Is @Tea_drinker sitting down before reading this news:

DW sports gyms look to be no more.

The gym I go to is nowhere near as busy as it used to be either. That's good for me as a regular but I'm wondering how long it will stay open now.

Fair play to a number of newbie fatties however who have joined up and are attending frequently in order to shake off some blubber.

Doesn`t sound like you`ve been in any pubs since they`ve re opened ?

The pubs by me are safer ( imo ) than the supermarkets.

Details on entry for track and trace - mandatory.
Hand sanitising - mandatory.
Table allocated on arrival - remains your table whilst your there - mandatory.
Reduced numbers for social distancing.
No standing at the bar - mandatory.
Standing one metre away from the bar when ordering - mandatory.
Table seating only- mandatory.
Drinks paid for by card - optional.
Drink brought to the table / empties taken away - mandatory.
One way in / one way out - mandatory.
All the staff wear masks.

What`s not safe about that ?

What's fun about that? Sounds like the type of boozer that rees mogg would attend for a sherry on christmas eve. Sack that!

I know a lot of smaller places are doing out door stuff.

At the weekend on the park by me you`ve got a full on ladies HIT group ( about 20 - 25 ). A lad who takes a boxing classes with about half a dozen lads ( funny watching them sparring on the grass ) A lady who takes a ladies only weight lifting session for about half a dozen girls. A mixed sex boot camp type session for about 20 people. The only thing missing are spinning classes !

No idea what they`ll do in the Winter though

It`s actually sound once you get used to it, admittedly it was a bit weird to start with !

The only problem is everyone is shouting across the tables at each other lol

I thought shouting would be banned as an obvious germ spreader.

Everyone is that far apart, the virus would have to be on steds to make it that far across the room !

Sounds like you have some responsible and law-abiding pubs around your area.
That's good.

What a 'kin shambles this scum government are.

There is growing evidence that COVID is in such small droplets that it's practically floating in the air once it leaves the body, so distance may just be read herring as well as being contagious for longer than its contemporaries. However, let them get on with it nothing beats personal responsibility.

Iran: Over 700 dead after drinking alcohol to cure coronavirus

More than 700 people died in Iran after ingesting toxic methanol, erroneously thinking it can cure the new coronavirus.

I take whatl this lot say with a mountain of salt. They are utter BS artists.

My advice to anyone is to ignore what these murderers say and use your own common sense.
