How to manage pubs opening again.

[kevin horlocks wand]

A lot of pubs will be fucked after this, customers will realise how much cheaper it is to drink at home etc, and also the fear aspect of catching the virus.

alcoholics will yeah, those who like to go the pub and meet their mates for a catch up and a few beers might prefer to get away from the mrs and socialise for a few hours. I can’t wait. Mrs driving me bonkers !!!

I would suggest that we need the Hairdressing Salons, Nail Bars , Waxing Salons to open the day before




It's starting to look pretty ugly out there.

I will definitely be boycotting them. Really hope social media could play a part in people to do the same - unfortunately the lure of a £2 pint is a tough ask to avoid for many.

Bingo, Bango and indeed Bongo. You've hit the nail on the head there.

Spoons make more money from food than they do alcohol which is amazing given that it’s all pre-prepared and heated in a microwave oven.

Joseph Holts’ are the chain to use.

100% correct some people still don't get it, even now.
It will be sometime even after an effective Vaccine is used that life returns to any normality. With most Covid viruses any immunity is short lived.
Life has changed add to that people's attitudes will change pubs, football, concerts and any mass gathering will be viewed very differently by a huge proportion of the population.

Some idiots will continue to think as soon as any restrictions are lifted that is the signal for a free for all.

Possibly the same for football as well. I've often thought that it was a habit, rather than pleasure, for many. Once that habit is broken...

Attendances at football went through the roof after WW2

I'll be in as soon as it's safe to do so, seeing just the Mrs all day long, and no mates isn't my idea of fun.
As for many of them shutting permanently, somehow I doubt it, it may take a while but eventually it will
be business as usual, they'll probably be rammed for a good while anyway, I would imagine those that do open
will have the best few weeks they've ever had.
At least, I hope so.

Every game wasn't on TV though back then. I think quite a few people were already getting disenchanted with PL/CL football but kept going out of habit. It will be interesting to see if crowds are the same when football starts again.

Sure, football will probably have to go through a big financial shake up, maybe including cutting ticket prices to 1946 levels!
