Would the majority here be that bothered if a pub with garden were to open, presumably just for table service or somesuch? Good for the business to start slowly selling again but, unlike some of my friends who head directly outside on a decent day, I've never been that keen on pub gardens - I'd rather appreciate the pub itself, indoors.
I may take a look out of interest, but think I would be better off in my own little garden - at least I can use the loo here...
I do appreciate that I'm lucky to have a small outdoor space, so the appeal of a pub garden to those in flats etc could be greater...

[QUOTE=Quinno;109702 Lockdown in Reading is basically over based on my shopping trip this morning - "if Cummings and the Bonking Boffin ignored it, then why should anyone else adhere to it".
Whatever your political colourings, you'd be hard-pressed to find a normal person who would disagree that the management of this crisis over the last few weeks has been shambolic.[/QUOTE]
Yup. Primrose Hill is now like Glastonbury on a sunny day but with more people, louder music and more drugs.
Yes. I used to love beer gardens but can't remember the last time I used one. I don't have a garden (just a view over a 20-space car park) but I've loads of huge parks within a 40-minute walk.
Yup.
Yup. Waiting for the chequered flag!
Queens in Lytham doing take out from tomorrow. Drinks can be taken on to the Green right outside. Pretty much pubs open then, just go dehydrated and/or make sure you are a local.
Large bladders will be a good commodity to have. I remember once getting through five pints before breaking the seal.
A number of bars on Seel St and in the Baltic area (Liverpool) are open but only for outdoor drinking. Sadly all these pubs/bars are fizzpop shite. Still, any port and all that.
