Burndens Bogs Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Will you be knocking on the door next Saturday lunch, or giving it a miss till things calm down? Like someone said in another thread, bellendery will probably be rife on Saturday . I might give it a swerve till all the NYE types have fucked off. Going through the pubs app to book a slot for a shite doesn't really appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Booked in a few places for an afternoon session the following Friday in Notts city centre but we only really wanted to stay local if going out on the 4th as towns all over the country will probably be daft. Waiting on the brewery that runs the local announcing their plans for booking/app tomorrow but looks like we'll have to be quick on the draw if some of the other places are anything to go by...

gonzo Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 There won’t be any room for bellendery I don’t think. The set of rules each pub has to adhere to will prettt much snuff that out. Queuing outside, table bookings only, order via app and cashless if possible. There’ll be no free for all. No standing at the bar and greeted with a host. Personally if it’s not right, I’m not bothering, I’m not desperate enough for a pint to stand in a distanced queue outside and piss about being shown to a table and waited on. Greene king rang me last week and told me the pubs we clean need to be ready by the 6th. They’ve delayed opening till after the weekend. Here’s how they’re expecting to work.

Site Supporter Spider Posted June 28, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2020 It all sounds a bit shit. Part of me thinks we should all get back sharpish to support our locals. But, it all sounds a bit shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that looks a fucking soulless experience. My local boozer is opening (No kids and no food for the first couple of weeks) and doesn't have too many folk living close by, so i might just dip my toe in the water in there next Saturday afternoon for a couple + see how it goes. Regroup with the lads in a couple of weeks for a more powerful session. Edited June 28, 2020 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted June 28, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2020 I really really really really really really really want a proper pint though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogs Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The sort of pubs that serve food may have a chance of making it work, more compliant and willing customers, but IMO, boozers less so. The sort of pubs where people go to get good and drunk will be fucking hard work and over run with folk either forgetting or just not giving a shit about the situation within about 4 pints I reckon. For that reason I'll be leaving it for a bit of yet, and I'm also someone who visits the pub pretty much everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The withins is pretty much booked up already. The list of requirements is bonkers. I know a few bars in Blackpool that aren’t bothering at all. They’ll lose money. Makes my shit itch. Complete waste of time and money all this. If you can stand at a counter in a sandwich shop or have a gang bang on the beach, surely you can stand at a bar, order a pint and take it to your bloody table.

Give it a week and all will be back to normal like the shops, Pubs need revenue to survive, that means they need their regulars back on a regular basis.

bolton va va Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Under the regulations, can you bum a barmaid over the pool table, can you even have a game of pool, if you go for a pint on your own do you have to take up a table while there are people waiting outside, how can you glass somebody who is socially distanced, & i'm not booking or queueing up to go in a pub anyway,...i still remember millenium NYE when some landlords tried to cash in & charge people to go into their pubs. It all sounds a bit shit & i'll be keeping well clear but it's probably sensible to try & break it in gently. On the news this morning, they said that the bars in Florida & Texas had had to be shut again after a big spike in infections, but I don't think they'd had any restrictions.
