to think peoples attitudes are just going to contribute to more lockdowns?

ok. i have always been an advocate to get back our freedom but sensibly. went out yesterday to a local pub for a couple of hours and couldn't believe it. its a great pub lovely atmosphere and staff and has always been a child/dog friendly pub. no social distancing at all, at one point i was squished on a bench between about 5 people. kids running in and out of the pub messing about etc. i totally get that yesterday was a novelty to many people after being locked down since the beginning of november but i feel this total lack of self control is going to end badly for everyone. did you risk going out at all yesterday? aibu?

I think people have really divided - those that have knuckled down to get this over and those then couldnt give a toss if they tried.

Knuckling down doesn’t get it over. I can’t believe people still think this. Despite what MN would have you think, compliance with the rules has been very high. And yet here we still are.

So you went to the pub, but not happy as other people went too, and it was too busy for your liking.
When alcohol is involved, common sense goes out the window im afraid.
