How do you know it's like that if you haven't been in a restaurant or pub since they reopened?

Just asking as I haven't been in any myself so have no idea if what you're saying is right or wrong.

Walked past a fair few and the amount of signage etc. is ridiculous. Arrows all over, yellow and black warning lines ... I won’t be bothering venturing into them. I begrudge the way the government are lifting restrictions too, I personally find it bizarre that people can still fly to virus ravaged areas and not have to go into self isolation when they return and yet kids education is going down the toilet. Sunak can stick his discount where the sun don’t shine.

Been to the pub for one today, had some track and trace thing on way in, apart from that it was ok

So if one person in that pub gets the virus, you’ll all get a phone call to self isolate ? Another reason not to go for me, I’ve already had it, sick of playing the game now.

Yeah for me it’s more a point of principle and cutting my nose off to spite my face, and whilst I’m 95% sure my job is safe I’m taking nothing for granted and saving on a scale never witnessed before. Economic recovery depends on consumer confidence, that’s in short supply at the money.

I have asked a couple of genuine questions on this thread and responded to any replies where appropriate.

I haven't tried to close the whole thread down by throwing in a random 'one liner' as you have.

Some more genuine questions - Do you actively dislike the rest of the human race and despise any opinion that doesn't match your own? Or is that just the persona you adopt for the 'benefit' of this board?

I really get this bit. I am a single Mam to a 20 year old disabled daughter who has been off college since lockdown started, she won't be going back til September at the earliest. We have been stuck in the house for months already and because I don't drive and she won't go on buses (she has really bad anxiety about little kids/babies getting on and making a noise which she hates) we can't go anywhere even though things are opening. We live in Hylton Castle so there is nowhere to even take her for walks in her wheelchair unless we just walk round the streets which is really boring and we have already done so may times. My 11 year old lad has autism and finishes school next Friday, he has social anxiety and hates going out so have no chance of getting anywhere during the six weeks holidays. It's really hard being a single parent to 2 kids with disabilities at the best of times (their Dad hasn't even rang once since lockdown started to see how they are 🤬) but it's been just awful during this pandemic.
On top of all this one of my good friends who was always a massive support fell out with me a few weeks back for the most stupid reason and now won't have anything to do with me. I tried to sort things out with her but she wouldn't even let me phone her to talk. This has affected me so bad, I was already struggling mentally with the pandemic and being stuck at home all the time but this has just sent me over the edge. I am spending every day in tears, I just can't come to terms with her being out of our life. We went out with her all over (before the pandemic) as she had her car and had a holiday booked with her which was obviously cancelled, now we are back to not being able to go anywhere again.
What makes it worse is she was my daughters teacher at her special needs school and her and my daughter adored each other. When my daughter left school last year she stayed in touch and she became a really big part of our lives. Now she is gone from our lives and my daughter no longer see's her. It breaks my heart as she loved her so much and she doesn't understand why she doesn't come to see her anymore. It's such a crap time and I can't wait til she can go back to college in September so I can actually leave the house again.

why dont you explain the reason for the falling out on here -- maybe the good old SMB can come up with a few suggestions on how to retrieve the situatiom ? i understand if you dont want too though.
Ps i know what you mean about nowhere to walk as well- i sometimes walk down the dene ( cut through past the castle/park ) but you are very restricted for wheelchair access around here
 
I've been back at work full time for six weeks. There are a few differences such as no whole school gatherings, half class sizes and not much of a curriculum being taught, but other than that it's not much different to normal.

I respect all opinions, throw one in response to mine and I'll respond. You are studiously avoiding that.
