Are you worried yet.

Pubs and drinkers are getting around these rules by providing a plate of chips with drinks.
And as long as there are a few chips left on the plate they can keep drinking.

No rules broken.

That's me f*d then , no way can I make a plate of chips last longer than a pint

We’ve just been out for dinner, our “slot” was 6:00-7:30, so how people are getting away with what GC said beggars belief.. we’re fed and watered, had a bit of social interaction “ in same room as other people” and feel all the better for it. I’m not a sociable person and even I’m missing being round other people, a little bit..

GC?

FWIW I'm probably the second or third most insular person I know. Even I would like to be able to smell and see other people at this point

A lot of the landlords are actually advising the customers to leave some food on their plates. That way they can legally continue serving drinks, and make some money. Can’t really blame them can you.

Can only assume that is in establishments that don’t really do food as a puller..we were time limited to 1.5 hours...was a quick £90.... happy hour specials too....

You are correct, a lot of pubs are wet pubs, rely on locals having a few pints, so every pint sold could probably make all the difference. In those pubs, as soon as you finish your meal you have to leave, the landlord can not sell you another drink.

Smell other people?

Yes. Pheromones. Gonna have an effect

Totally can't. Especially when the rules seem stupid. They might not be, but without an explanation of the whys it's a bit of a stab in the dark IMHO

Saw them, smelled them, ate them. Stringy, but what d'you expect post lockdown.

We've also had dinner out. Strange, yet bloody great.

Vaccines Fight Covid, But Can They Stop the Spread?

Trials that show vaccines prevent Covid-19 symptoms haven’t established whether they also prevent transmission of the virus. That’s a problem.
