AIBU to think that it's going to be worse out tonight than New Years Eve...

[Taddda]

'We're closing all the pubs/clubs/restaurants as of midnight tonight for the foreseeable future - but don't go out!'

.......Does he know how many fucknuts there are in this country who are now on a complete bender on the promise of a 'freebie night' with pubs emptying there surplus....?

This should have been announced yesterday, effective immediately, not at 5pm on a fucking Friday when they've just kicked out all the schools/uni's/colleges, all the staff have no jobs as of tomorrow....

Madness....

(Btw, wasnt sure if this was Coronavirus or AIBU worthy, so took my chances )

You're not wrong.
I feel so sorry for the frontline staff who are pleading for people not to do this.

You'd have been panned for AIBU, so good call.

Agree some people will try to have a final hurrah, but didn't he say pubs had to close as soon as they could so a lot will have already shut by now?

You are probably not wrong, sadly. I said the same to my DH.

I’ve seen some bars advertising they will be having special offers tonight, so come on down.

Can’t wait for them to close!

People really listened to 'please don"t panic buy' didn't they.....

You're not wrong. Literally, had this exchange with mate from work tonight.

YANBU. Our village pub is doing pints for £2 and is apparently rammed. Head in the sand. Lalala everythings fine . This is a village with a large population of elderly people. Madness.

They should have put the closures on today, i can only imagine what the pubs etc are like. In 14 days they'll wish they'd stayed in, serves them right really. Seflish immoral beastards

@Wannabangbang them and everyone else they're now likely to come in contact with over the next week....as if there's not enough pressure on the NHS right now we're likely to see that 'curve' massively increase through sheer stupidity.

Stupid. Should of closed as soon as announcement made.

I live close to a number of of pubs. Listening to the large number of groups going past who are obviously on a night out is making me really angry 😡

All the pubs in our local area are rammed. I despair.

Most pubs are open until the beer runs out & then closing, round here they get deliveries Thursday/Friday for the weekend so they will be heaving until forced to close.
