Pubs and restaurants in England to have 10pm closing times.

[2greys]

Okay lads, lets meet up at 7pm instead of 8pm then we can still get plastered. Drink a little faster as well and then we will not care two hoots about Covid and the rules.

Oh dear, somebody just does not get what it is like to be young and carefree. Somebody just does not get the mentality of the young. Closing an hour earlier will not work, just encourage more binge drinking, and private parties/drinking sessions, a lot of people drink to forget, to forget about what the pandemic is doing to their lives and freedoms.

My thoughts exactly.

The goal is not to punish everyone, or even very many someones; it's to shame or scare enough people to make the rest conform. THESES 7 New York Times Theses about cancellation culture.

I couldn’t agree more 2 greys.

[sassy59]

With all due respect the 10pm closing time is stupid!

[Suzie42]

How stupid it all is, our local pub has been closing at 10pm since lockdown eased. Drinkers just get there earlier!!! Its all been said

[leo60]

I agree too! Is the virus suddenly more virulent after 10pm? xx

[2greys in reply to leo60]

Supposed to have originated first in bats, renaming it from Covid to the scary sounding Vampire Bug????????????

[leo60 in reply to 2greys]

That's ok then, the government just need to supply us all with crucifixes and plenty of garlic, then we'll all be fine xx

[2greys in reply to leo60]

.....and wooden steaks on the menu.

[leo60 in reply to 2greys]

Will that be on an eat out to help out type scheme? 😂😂😂 xx

[2greys in reply to leo60]

Perhaps it might be eat out to help become a Familiar scheme, to be transformed later into a vampire after 10pm

Trump calls it the "China Virus".
