Just nipped out for a walk on my lunch and the park near me is packed full of people just enjoying a nice sunny afternoon in a park whilst I have to go back to work

This one's on us lads - We'll foot the bill don't worry

Not everyone can work from home or may be furloughed/unemployed.

You've still got a job don't be so bitter.

If you are talking about furloughed people, keep in mind they have lost 20% of their wage.

Also, them retaining 80% of their wage is key to keep money cycling through the economy, which we will all benefit from.

If it's elitist to wonder why on earth you'd queue for hours in a hot metal box to eat crap food that tastes of nothing then I'm a dreadful snob. Especially when there's probably a hundred local businesses within a 15 minute drive that would really appreciate your trade.

You ever tasted a Big Mac lad? The best way I can describe it is that it must be how a lady feels after being bamboozled by Johnny Sins.

Utterly tremendous

You're not out living it up though are you? I don't have an issue with the furlough scheme in general

I see we're at the 'is queuing for McDonalds evidence of British stupidity?' vs 'criticism of people queuing at McDonalds is elitist disdain' phase.

I've not yet seen if the curve is going in the right direction or not...

No but I might go out for a walk in a bit because sitting at home is depressing as fu*k really.

Are they furloughed staff?

Tell me about it

I've no idea - but on a typical Thursday afternoon there'd be one man and his dog up there- Not 200 people having picnics so i'm making an assumption

Make sure you maintain the necessary solemnity and flagellation throughout.

It's not a typical Thursday afternoon. I imagine most afternoons people would be at McDonalds, but have you seen the queues for them....much better to be at the park.
