They'll revert to the tier system, so some places will have pubs and others won't. May does seem quite a long way off, perhaps April /Easter is more plausible.
If furlough payments end at the end of April it would sound about right for many businesses to start trying to get going in May.
May sounds about right to me. Why would most businesses not take advantage of financial support until then if offered?
It depends on the age profile of his customers, us 65 + ers will be the target for most pubs by the end of Feb or Mar................he says hopefully
so we'll have to show ID that we're over 65 and had the jab ? World's gon crazy !
Sorry for your position it cant be easy , i`m no expert but to be told not to worry because it feels benign is extremely rare . If you have been told it feels benign , that is almost a guarantee . They never stick their necks out with such things .It's shit for everyone but today's been an emotionally draining one for me. Had a blood test early this morning and then was given a thorough examination externally this afternoon for a tender lump I've been worried about near my spine since Christmas. I was given the best and kindest treatment possible at Northlands Wood at a time when the NHS is at bursting point. I hope to find out my results possibly by Friday. I stayed strong although it's all caught up with me now. I was told not to worry as it felt benign and almost certainly a cyst.
So I do feel for a random pub landlord but general serious health problems have had to be put on hold. I'm gutted for patients waiting for delayed chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other urgent treatment. God, I could cry my eyes out for them.
I refer you to my P.S. of the post. To elaborate further and to try and answer some of your queries (interrogation?). The pub is a managed house owned by Wadworths, has a restaurant, is in Southern England, the landlord/manager owns two French Bulldogs, I drink Guinness and 6X and other guest ales there, they observed all the rules and regulations scrupulously when when we were in Tier 1 and 2. Any questions regarding the brewery’s stance in this pandemic he has passed on to customers. I’m afraid don’t know his star sign. Anything else? Oh, by the way, it wasn’t his opinion he gave it happened to be information that he’d been given by his brewery. As you well know in these troubling times that info. could change in a heartbeat.
Well this happened on Blue Monday and it was pissing down with rain, but I feel better now.
I mean.. "sounds about right"... who knows really? No one. If there's just three deaths per day in early March, surely the pubs will open in late March. Conversely, if there is 10 000 deaths a day in May, surely the pubs wont open in May.
No one (most likely) know the future timeline of this, there may be negative or positive surprises along the road.
In my little part of the West country we are looking at May , ketchup comes from people in local council arena . Unless tier system is brought back into play , in which case flick a coin .
I'm sure I read or heard recently that once the national lockdown ends everyone goes straight into tier 4.
Kingfisher pub in Eastbourne open most of the time recently. Until the rozzers found a punter hiding in the toilet!
