Pubs will be the show-stopper. There wil be pressure now for them to bring forward an announcement on those, even if it is a little while off.

The trouble with thousands of pubs in the UK is that they are not designed for social distancing.

But will the customers come back? A few will, but others might have got used to drinking cheaper and safer. The only benefit is the social aspect, which is the danger. Can't see them reopening until after a vaccine.

No chance, we won’t and can’t wait for that.

I reckon we will be operating normally as a a country and society ( perhaps with a few tweaks) come September.

Put some turf in the car parks and you can spread those tables around to comply with social distancing. Add an app to avoid queuing at the bar and it's just the toilets you need to worry about. Hmm on that latter aspect, I thought I'd just solved it!

With the highest death rate per capita in the world it'll be politically and economically dangerous to do that.

Wetherspoons always saw their customers as disposable so it may not be a problem....

It's all about food these days, that's where pubs went wrong. If you're going out to eat you might as well go to a proper restaurant. Pubs were dying before Covid.

In the old days I smoked the occasional cigar (i.e. when playing poker). I've still got some

Carl Upmann - Coronas Extra - Havana Melange

I'm not sure they were made in Cuba but they were damn nice.

First resignation of a minister.

Also, Gove also goes for a drive to test his eyesight for some reason.

Michael Gove has told LBC he has 'on occasion' driven to check his eyesight, but the Minister said he was 'not an authority on driving.'
