[Poll] Will you be going to the pub?

[hairynaker]

I fancied a few beers but cannot be arsed with booking tables and that.

 

[Secret Visage]

Yep and looking forward to it.

 

[RedAndWhiteJeff]

Yep, can’t wait.

 

[matt228]

Yes, I have a table booked for a meal in the pub in Broompark. Can't wait to get out.

 

[RedAndWhiteJeff]

Be mad to be heading back to a pub now

[Lefty Frizzell]

Just had a text from Frijj. He has booked a table at Byker Weatherspoons for 1pm on Saturday and is buying the first round of pints of Bombardier first anybody who turns up in a Brexit T-shirt

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Voted for wait a few days as I’m at a bbq on sat anyway. Probs going to go to the local next week

 

[Jap Stammer]

Our local WMC not opening until August 3rd at the earliest.

More trips to Maxim on the cards.

 

[spitfire]

Heading up to the office on Weds for a day. Hoping to get a pint in with a couple of mates in the afternoon.

 

[raindog]

Not been in one for 20 odd years... Ive no reason to start now.

I'll return to pubs, when the pubs I drink in reopen (my two locals aren't opening yet), we can get back to the SOL (pre match drinks), or the wife goes shopping and I can get into the terrible chain pub next to the supermarket (without booking a table/queueing) while the wife shops.

I don't go to pubs just to drink beer, I go because I like the atmosphere (or I like not being in Tesco). The pubs that will open tomorrow will not have any atmosphere, so hold no appeal. When they are as close to "Normal" as possible, I will be back like a flash.

Just heard my cricket club is opening the bar so probably head down there tomorrow. Just a shame we can't get a game on

Madness that football can restart but cricket can't. Shouldnt be too hard to make cricket socially distant surely!

Aye, my lad's training tomorrow - weather permitting - and they've been told the bar is open and the outside tables and parts of the field are available for people to sit and have a pint. Bring your own chairs etc.

 

[cluffy]

Next up they'll be reopening the opium dens and asking people not to get high

The ball is a "natural vector of disease" apparently.

Just ban shining the ball and make players carry hand sanitiser in their pockets to use ever time they touch the ball

 

[Billy Batts]

In all fairness, the economy needs to get going again.

 

[Roker SOL]

I dithered between "wait a few days" and "wait a few weeks". Going in with the knackers on Saturday is just nuts.

I'll probably nip in first time on a weekday when it's quieter and it's possible to keep my distance. Someone did a survey on Facebook and only two out of his friends list siad they were planning to go to the pub in Saturday. Many said the same as me. Many more said not at all for now.

Friends have said they just won't go. They have relatives with pre-existing medical conditions who have been shielding. The Leicester situation and the half million descending on Dorset and to hell with distancing have made them very wary.

mates got a pub , was reading rules and regs from fb page , dear me, sounded like an ordeal rather than a pleasure. dare say lot of them are similar throughout england.
