Few of my mates are keeping me updated on there pub tour today and it sounds awful. Their group is too big and they've been warned and split up several times already lol

That pub is famous in Newcastle. I imagine @Chewbacca knows of it also. Dirt cheap and closes at 9 to ensure that the punters go home to piss themselves instead of doing so in the bar. Has absolutely insane karaoke nights also. Average age will be 60 odd.
I was sent this pic from 8am lol

Such patriotism, lining up to go over the top for queen and country

They sound like nobheads.

Thank you David, I'm sure your friends are lovely people also.

They wont go out like that and then back to their families to infect them.

It was said somewhat tongue in cheek, but it does seem that we're going down the same road as America at the moment, whereby the left are increasingly urban, university educated people, and the right are working class town dwellers. Maybe that's a picture Labour are happy with, but it seems likely that the people of Wigan know full well that Dave and his kind at Momentum look at them as 'serfs' and gave up a lifetime of backing the party as a result.

I'm no fan of chavvy types queuing to get into a pub at an ungodly hour either, but such an attitude would traditionally have had me viewed as a snooty Tory looking down on the working class, and yet now it seems commonplace among Labour supporters.

I'm not a Labour supporter. Only voted for them the last two elections because they were by far the lesser of two evils.

They all live on their own if it makes you feel any better.

Fair dos like. How many elections have you voted in?

My shop is stopping the one way system next week, letting loads more people in at once as well.
I hope they are keeping the plastic screens around tills though.
It will certainly feel odd being virtually back to normal. A lot of customers actually like it as it is now.

Hospital total for the day is 47, 5 up on yesterday but 37 down on last Saturday. Of this 39 were in English hospitals, one up on yesterday and 39 down on last week with 32 occurring in the past 10 days. Hospital totals have remained in double digit figures now for 23 consecutive days

That feels premature to me. Like you say, everyone has got used to it, and the pay off by queuing to shop in a far more relaxed manner is fine for most folk I have spoken to. The staff like it as well apparently.

Good.
