As Nonononandno says,

" All UK pubs, restaurants and gyms ordered to close
Boris Johnson takes action to stop coronavirus patients overwhelming NHS"

www.ft.com/content/8fc2bbc2-6ab5-11ea-a3c9-1fe6fedcca75

Only just read that

"All pubs, restaurants and gyms across the UK will be ordered to close as the government steps up its emergency measures to combat the spread of coronavirus, Boris Johnson announced on Friday.

The prime minister took the drastic decision at a meeting of officials on Friday in an attempt to prevent the NHS being overwhelmed by patients suffering from Covid-19.

It had been widely expected that the announcement would initially apply only to London, which has a much higher proportion of cases than other parts of the UK."

Should have been done long before now. Hope pubs aren’t packed tonight.

We have no savings or family who could help financially, so please think about that as well before judging everyone.
Similarly I have two nail and eyebrow appointments booked, one Thursday 26th March, the second Thursday 9th April.


The irony is not lost on me...

One of our local pubs is telling people to go tonight for a last drink while we can and has reduced the price of the drinks Confused

My DD works in a pub. They are closing tonight at 8. She is very relieved.

I've noticed a local gastropub and a couple of local cafes are advertising takeaways or deliveries. Area outside town.

My local chippie serves in cardboard boxes and I usually decant and pop in the oven, I believe 60C will finish off any virus if the cook was coughing while serving up.

It’s going to be very ugly indeed in our nearest big town tonight as the morons congregate for a last hurrah.

Anyone getting drunk, falling over, getting into a fight and requesting treatment as a result, frankly leave them to it and don’t send paramedics to attend.

The corona cocktail, available in many flavours.

Jeez, there are just no words, are there?
