Pierre the Painter]

New Year's Eve cancelled then.

When all pubs used to close at 10:30pm then 11pm every night, it just meant more power drinking as the shutters down deadline got closer.

Followed by everyone pouring into the streets at exactly the same time .
Your right and it seems counter productive to what the government wants to achieve in terms of minimizing transmission.

I was talking to my mate earlier, he lives in Oakwood, he said the pubs in the city are absolutely heaving when the Leeds games are on.

And that's the problem, lack of enforcement. Chief Constables have been blabbing on about engage, educate and encourage when in actual fact they should just go in and issue fines. There was that woman that had 200 at her party and got fined and banned from having visitors. Well why weren't 200 fines issued to the others? Same with the raves that have gone on. As for pubs, the police should be sending in plain clothes officers and if the rules aren't being followed, temporarily remove the licence. Oh, and fine Cummings he lying scumbag.

But the pubs shouldn't be full because they can only serve those at tables so it won't be the same as when pubs used to close early.

On the contrary. The Basil Fawlty approach could do wonders for Shoreham

Alright Sybil!

As long as my local Tesco Express doesn’t close any earlier that’s all that matters

There'll be nothing left on the shelves. The twats are panic buying again.

Start earlier !

But a lot of pubs I drink in close at 9.30/10 anyway so probably no real change. I've avoided 'town' drinking since COVID

Don't think I've ever heard of a pub closing at 9.30/10?!?

UK wide, earlier in Sept (sorry I noted the numbers but neglected to include the date but it was in w/c 7th) the number listed as in hospital was 757. By the 17th it had risen to 988, 18th 1,020, and on 19th & 20th 1,081. This is an increase of around 43%. On the numbers of individuals on ventilators it rose from 77 to 138 during the same period. That’s about a 79% increase.

We need to spare a thought for those who have to care for those inflicted before rushing off to the pub and complaining that a 10pm cut off is not fair.

Thanks salty dog this is a good point you make.
We mustnt forget that at the end of the day if this all kicks off again then it's our doctors and nurses that will be the tip of the spear that have to place themselves in harm's way and so they should be at the forefront of our minds as to how we all conduct ourselves moving forward.thanks for this post it has realigned my attitude and thoughts on the issue.cheers(no pun intended)

...........and people are still wandering round Asda, Tesco, etc. without masks (with even more stupid tw@ts 'wearing' masks under their chin). Time it was an enforced case of no mask, no entry, no exception (except if you've got no ears to hang it on).
If you really can't wear a mask, then same rules as for people in quarantine (or people shielding); get someone else to do your shopping or have it delivered.

100% this.

Foghorn closed at 9 when it first started up and doesn't go much past 10 on weekdays, and only afternoons on Sunday. Must be just round the corner from you? A lot of micro pubs aren't late night.

Yep Brooksteed in Worthing only has a licence to 10pm anyway iirc

I'm only losing 9hrs trade a week, so not too bad.
I'm going to have the same numbers in as I've been getting since re-opening. The talk of trouble on the streets at closing is poppycock imo.

Yeah, you're right actually. I'm never really in pubs during the week so didn't think about weekdays /Sundays
