Some pubs around Manchester and Stockport, even Irish pubs like Horseshoe is Levenshulme, have no stools at the bar and no seating at bar, alright if you go in on a group and sitting at a table but if you looking to drop in for a quick pint on your own it's sh*t. I'd prefer drink at home than social distance in a pub

Loads of pub companies, chains, breweries and the like here seem to think this is a model for success. The strange thing about it, just from looking at it from a customer now, is that it is these pubs that are struggling, Wetherspoons aside. The pubs that are doing well, around Cambridge at least, are the ones who offer up a proper incentive to go out to socialise. Granted, like all English pubs, you can go in and keep to yourself if you want, but the main attraction is being a social hub. Decent drinks and food certainly help, but these attempt at making every pub and inn the same from Carlisle to Cornwall is what makes me people think it is better value having a beer at home than paying four or five quid to be made feel unwelcome in a pub.

I think a lot of domestic holidaying is on the cards alright, which is fine by me. We live in an amazing country and frankly i would love to have done more of it. But it is bloody expensive doing w decent holiday in Ireland

Very true it won't happen in a local but doesnt mean it won't happen at all esp if it's a choice between closing down fully or keeping going. In New York anyway the bar stools are there and anyone going in on their own tends to sit at the bar and its actually far more social to strangers than an irish bar can be. strangers are usually more likely to talk to each other at the bar this way as the bar man kinda acts as a conduit or a ref well the good ones anyway. Obviously in a covid world this won't happen. All depends on where the pub is located and what levels of social distancing the pubs can enforce. Going to impossible using the previous set up in irish pubs

Not so sure Daithi. Seeing pubs operating delivery services for food nearby - now not ‘local’ pubs but publicans will do anything to reopen and can see this as only potential solution in short term. One problem with reopening is that half the country will want to pile into the pubs. Need to ban bandwagon jumpers

May 5th is going ahead as the first step back to normality.
It’s phased but good to see a little light at the end of the tunnel

Any return to a semblance of normality will be long overdue come May 5th but it will just bring an inevitable flair up in cases again.
I think in the next week or so we will see a more laissez faires attitude from communities as people start gathering again (small numbers with family etc) as we just get to grips witu the idea that it’s simply not going away until we all get a jab in the arm. What will happen with the crèches?

I’d imagine crèches and infants will be the last to return as they can’t social distance....collages and secondary schools will go back early enough if they want the leaving cert etc done in July ...I’m guessing they’ll go back mid June.

The sensible thing to do would be to tell all secondary school students that aren't exam years that they finished up and see you in September. Can see the likes of restaurants and non essential shops opening first as they can implement social distancing easy and can also operate with reduced opening times if needed

Mad stat today that there were more mortgage approvals in November since they started keeping records in 2011.
Stemming from people being able to save more during the pandemic. But because there has still been f**k all built, supply dwindles while demand sky rockets |

I've seen it at work that mortgges weren't really affected by this crisis. The main people affected by this crisis (tourism workers, bar staff, shop assistants) weren't the type buying houses. Most of those on PUP were under 30
