come on who will be in their local this weekend

Been for a wander round Birmingham this afternoon. Most decent restaurants open, most decent pubs closed.

Know quite a few decent operators who say they're delaying by a week, to see what happens. Sensible, if you can afford it.

Only one pub I spotted, the Briar Rose, with a queue outside it. Certainly much quieter than a normal Saturday afternoon.

Going to be a long road back, I fear.

I’ve had no inclination to go to a pub today. Round here in Gorton I expected it to be a free for all in most boozers with zero social distancing and little intent from most landlords to impose guidelines. Maybe I’m being overly harsh but I bumped into a neighbour when walking the dog this morning and while we were chatting he got a text off a mate saying the Lord Raglan on Ashton Old Road was hammered. I just can’t see local pubs in many working class areas being geared up for this. City centre pubs are different altogether, plus they’ll have plenty of eyes on them to make sure they’re complying.
 
Still don’t understand why the government didn’t choose Monday as the day to allow pubs to re-open. Would’ve made more sense to allow them to ease back into things rather than this “Super Saturday” bullshit.
4th july,our very own independence day,makes for a good soundbite and Cummings like those
 
Not even been out of the flat today, in fact since Thursday when we went to a really beautiful NT garden (and house currently closed), that we've lived less than 15 miles from for nearly 30 years and never visited before, we'll be back for certain.
