    Like most others I won't be rushing back to the pub. My local pub is not re-opening, so I'm not sure what I will do when things do settle down. Likely just a drink at the house..

    Or they just don't want to sh*te in their own backyards. :mad:

    Sigh...these days there's not much at all that surprises me, Wessa. Just waiting on that locust plague at this point.

    Ah, thanks for the clarification, @Smilinjack. I shouldn't have jumped to such a strident response without having enough information. :oops:

    How far apart are Leicester and Nottingham? Living in the American West where cities and towns are relatively far apart, it's hard for me to imagine chartering a bus just to drink in a pub. Though I'm a bit weary of drinking only in our backyard or living room, I'd probably still opt for that over taking a bus to go drink in a pub. Plus it doesn't seem that drinking and COVID mitigation are very compatible behaviors. :worried:

    I won’t be going anywhere near. The rules they are putting in place mean it is going to be a real pain. I will carry on drinking in my own house rather :)
    Far less distance to stumble to bed and I never get lost :grinning:

    Wow, you have to have a lot of motivation to drink in public to do that!

    Lucky sod! I’m starting to resemble Cousin It now. :joy:
    I’ve not tried getting an appointment at the barbers yet (I’m guessing I’ll need to book) but Mrs Freck got one at her hairdressers for in 3 weeks time, and she was apparently on the priority list having already had an appointment booked before lockdown. :confused:

    First haircut since when, pete? Hope you enjoy it. I think that a haircut is one of those many things we've simply taken for granted prior to being in the midst of a pandemic.

    I realized the other day that between my bicycle crash and then COVID, I haven't had a haircut--or a judicious "highlighting" ;)--since last December. I hope my hairdresser still even remembers who I am! :worried: On a positive note, I am saving money. ;)

    I have mine booked for the 15th July. Can’t wait :) Although I have had at it during this lockdown, so don’t know if they can fix my attempt :joy::joy:

    We have a small village local that is the hub of the community, ie it’s where all the beer drinkers live in the evenings. We are really lucky to have a great group of friends that we have missed and a good landlord that needs our support. So we are going in early and coming away after a couple......But we always say that :p:mask::dizzy:

    Well after much work and expense we opened our pub on Saturday and it was fine
    Many of our lovely locals back plus a few townies who really appreciated our efforts. Basically the sort of like minded people our place thrives on
    Doubt I’ll be rushing to a Wetherspoons on our night off though.
    Remember the longer folk stay away from good pubs who are trying their best the more chance they’ll never reopen
