So I have to buy a burger to have a pint, and if I have a burger at say 8pm, can I jut keep drinking until 11pm - its not a pint per meal is it?

I wonder if wetherspoons will start doing £1 burger and pizza meals to get folk in and drinking.

This way some places weren’t arsed buy a meal stay all night some you had 2 hours

I'm alright with tier 3 & hope we stay there till xmas.

We all know that there's going to be a free for all & loads ignoring the guidelines at xmas , with a big spike in covid cases afterwards putting huge pressure on the NHS,  so it's better to try & force the R rate as low as possible before the festive bellendery begins.

Exactly. 

Two weeks to stick at it. Every chance of dropping a tier given numbers falling on the 16th.

I'm convinced that the announcement for Dec 16th will see everywhere move up a tier to allow for the Christmas relaxations.

I think that's why so many are in high tiers now.

If numbers drop no way would they get away with increasing a place's tier level.

The capacity of hospitals to cope is one of the contributing factors. Article on local news yesterday iirc, about Blackburn. Hospital there has twice as many covid patients as they had in the first wave. 

Not sustainable, particularly as we approach peak flu season, so understandable that much of North west is tier 3.

In two weeks or so, hopefully numbers in hospital will start to fall as confirmed cases fall now.

Surely they aren’t expecting much of an influx due to Winter Flu? 

So far this year only 300 have died from flu (if numbers are to be believed) vs the normal average of 17,000

I’d imagine the restrictions in place for Covid will also reduce Winter Flu transmission, both here and abroad, I wonder if the Southern Hemisphere Winter Flu was lower this year? That normally comes our way 

Add that to the fact 30m are being vaccinated for it this Winter this year vs the usual 15m and I doubt Hospitals have anything to worry about that way

Makes no difference to me

Pubs are for standing up and supping in so I still wouldn’t bother with this nonsensical eating bollocks.

Lad can play football, shops are open so the only real restriction is socialising, which is irritating but hardly the end of the world.

No-ones asked us to eat a raw pig for breakfast.

Spitfires etc..

I think it was reported a couple of weeks ago that RBH had five Covid wards, up rom two about a month before. I don't know if tgat's still the case but I can't imagine if it has reduced it's reduced by much. It's not difficult to understand why we're still in Tier 3 based on that.

It's not 300 v. 17,000 but, yes, we should probably see a sharp reduction in the number of flu cases

Just catching on the last few pages and...

Blaming Burnham is bollocks. North West was always going to be Tier 3. Liverpool have T2 as a thank you for being he mass test guinea pigs and for the extreme measures they had earlier. They'll be T3 in a fortnight.

Talk of nipping "over borders" for a pint is part of the wider problem. Stick to the rules FFS, you're not exempt because you're close to somewhere that is.
