If the temperature picks up, I might ride out and have a pint on Saturday lunchtime.

But I'm concerned it will be full of arrogant twunts bleating about the lemmings who couldn't wait 5 days.

sadder than that I saw some on the news who had headed out after dawn to their first pub in ages and were drinking orange juice.
I've never really bought in to this "you can't have beer until lunchtime". It's beer I'll drink it when I feel like a beer. And although I struggle with my limits I tend to know my speed so I don't join the Wetherspoons 9am brigade cos I'd be p****d by lunchtime :smile:

they open at 8 in normal times.
Some even serve beer at this time I think - some of the ones that are also hotels. I plead guilty on one tour to once having two breakfasts in different ones - one at first opening, the other for lunch/dinner. All washed down with fine beer.

That looks sensible and safe. No problem with that at all.
The scenes in Soho last night do worry me a bit. Where it looked like all bets were off.
agree - was like that before I think - if some of the folks there have come by bus they will have been on limited capacity buses, advised to keep their distance etc, then crammed themselves up against countless others.
 
That's why I finished my post with a winky smiley. When I judge you, I will end my comments with " ... you selfish <rude word>, don't you know 127 thousand people have died because of people like you?"

Clear enough??
I wouldn't give a T**s either way though, if the rules aren't to your liking then take it up with the rule makers.

I shall probably be giving it a miss until
a) the weather warms up
b) the novelty wears off and you don’t have to book anymore
We too will let the sheep go out and graze.
IFF the virus doesn't run riot and after we've had our second jabs, AND three more weeks have passed, then maybe we'll risk it. We've been shielding since 15/03/20 so another few months is OK.
As for those booking seats, or queuing at Matalan.......:banghead::banghead::banghead:
They have our thanks for acting as crash test dummies.

Not that it matters much to me but I'm intrigued, why are people who want to go out and socialise for the first time in Months 'Sheep' in your eyes and people who book a seat looked on equally unfavourable (don't really know what that imogie means).

Would those same people be Sheep before the Virus I wonder when visiting the very same Pubs?

I like to see other people's opinions and their reasons behind them, I too have opinion's on people's actions but refrain from being so self righteous.

It's a reference to the Anti-vaxxers who often refer to those who obey the rules and take the vaccine as sheeple.
I'm perfectly happy to let people go to the pub. But in the words of JVT, the virus is still out there and still dangerous.
It doesn't strike me as particularly prudent to 'be the first' to try out the pub,
Matalan and other shops, particularly as the crowds make it difficult to stay at a 'safe' distance.
