To ask if you are going Out, out tomorrow evening?

[TheQueef]

The media coverage almost seems to encourage people to relax the lockdown and have a blow out!
So I'm wondering....
YABU = off out, need to let off steam.
YANBU = staying safe at home, there's a pandemic.

Anyone else being given the impression we are being encouraged here?

Meh, no, we dont go out regularly on a saturday anyway . I feel for the businesses but not in a hurry to go out. Might get a takeaway.

No, still shielding a vulnerable person. And still not convinced after the failure of track and trace and the government's handling of all this.

Some pubs near us have been open for takeaway for a few drinks and it has been absolute chaos. Crowds drinking in the streets, people urinating everywhere to the extent that the police have had to close places down, loads of litter. Judging how some people have been behaving, not a chance I will be going near a pub anytime soon.

We’re thinking of popping down on Sunday.

Nope, nope and nope again.
The government do not have our health and best interests at heart. This is to stimulate the economy. More fool the dickheads who actually trust our government.

The pubs around me have enforced such strict rules on attending that I don't think it'll be any fun at all. Limited times for the table, booking in advance, name and address submitted on entering, limited numbers allowed in the toilet at the same time and so much more. I get why they are doing it but it sounds dreadful. I'd rather stay home.

Nooooo, I mean I would love to go to my local and sit outside by the river and have a drink but will definitely wait for the rush to die down.
Anyway I'll be too tired as I start back to work tomorrow as a hairdresser 😱

Lots of people don't go out on Saturdays anyway though, do they? Right up into my 30s I went out every Saturday and was always amazed how many of my work colleagues never did, so I'm guessing that hasn't changed much.

No way. I've got a family night in at the home theatre booked tonight. Nice meal, followed by best seats in the house Sofa Box Row A for Hamilton! No queue for the loos in the interval.

I wont be going out out for a long time yet.

It’s a no from me. Keeping myself safe.

Lots of people don't go out on Saturdays anyway though, do they?

Errrrrrmmm, loads of people go out on a Saturday - why would you not? It's the perfect day. Don't like going out on a Friday as it's too much of a rush getting in from work and getting ready. Sunday is the day before I'm back to work. Love a Saturday!!

We are going for a relaxed drink in the afternoon (table booked) and dinner (table booked) in the evening.

I am, yes, because it is a notable birthday for me tomorrow and I'm feeling a bit fed up about having to sit at home and cook. We have a private room booked in a nearby nice pub for dinner and then I shall go back to being locked in my house again.

Things are back to normal for us now my husband will be back at work from tomorrow. Not a chance of us going out at all, never is due to the hours he works and having no one to have our son. Back to long days and evenings home alone

Nope, I will wait a couple of weeks. I'm assuming there will be massive queues for every pub, and long waits as it's not like the supermarket

Yes! I've come to London to stay with family and 12 of us are booked in to a pub tomorrow night. I can't wait. For a variety of reasons this has been the worst year of my life, my mental health wouldn't have coped much longer without seeing my family and doing something normal.

I won’t be going anytime soon (although would love to). I’m not worried about catching the virus myself, but wouldn’t want to pass it to my mum. We’ve just booked a cottage in the UK for a couple of weeks’ time, and if we can’t go due to self isolation will lose the money. So I’ll be very careful between now and then!

I do think this will cause a second wave, though.

We’re not going this weekend. DS is having a couple of nights with Grandma next week so he can a change and I can work in peace. If the weather is nice on those evenings then DH and I might go to a beer garden for a drink

I think the two voting options are very polar - there’s a middle ground! I’m not going ‘out out’ and wouldn’t rush to a city centre pub which could be really busy, but will be happily sitting outside in the huge garden of our local on Sunday afternoon for food and drink.

DH and I are going out for breakfast at a cafe down the road

Nope - having four friends around in the garden

No, but not because of the virus. More due to having a baby! Also I think tomorrow will be mad. No thanks!
We have a table at a restaurant booked for DP's birthday at the end of July. Looking forward to that!

I love going out, most Friday & Saturday night pre-Covid I'd be in the pub but tomorrow? No. I want to go put when it's a bit more normal (whenever that will be) and not book a slot in the pub and sit away from other people. All my friends are big drinkers but none of us are in a rush to get to the pub.

So tonight and tomorrow night, I'll be dressing up and staying with DH, cocktails and wine (and the kids!)

We are of course being encouraged, partially because the Government wants to help stimulate business for those sectors that are late to having restrictions lifted, but moreover because the Government are desperate to appear "in control" of the virus and show progression, show people that everything is normal again.

It's the very thing that a lot of people on this board have called for week in week out. "Why aren't we able to just get on with it?"

Well tomorrow's their answer - yep, from July 4th we can all get on with it. Let's see however whether getting on with it leads to the inevitable second wave. For those people out partying tomorrow, there'll be no telling them - they've held their breath long enough, they want to let loose, and they'll claim mental health and all sorts as factors as to why they should be allowed to go out and drink etc.

Nope, we'll claim "because we can" as why we should be allowed. It is permitted, so who are you to say we can't go out. On here and on FB everyone seems to be saying they won't be going out, and round our way we have to book tables and there are 2 hour slots. Seems like it'll just be me and my boyfriend with the bar staff, so happy days.
Stop claiming it's all terrible before it's even happened!

Going to the pub opposite our house tomorrow for a pint on the lawn. Can't wait 🙂
