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.

I was saying to a friend of mine the other day, I can see up to 50% never reopening, but you’ll know better than me.
 
I think it depends what the antibody testing shows in terms of percentage of people who have already had it. Saw in some Asian countries that a QR code shows their status and determines their freedom to move around.

Hopefully many have had it asymptomatically and the exit phase will be relatively quick, I have my doubts though.

Agree with others that restaurants will open sooner as easier to maintain social distancing, instead of queueing at the supermarket we’ll be queueing for the toilet though.
 
If you think you've had it. 100quid to test and a certificate. No one in pubs without a certificate. All money to a virus fund. If there is a vaccination same applies. Oaps free.

I went on a stag do with the landlord of the pub on my road last year. I’ve already booked a table Friday, Saturday and Sunday for his first weekend open.

How rich do you think people are? I certainly could not afford £100 at present.

Neither could I. I'm getting nowt while my business is closed. Sometimes it's worth thinking about the greater good or bigger picture. It'll only be temporary. Anyway it's just my take on it and it'll never happen.

Over a decade ago the police went round my neighbor hood and shut down most pubs especially the seedy ones, this had one and only one effect instead of having a police van outside, at bang on 22:30 or 01:30 depending on which type of boozer, to pick up all the usual trouble causers, they had to have a van outside every block of flats at all times, as the usual trouble causers drank all day at home, drinking at home is not as safe as drinking in the pub, unless of course you make it that way, stay healthy

I’m neither a piss head or trouble causer, so myself, my family and my neighbours will be fine.

stay safe.
 
Feel depressed at the thought.
Thousands and thousands would have died from this virus and people are itching to celebrate the weatherspoons being back open.
