Pubs Opening Tonight.

[Everhelpful]

Pubs where I live are opening at 12.01.am,anybody desperate to go?

[Jackdaw33]

Not that desperate yet. Whereabouts are you?

[bookbinder]

Is that an invitation?

[emmie]

not particularly, i wouldn't get out of my warm bed to go traipsing round anywhere let alone a pub.

[davebro]

I'm not sure the pub experience is going to quite as I remember it for at least a couple of years - and that's if all goes well!

[burlyshirley]

NO ! I've got a Sunday lunch booked at the end of May at mine and my friend's fave pub and I'm happy to wait till then, but looking forward to it, a lot.

[Bobbisox1]

who would feel the desperation to do that? I am in bed normally by 10 anyway

[gingejbee]

No, don't frequent pubs. Goes back to when they were full of smokers...and I really don't miss them (the pubs and the smokers).

[Buenchico]

12:01? That's far too late for me!

I wanna be there at 12:00:01 ;-)

Actually, I've got no intention of going anywhere near a pub until until the initial rush has died down. I'm expecting the first few days of the week to be busy for pubs, with Friday evening and Saturday being fairly chaotic too. I might venture out to do a crossword with a mate in a pub next Sunday, although I've not made my mind up about that yet.

[emmie]

i have been to the local several times in the past few weeks, yes it was sitting outside, but under cover enough to not get wet,

[Bobbisox1]

been for a pub meal, wasnt impressed with either the food or the setting

[emmie]

i haven't eaten in my local for an age and its unlikely i will do so again, its just too expensive for basic fare.

[zylaphone]

I can’t wait for normality and real life face to face with friends though not 12:01 though!

[emmie]

i have been meeting up with friends since lockdown started, admittedly for a coffee outside, all within the guidelines but that's all set to change tomorrow.....

[Mamyalynne]

It's not for me but I'm sure many places will be well patronised, some are even booked up already.

[emmie]

one local is taking table bookings only.... no idea if they will be busy but in normal times, they are usually packed to the rafters.

[tiggerblue10]

I'll probably be in the land of nod by then. Been up since 7 and had to go to my house for a delivery at 9. Normally takes 45 minutes to drive there but luckily took half an hour as there was hardly anyone on the roads at 8. There is a lovely pub at the end of my road so next time we go we're going for Sunday lunch.

[Bobbisox1]

Just been invited out on Tuesday on more of a ‘we’re here for you ‘ couple of hours , a few of us will meet with our friend Michael’s wife , he died with Covid last November so we’re meeting her to show we still care and we’re there for her

[emmie]

good for you Bobbi, she will appreciate that im sure.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes I’m sure she will as on top of all this heartaches, she’s being made redundant

[emmie]

thats awful Bobbi, can she find another job, or can she afford to wait awhile.
