Cable Forum - Coronavirus (OLD)

Ah, but that's part of the UKs beauty. Scorchio every day would be boring, and mean we wouldn't have a green and pleasant land. I'm all for a short sunshine break in the depths of our dark winters, but in the summer I never leave the UK.

Mind you my last abroad trip was in Rome in Feb, and I came back with a hell of a bad bug, great time though !

That sounds so wrong. Until there’s no restrictions in a pub I won’t be bothering as there’s no real point.

Re: Coronavirus

Giving the pubs a wide berth this coming weekend as we suspect they'll be rammed full of bored and thirsty 20-somethings. Could be a bit like a bad Bournemouth beach day.

However, subsequent weekends are an entirely different matter. ;)

If you wait until then, there may well be no pub to visit! The point is, amongst other points, is to ensure it's still there.

Mrs K and an eBay razor does a great free haircut. She now has a job for life ;) After the initial surge, hairdressers may find they've lost lots of customers permanently.

Meh. Don't see the problem myself. Pints from a glass whilst sitting at a table.

Re: Coronavirus

We normally go out on a Sunday, but already have plans on the 5th, so we will be booking a table on the 12th.

But at a new pub or new ales or new to me I like to sample them before committing and the silly idea of ordering by app - I don't have a phone.

Re: Coronavirus

A lot of pubs will still have a cash till for those without a phone. So will still be able to pay by card or cash. Most just want to encourage using the app.

Sampling - suspect this won't be happening for a while
Cash - some venues will be card-only, but maybe not all
App - don't think this will be compulsory or that all venues will have one.
