Boris is desperate to be popular. There are enough oafs about who will be hugging strangers in the pub, safe in the knowledge that a vaccine is riding over the horizon.

Expect a big spike in January and February. The virus will go out like a lion.

Exactly.

People will be killed with this decision.

But anyway, what a laff it woz at crimbo though eh?

Wait are you saying restaurants are ‘places that sell expensive food for mugs’?

The mugs who frequent them and eat their muck dont see it like that.

Fair few pubs I know are sacking it off until at least Jan.

No need to put you staff at risk to probably make 10% of the profit you normally would

I dont think I'm giving aweay state secrets claiming that, tbh.

Yes. Mental for having a problem with restaurants and people who eat in them. Mental for suggesting that restaurants sell muck.

Whatever you are. Whether you are real or a WUM. You’ve jumped the shark.

Restaurants. Proper laughing here.

Imagine having a problem with restaurants. All restaurants.

This is the thing

The only pubs that can really afford to open in Tier 2 are the ones that can also be geared for social distancing.

"Just a restaurant".

Take a look at what's been happening around the globe with places like restaurants. Maybe they get closed down because they all got bad reviews for tardy service?

Hang on a minute. That’s not what you were saying.
Don’t back track now.
If you’d said ‘don’t open restaurants because we are in the middle of a pandemic’ then fine.
That’s not what you said though.
You said restaurants are ‘places that sell expensive food to mugs’.
Absolutely mental.
