Is that still open?!? Last time I was in there, it was like a stage set for some Jack the Ripper melodrama!

It's hard to believe I got barred from there about 15 years ago 🤣 the lad who owns it is really sound now .

It's an experience to say the least

I saw something online which I think is very true.

“Some people aren’t looking forward to the end of the pandemic because they love being the best at following the rules”

Let’s live our lives. Have some pints and hopefully be back at the football before long.

Yes, and there was also a survey yesterday that showed many people actually enjoyed lockdown.

Apparently though, when you suggest that, you are an awful piece of shit.

Glad to see the end of this I hope, it has been one incredibly tough year.

Yeah it’s been a shit one. Chin up, get out and have a few pints and hopefully we’ll be out. Maybe it’ll stop you being such a fascist prick 😉

Great post. I find it frustrating that every issue now has to be seen in binary terms. You're either open everything up or a lockdown lover.

I'm not seeing many, if any, people saying the gyms, shops & pubs shouldn't be open, what is being said is stick to the social distancing rules that are in place and be sensible. You can express concern at pictures like those from The Oak or of people literally shoving each other out of the way to get in to shops without wanting everything shut down completely. Nobody looks at a picture like the one Sbarcher posted and says places like that should be closed.

The number of people who are saying things like 'the vulnerable are vaccinated' or 'its only the young going out and they're safe' is alarming to me, shows that over a year in there is still little understanding among the public of how dangerous the virus is and how it spreads.

I was reading about Chile at the weekend after someone on here mentioned it. Nearly half the population have had at least one jab yet they are now in lockdown again after cases surged. This stood out in one article "people over 70, most of whom have already been vaccinated, have almost disappeared from our emergency rooms, now we have younger patients, some gravely ill”. Two things kept being mentioned in the articles I read, failure to properly secure the countries borders and complacency, particularly among the young, as the vaccination program proceeds. We need to make sure the same thing doesn't happen here, nobody wants to be heading back into lockdown.

Haven’t Chile been using a Chinese vaccine, and surprise surprise it’s not as good as the Chinese say it is

Where's the social distancing, or the masks. Why are the pub allowing this to happen instead of having a booking system?

It's this kind of stupidity that will cause another wave. If people have got the time and money to go out drinking on a Sunday night it's their choice, but this looks like madness to me.

It's the open air, it's young people who are otherwise couped up in shared housing in any case. Good luck to them.

Exactly this. I think it's perfectly reasonable to call out unnecessarily risky behaviour whether that's at Primark, John Lewis, or The Oak.

Trying to frame it as being a 'killjoy' is totally nonsensical. It's actually completely the opposite; behave reasonably now and things can be relaxed more quickly for everyone, or go daft now and accept that things will likely end up being shut down again. For everyone.

The desparation to spin it as a class, age, pro/anti-pub argument isn't rational. There's enough evidence now to see what happens when we get careless or think it's all over. It isn't.

I have to say, though, that this is a thread about people on this board going to the pub and, we have to assume they're doing it safely - nobody has given any indication to the contrary, tbf (or I've ignored all who are ;)) What's not good is when it flies off into binary arguments, when there then ends up with... unhelpful, shall we say, streams of position-taking. I'll cite a positive example that you and hill ended up in a nice, confortable, position of understanding one another and accepting, if maybe not entirely agreeing.

All I'm asking, really, is #BeKind as they say.

Not quite with you re the last paragraph.
Don't those demarcations exist ?

No room at The Greyhound Inn yesterday so resorted to The New Horseshoe instead.
Missus was driving so I had 3 pints of Staropramen, which was lovely and fresh (good head)!
However, I must admit I'm now a bit of a lightweight as the beer went straight to my head and was tucked up in bed by 8.30pm...

If we had got in the Greyhound, I'm pretty sure this wouldn't have occurred due to the Theakston Mild being less strong.

The Cobra in the New Horseshoe is one of the finest pints in the city IMO.

The food is amazing as well!
