Please explain how opening them too early and in a time scale that will mean that most can't reopen will save jobs?

What you are suggesting will actually mean that smaller pubs etc and non chain pubs will not be able to reopen and the jobs their will be more at danger.

The scared line is a pretty poor argument when people are just saying follow the science.

Think I read that the DfE has ordered 200,000 devices for disadvantaged students but they won’t be ready until the end of the month. Schools did open up for children of key workers for them to use the IT facilities I think, at least they have at mine. Vulnerable children were also entitled to this but I’m not sure how many of those went.

As with most things with education, the parents can't just turn a blind eye to it. They need to have input also.

I completely agree with that but in some house holds the lack of tech will be a genuine issue. Some of the kids in my form group have hardly been doing any work since April and though we have chased them for it by phone/e-mail there’s still nothing back. Can only do so much in the end.

Yeah, they physically won't be able to submit the work through the system (Microsoft Teams) but parents can still be trying to keep up with their education if they can.

There are plenty of kids who just play out all day every day as if it's the summer holidays, that's part of the problem. Out of the routine of getting up, getting dressed and working.

Yang Zhanqiu, a deputy director at the pathogen biology department at Wuhan University, told state media he believed the new outbreak involved a more contagious strain of the virus than the one that hit Wuhan at the beginning of the pandemic.

This is worrying.

Maybe somebody should start looking into why it keeps starting in places like this? China need to close their borders, not let anybody in or out of the country.

Or the fact that they keep starting shit with those awful wet markets, luckily we don’t have shit like that here

We have wet markets in the UK, do you know what a wet market is?

It’s not a new strain, a new Coronavirus. Covid 19 never went away and opening up has raised the R number again pushing it back into pandemic. Could have just as easily happened in a primark.

Yeah, this is all going to hit in September because of the variability. It’s harder at GCSE and A level because parents can’t help as much on all the subjects and I’m concerned about what can be done for those kids in particular.

Good luck with the feral kids.

Don't need a pandemic for that.

I don’t disagree with you at all, but there are still barriers for those that are keen to engage.
Some people believe that the responsibility for a child’s education lies SOLELY with the school, and it’s hard enough having to address this when school is open as normal - never mind in the middle of a pandemic.

A fair few pubs are doing take away and they just happen to have a beer garden.

You can serve take away ‘but it’s against the rules to consume it anywhere on or within
the Licensed premises, which obviously includes beer gardens and car parks etc.
A popular little pub near us is set just back from a beach top walk and opposite a public
green, they’ve just started opening 2 - 5 Sat and 2 - 5 Sun, buy you’re drinks and take
Them over to the green ‘must have been 300 there Saturday and 200 on Sunday.

I know one that’s been doing it for ages. I suspect technically it’s not a breach as it’s sort of away from the pub on an adjacent field

Not bothered about likes in the slightest

Good job

This is why CCC will need to amend the no alcohol in Cov City Centre outside of licensed premises by-laws

 

[clint van damme]

Most people on this thread don’t want them open even if it’s safe to do so.....

you really are an grade A simpleton!

Bet he was one of the ones piling into the pub the last day they were open.

Too busy asking Sick Boy every day at 3pm if the Italy figures were in only be told each day they come out at 5pm.

Glory days

It isn’t a breach ‘we have been told we can do takeout, so long as it isn’t consumed
On the licensed premises you are doing nothing wrong.

They do own the land and have put tables in there

A pub near me serves beer and coffee to takeaway, it has no car park or garden and is on relatively narrow streets. The pub can only encourage drinkers to disperse, it has no right to say where they go as long as they're off the premises.

Same as the ones I know of.

A lot of people taking up golf too, no clubs though.

If it’s part of the licensed premises it’s illegal if it isn’t it’s not, like most of the rules/guidelines
Put in place It’s all pretty contradictory.

You need to get outside more instead of sitting on this all day, what a sad geeza

Of course I was, everyone had one final drink before the closed

No they didn't and you probably stayed at home being a bit of a billy no mates

Careful the likes of PVA will report you to Special Branch with such a shocking confession.

Are we back onto trying to gang up to people who went to the pub while it wasn't breaking any rules while ignoring the tens of thousands of people lining the streets breaking guidelines and queuing up for shops?

Meanwhile groups of people were scrapping over a packet of pasta or bog roll.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

To be honest, I went with the missus and we went to an (empty) restaurant afterwards. Not knowing how things would work with takeaway or when they’d reopen it didn’t seem unreasonable. Have been a good boy ever since though.
