[LamieRobertson]

Of course you were Lamie. i reckon you anticipated said annoucement and were banging on your local's door at opening time

Lol....7ish this evening ...the ten trolleys I loaded first are off camera

I've been going to the Cricketers in Southwick of late when the weathers nice, for a couple of cheeky lunchtime bevvies. They've got it very well organised there with social distancing and excellent swift table service when you use the Greene King app. The 10pm thing doesn't overly bother me, as I've not been in pubs at that sort of time in the evening since pre-lockdown (EXCEPT for the Chelsea game the other night, as someone had booked a table and invited me along). I'll probably go there for the Man U game Saturday lunchtime, then go home for the afternoon games. So closing at 10 will have zero impact on me, but I do feel very sorry for the staff who are going to be losing quite a few hours pay as a result.

Mental. I expect there are some people who still have a garage full from March!

More than likely

Interesting test for the new pub rules coming up on monday: Liverpool v Arsenal is currently down as a 20:15 kick off

I suppose we might need to repopulate in a decade or so. But at present that would be totally irresponsible.

As Boris Johnson said "Bbbblnmmn go to work!, bbblbbb don't go to work. HAVE sex! Don't have sex.. bbbbllmmm."

The message is CLEAR.

Apart from the staff losing out, I could not give a toss what time they shut.

I just realised there was a POLE. Where is the option for DRINK more?! Because wine is cheaper if you don't buy it from the PUB.

I'm not voting on principle.

Have only been to a pub once since lockdown restrictions were eased I have no intention visiting another one until this is all over

I know you might not have meant it, but that post would have been greatly improved by the "flounce" emoji.

I like that we all thought it was brilliant how Lucas summed up one Johnson speech so succinctly, and then it turned out it was about ten speeches. Or actually, every speech the **** has ever made.

We may know each other. I will be there Saturday for the game, I will look out for anyone that looks easy! [emoji4][emoji3]

Talk to their friends while sober? Chilling thought.

I'm going to mince along today and book a table for the game on Satdee. I like that one in the corner under the telly, but some shyster ALWAYS seems to have that one booked already

Harrumph.

I only drink when I'm on my days off and if we are going on a session we all start about 3pm anyway. The chances of us still being in a pub at 10pm these days other than on special occasions is not high. It's either off for a curry or home. We are all well past the first flush of youth.

Having said that I think I'll be staying out of pubs for a while. I hate table service in pubs.

Really ? I've grown to really like it. 1/4 of the pint remaining, ask what everyone's having, get on the app for 30 secs, and have some saucy MINX come over with the beverages just as you're finishing the last one. No queuing, no wet elbows from the bar, no desperately trying to make eye contact to get served. Just sit back, carry on watching the game, and wait to be serviced.

I hope this never ends.
