I skimmed through the Scottish Government document earlier, which did touch on pubs. Like everything else in it (understandably so at this particular juncture) it was a bit airy fairy and said very little, but does anyone think pubs could be open in, say, a few months? If the thinking is that schools can open with social distancing in mind (seemingly via pupils being part time), then I wonder if pubs / restaurants could open in the first instance in a similar fashion? ( i.e. by restricting numbers allowed in quite heavily) (PS I'm not suggesting pubs should open when the schools open, not am I suggesting pubs are more important than schools) Aye, what could possibly go wrong. People will queue in an orderly fashion for a one in one out system at a pub. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting their 3 boys out with their pals everyday, and they (the parents) been having their pals over in the back garden sat on chairs right next to each other. I’ve been itching to go fishing. That’s a fucking stupid rule, especially if you were to have somewhere to fish 5 minutes from home. I've cleaned my lines a few times, tied some flies and ordered some new materials today. Had planned on going up to the Uists and benbecula for a few weeks in late may, not happening now. Up there was just made for fishing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage, the slightest hint of a specific date for lockdown ending will see it flouted all over the place. For now, it's about managing expectations and keeping as many people indoors for the immediate future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could restart the football on Saturday. Second last game of the season. Just in time! 30 minutes ago, Snafu said: Having mayonnaise with chips shows you are open to ideas and not set in your ways, unlike these ketchup only types. Don't have chips that often but when I do I use a rotational process in choosing which condiment I use, Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Jerk BBQ sauce is a top choice. The correct answer is 'no sauce'. A dash of salt perhaps, but that's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the trouble for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Got nothing to do with me addressing the fact Oaksoft is talking shite yet again. You can bet your boots if everyone on the dole was a net benefit to a Tory government that's exactly what they'd do. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Pie and Bovril mobile app I thought oaksoft's post was fairly balanced. The chancellor had other options and didn't pick the worst, in terms of impact on ordinary folk.Madwullie is off course right, in that they are working on self interest. But let's not pretend politicians of other colours do any different. Politicians do things that are going to be popular with voters. Some more than others, granted, but still.I despise tory ideology but some folk let their hated colour everything they post about politics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JTS98 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 That's Malaysia added another two weeks to the lockdown. In the hoose until at least May 12th now. That'll be us at 8 weeks at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
