Honestly, I was queuing to get into Asda when a bloke in shorts walks up and asks the high bus’s member of staff what was going on. The high vis looks confused. The prick says “Seriously, what’s with the queue to get in? I’ve been away for two weeks.”

Where to? Fucking Mars?
 
Never mind the pubs, what about the hairdressers? Can you imagine the cat fighting over getting the first bookings and a regular slot for a few months after lifting of restrictions? And some of them won't reopen at all so less choice.
 
Jesus, our local has only just announced he was shutting up yesterday. I've no evidence he was doing lock-ins, but judging by the sarcastic comments on facebook, some seem to think so.
I believe that decision was only because the brewery agreed to buy back any unused beer!

Outside only. In through one door, served at bar and out through another door, no hanging about.

if it’s a no holds barred free for all I’m staying well clear.

I think I won’t be bothering until a month after they’ve all opened again.

Explains your username.
 
At least one pub near me is open via the back door to regulars.

There is a copper in Stoke whose entire working day at the moment is dealing with intel on pubs that are staying open. There’s a few boozers in Birmingham at it too, but in the more challenging areas of the city.

I don’t think the penalties on the new legislation (unlimited fine) are sufficient. Prosecuting under common law offence of public nuisance (maximum sentence, life imprisonment) has been suggested in some quarters, but I’m not convinced of its efficacy. It’s a pretty arcane offence and relatively recent case law holds against deploying it if other offences can be charged.

As to the OP, pubs won’t be the last to be subject to relaxation, that will be events and clubs for 500+ imo, but I reckon it will be July before they can re-open at the earliest.

It’s going to be a very different landscape at the other end. The sector will never be the same again.
