[Misc] How will you celebrate when social restrictions are lifted?

[swindonseagull]

You must have been there a different time to me, one pub serving tinned beer, and the locals were already pissed of with servicemen.

4 month 1990....RAF each section had its own bar.....Friday nights were brill....buses used to drive us from bar to bar!!.

Then 1991 - 2008 I was Tristar crew...so been to the Falklands more times than I want to remember.

 

[RossyG]

I’ll go to the pub and have a ****ing good piss up.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Depends on the season. An outdoor pub lunch would be nice in decent weather.

In reality, I don’t the end of lockdown will be a single moment, but restrictions eased in stages. Culminating in Amex football in August 2022.

Ouch

6 months, off shore patrol, 84/85. We only got one afternoon ashore every fortnight, most of which was spent queuing for the one phone we were allowed to use.
Possibly the worst six months of my life.

Oh well.......should have joined the RAF!!

I will have a quiet night in.
Then when the nobheads have all gone away I will go to a very good restaurant and enjoy the best they have to offer with a great bottle of wine, then to a pub with live music.

Think I'll absolutely hammer..........

your mum.

On the basis that the wait for pubs and football is too long ( 2021 at the earliest ) I will aim for a medium term target, social distancing permitting.. A drive to a fairly quiet part of the coastline and a walk (with my partner ) breathing in that glorious sea air and enjoying the fabulous blue sky before vehicles and factories pollute it again. ( I live 55 miles inland, so not as fortunate as some of you coastal inhabiting types )

Seaside walk with family and a nice pub lunch. Fancy the Queen's Head at Icklesham - fab food and beer selection.

Lots saying similar, but surely any pubs that haven't gone out of business will be short staffed, with no beer, food etc, initially at least.

 

[Boroseagull]

Going for a walk, something we have not been able to do for the past 6 weeks plus. Saying this as Spain may lift the restrictions for adults to allow walking within an area of 1km from your house. For us it means being able to walk up to the woods and carry on up the mountains birding again - oh how I miss it.

 

[Official Old Man]

It will be the closest hugs ever with
Daughters - one is a locked in carer
Mum - 86 yo
Best mate & his Wife - mid 70's
East Upper friends - many over 65
So far we are all well but phone calls aren't the same and when we went into lockdown I didn't expect us all to come through it.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Def won’t go to pub on first weekend of it lifting though. All the amateurs will be out, like New Years Eve. Friends house for garden drinks to start with.

Also lifting of lock down phase FOUR will be going to the pub, I'd plan around Oct / Nov.

 

[Frutos]

Arrange a trip home to see my family.

Skype and phone calls are great in their way, but it's not the same. I haven't seen them since Christmas, and I have a lot of relatives in the vulnerable age group - thankfully they are all fine so far.

My partner lost his father a few weeks ago, his family live in Chesterfield so he hasn't been able to see them in person since. Today we'll be watching a live stream of his Dad's funeral. I'd imagine he'll want to see them at the earliest possible second.

 

[Marshy]

Just a big hug will do to be honest, I haven't even touched anyone in 6 weeks :-(

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Nothing. I have a fear that Johnson and co will bow to public pressure and lift the restrictions earlier than is 100% safe to do so, leading the way to a potential second peak in cases.

Certainly won't be heading to a crowded pub anytime soon after the announcement...

 

[Nitram]

I can’t think that far ahead to the end of 2021.

 

[blue-shifted]

In my mind, the day when lockdown ends, will something akin to VE day. There'll be some sort of mass street celebration, probably early June this year, people playing music, dancing, smiling and hugging one another, there'll be fresh faced maidens in pretty frilly skirts rejoicing in their new found freedom .......

..... then that daydream kind of ends .... and the dull reality of what the end of lockdown probably will look like and when it will be takes back over.
