Potentially risking lives they are.

You would be wasting your time as they don't have to take names. However they do have to put social distancing measures in place.

My local (which I’m in now) takes my name and phone number every time I come. It’s also pretty well Covid set up, decent distancing, table service via an app.
Mine also..
I thought it was government rules that you had to do track and tra e as in name and number.
Worth a call to the council who. An go round and have a word

You could sign the book Rumpelstiltskin if you wanted and stick 999 as your phone number.
There is no legal obligation to give your details.

No mate. The guidelines are worded using "should" not must. Data protection is too much of a minefield, especially after GDPR was introduced.
So you've been in?

They had a piece of paper as you walked into a pub a couple of weeks ago that they wanted your name, address and phone number on.
It was there for anyone to see that walked in.
That cannot possibly be the correct way to do it.

It's optional if you want to leave your details. Under GDPR they can't make you leave details. It's the same as when you sign up for something online you used to have to opt out, now you have to opt in. The sign in book is a token for when the council or the plod turn up.

Doesn't help much with the track and trace, I'd hope someone wouldn't phone the police asking for him.
There is no point to it.
Or did I just choose the wrong fairly tale character perhaps Pinocchio would be more apt.

I'm suggesting you'd have to be a complete moron to give duff info.
Neither GDPR or the Data Protection Act 2018 prevent pubs from collecting customer’s personal data for the purposes of Track and Trace. They do, however, place obligations on pubs as the controllers of that personal data - obligations that pubs should already be familiar with whether from a simple employer perspective or in connection with their marketing activities.
Pubs that have a ‘visitors book’ accessible to all are probably skating on thin ice in terms of Data Protection compliance, but whether any enforcement action would be taken in the current circumstances is uncertain.
The simplest, safest, solution is probably to have a visitor’s book completed by staff (and not accessible by all and sundry) or just have individual slips available to customers to complete their details which the pub then collates.
