They sound like fun places to visit :cool:

Pen and paper is still working well, and you can even forget your last digit ;)

I'm not sure if the situation in tourist hotspots has been picked up here yet but I foresee big problems with labour shortages this summer in hospitality:

-EUers will have left due to Brexit and...

Popping out Friday as on a half day. My usual favourite in Stockton has put a huge covering over all seats - so a pleasant day at 11C in strong sunshine would instead be chilly.

So it'll probably...

This time there are more written records. Dispersed written records ;) So big pay rises for NHS for the foreseeable?

(Hillsborough is only my second football memory, as I recall it being reported...

They ought to have known the consequences and it shows a callous disregard. Similar happened in places with appalling fatality rates, northern Italy, New York, Sweden.

The other callousness is the...

I've not got a link to the stats to hand, but the prevalence is somewhere around one in 5000. That's so low as to be likely all false positives.

There is also no evidence that asymptomatic people...

The supposed uptick in 'cases' is just due to more random testing and the vast majority have no symptoms.

What IS serious is having a National Covid Service for six months rather than a National...

if you want the pandemic to end don’t get a test.

I wonder if it was their competitors that called.

The Dubliners next to Thornaby station looks dormant. No signs up saying when they are reopening, nothing on social media, and a window in need of repair.

I suspect it's going to be like Boxing...

I think there should be recommendations issued on this. I've long not enjoyed indoor arena gigs due to the poor air quality, and had many a battle with HR minions over this sort of thing!

Just to...

Sounds like it's the bigger chains leading the way from social media feeds. Perhaps micros aren't sure of stock availability or how strict police will be.

Back to cash it is then!

Not that the risk bothers me now, but I wonder for those still concerned which is the lesser risk:

1) a small micropub with eight people in, but where you are quite...

There will not be any second wave once it has passed through a place.

Judging by the condition of most health workers on TV, I wouldn't really take much advice off them anyway!

Idea for pubs reopening. Before 4pm weekdays no under 60s. 4pm to 8pm weekdays all allowed but over 60s strongly advised against. After 8pm no over-60s.

Weekends before 4pm all allowed but over...

Took this on a walk nearby...

Roughly ten minutes walk from the Dubliners.

I expect impromptu beer gardens will pop up once it's hitting 20C with regularity, now everyone is building a decent stockpile. I've got my spot sorted for Friday afternoon overlooking Roseberry...

Ability to take drinks anywhere in sight of the pub so people spread out... Or table service only. Will the majority want to go back to how we were anyway, I doubt it. Open borders and everyone...
