Pubs



Very unlikely the whole of the North East will be in tier 3. Cases are dropping everywhere which means the R rate is coming down. The numbers are better than prior to lockdown and we were in tier 2 then.

The south of the region is worst hit, with Hartlepool, Redcar and Stockton the hotspots. If anywhere will get put in tier 3 it's there.

Hope you're right marra
 
So from next week, no matter what tier you're in, you can all pile into the town and go into the shops that will be open with potentially thousands of others, yet you can't sit in your local on a Saturday afternoon. Ohh...unless you're having some bait.
f***ing hell man, this government are summat else.

Can certainly understand the frustrations as I'm having them myself.

I love the pub, was going in while they were open, might be unpopular opinion but I felt a lot safer in the pub, sat on my own table than I did when I went in say Primark or or Superdrug when people just push past you with no regard for distancing.

As a society we can only move as slow as our slowest members unfortunately... the vast majority of pubs I visited during this pandemic have adhered flawlessly to the guidelines. They're going to be punished though by the knackers who, once you're in, it's every man for himself and with drink taken means the distancing is less likely. As it's almost impossible to police which ones are doing what then I think it's probably the right decision to keep them closed. The meal crack is probably to allow restaurants and gastro pubs to stay open while the wet ones where let's be honest it's more likely the rules won't be followed remain shut.
 
That decision was made a couple of weeks ago when new cases figures were increasing. The figures now are much more promising.

Trust me the government doesn't want to have to pull out cash and that's exactly what they'll have to do if they put us in tier 3.
Hasn't it been suggested that they are going to be stricter on the tier 3 threshold, hence we could be in it.

I totally agree about feeling safe in a pub. All during the summer when I'd been for weekends away and had a two week holiday in Somerset for example, all the pubs were spot on. Felt safer stopping for a pint than walking through the streets etc. Same goes for my local since 4th July.

The whole of Tyne and Wear will be hovering around the 300 cases per 100,000 by Thursday. This is a significant reduction from a couple of weeks ago.

Previously, some but not all places which had a rate of over 500 cases per 100,000 were in tier 3.

They may drop the threshold to around 400 but I can't see it going lower as they have set the precedent of paying cash to Liverpool and Manchester for putting them in tier 3. They won't want too many places in the highest tier, it's too costly

Fingers crossed, however my glass is currently half empty.

that’s what I’m hoping for but as we’re considerably higher than uk average I fear the worst

Because of my circumstances the reopening of the pubs was a god send - to have then closed especially comming up ti Christmas will be a problem as its somewhere to socialise.
 
Just having a think around Sunderland centre and there's a chance of these being able to open, IF it's tier 2, please feel free to add

Jameson, Yates, Albert, AFK, Rabbit, Victors, 2 Church Lane, Cooper Rose, Chaplins, Gatsbys, Port of Call.
