    can't be doing with pies, Pukka or not.  Leigh White will be on in a bit to tell us how, back in 1989, he got the train there - down the Ivanhoe line - and ended up with a banning order from  Puk

If there’s no spike in cases after this weekend, the virus has definitely lost its edge.

Struggle to disagree with that.

Had another propaganda video off virgin gym today showing the measures theyve taken to safeguard people. If theres no big jump in numbers after today then theres surely no reason to keep them closed

That's the shot the "Super Saturday" media have been praying for.

Spoof or parody rather than fake.

Some decent bikes there 😁

Did all my greene king gaffs yesterday ready for opening Monday.

It doesn’t look as militant as I first thought, with most of em still having vaults/drinkers areas with one cash till with screens at that particular till. 

They are keeping the food bookings only, and drinkers have to go in designated areas. However if there’s no tables, you’ll have to go outside. It’ll work well in places with separate vaults. The Golden eagle my dad and brothers local is pretty much to to landladies discrretion who gets in.

My local is an M&B gaff and they’ve kept the vaults area shut. There’s only 11 tables in the rest of the pub and they’re all booked up this weekend. 

This is where it’s wrong for me, there’s too much open to interpretation. 

Still says it’s all a load of complete bollocks and waste of time, money and effort. 

So anymore feedback from yesterday’s re openings

@Steejay didn’t you go out?

Nice one, how many times you buzz for a piss😀

going for a steak later but won’t be any difference in the set up for that 

Sounded busy but nothing too crazy in Nottingham. Although a bloke did jump fully clothed into the filthy canal to celebrate Forest beating Derby, he left the pub on 95 mins 😆

Should be barred 

Went to the Tap in Astley Bridge. Signing in on entry and three well overworked barmen trying to do table service.

Went to the Lord Clyde after and that was more relaxed but it's a bigger pub. Still signed in mind. 

Both were about as busy as I'd usually expect them to be on a Saturday.

Hope you wiped your feet on the way out of the Clyde? 😊

It all got a bit emotional apparently at the local sports club. Folk in at noon in a halfway decent state* were worse the wear a few hours later. Arguments over tv volume, tv channel,  not being able to touch the tv etc etc. They mostly kept the social distancing rules that were in place till they decided wanted to take each others heads off. 

 

*think some places may have opened earlier?
