Folk like you are the reason the nazis rose to power.

So this guy became an alky during lockdown ?

The article says he’s been sober for 70 days which means that even if he became an alky on the day we locked down it means he was an alky for a whole 83 days. FFS.?

In hindsight the nazis winning might have been nae so bad, amazing work ethic and the stuff they make is top notch. Great beer makers as well. They'd need to cut out the bad stuff, can't be having concentration camps and killing people you don't like, think if they dropped that side it could have worked.

You want a secret police to grass on folk who might be breaking unwritten rules. 
 

Yeah no idea what that could lead too...

I don’t doubt that alcohol intake at home has increased especially since the pubs have been fucking shut.

So the Beeb find an extreme to justify a negative story about everyone on furlough pissing it up every night. I imagine most folk have been having a ball.

Both options are depressingly shite.  I'm tired of the pub already,  far too sterile an environment to really be enjoyable.

Disfuckinggracefuckingful stuff from @Parklife today. He's gone right down in my estimation today. 

You'd be surprised how little I care about your "estimation". 
 

Been busy today though. Met up with a few mates. Drank gallons of beer. What's your gripe, Karen?

True, the whole thing is very depressing.

Although I was quite enjoying my local before the current lockdown

And the solution in the article is to put up beer prices. It might Help  some social drinker cut down I suppose but if you are a raging alchie it’s nae making any fucking difference if cans are up by 10p.
 

 

"So that's about increasing taxation, introducing, for example, a minimum unit price, but it's also addressing advertising, marketing and things like labelling so consumers have a real choice, and understand what alcohol includes.

Interesting stuff. He's most probably not run it past Parky though so it's probably best treated with caution for the moment.

I notice @parklife has skilfully swerved this

A lot of Aberdeen boozers were allowing tables of more than 3 differrent households which is against the rules.

Most had effective distancing between the tables, in fairness.

I don't think the pubs have been instructed to enforce that. It's up to the punters themselves as far as I am aware. 

[tommo1903]

Legislation

Physical distancing duties are set out in regulation 4(1) of the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions) (Scotland) Regulations 2020. A person who is responsible for carrying on a business or providing a service must take all reasonable measures:

• to ensure that a distance of at least 2 metres is maintained (or 1 metre in hospitality settings) between any persons on the premises (except between two members of the same household, or a carer and the person assisted by the carer)

 

 

Completely unworkable and absolute nonsense, but thats the guidance.

They have definitely been told no more than 3 households at a table 

[manboobs109]

Yeah it was the households thing I was meaning. I think that's the punters job rather than expecting bar staff to be checking who lives with who. 

[tommo1903]

I know of places that were asking for proof of address and not allowing more than 3 to a table, anyway.

 

Load of shit tbh.

[The Cockney Don]

Not worth the hassle and taking a chance anyway.

I've not been in a boozer for six months, another few month won't hurt.

[maryhilldon]

So it's no worse than flu eh?  At last some rational perspective. Fuckin said it from the start. Governments have a lot to answer for.
