Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Some pricks cant follow rules sober, they're certainly not going to on a belly full of ale.

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.

Probably better for sales I imagine, with people buying crap they don’t need when on their way to pick up their 4 cans of carling.

I have just past the barber's by ours and there are fellas queuing right down the road , I wouldn't mind he is such a crap barber he use to wear a mask before we had even heard of the virus.

Thats why im having to wait a week - one I go is one of the most popular and you're waiting a good 2 hours or so on most days to be seen never mind what it gonna be like these next few days.

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.

Indeed I do. Only ever ventured in once, about 10 years ago, on a lunchtime, whereupon I witnessed a proper hair pulling, eye gouging fight between two 70+ women who were arguing over a toy boy who was around 50 but with a single front tooth and hair that hadn’t been washed for a month.

A long way below Wetherspoons and Yates’ on the social scale

Maybe if the government had been as generous to the Arts and Hospitality industry as they have to people on furlough, there wouldn't be this mad rush to get back out their and save places before they close down permanently

RIP Willie ... you had a good innings

Does make me laugh all the clowns who have to go somewhere just because it opens.

Im going a restaurant next saturday but wont be going out for cocktails with my bff until likely end of the month.

Now a queue to get into the National Gallery is something I could support.

Sales have been high all the way through mate.
Out dot com sales is over £600k a week alone. A lot of shops don’t take that in total.

Have you had plans to reopen the deli and fish counters?

Safe to say if you’re lining up for the pub at 6 in the morning you’ve got issues

Unless you`re Scottish and then it`s just classed as breakfast.

I will never forgive this government for their sheer gross ineptitude shown during this virus.

Anyone who votes for this absolute shambles is conducting a genocidal act as far as I'm concerned.

Anyone who has Marco Silva as their profile picture is conducting a genocidal act as far as I'm concerned.

Paulie Belta is the guest DJ as part of the days frivolities.

Only my personal opinion, but I think they will use this opportunity to bin them off altogether.
I know the meat buyers have been active recently, but I just can’t see them staying open for long.
