October lockdown?

[Goingdooolally]

Hi
I can’t see another thread on this and I think it’s more Scotland than general CV related.

Any thoughts on this? I’m a teacher and there’s been no word at work but I’m hoping to go away for a week in half term (west coast) and really really hoping lockdown doesn’t happen! Selfish I know, but we need a break!

Anyone got any views on the likelihood?

Fucking this

@throwingawaymyshot

I misheard, can someone clarify?

Central belt pubs are to close completely and everywhere else is 6-6 but only food and no alcohol?

Or is it 6-6 everywhere?

I think that's right

I thought it was no alcohol before 6pm and only outdoor alcohol 6pm til 10pm. I'm totally confused.

Ha at the confusion

Just what Willie Rennie said..

is Swinney due to speak today, does anyone know?

presumably thats all the 'big news' today?

Thought he was talking at 4.30?

@nibdedibble

I just came on to say Willie Rennie is a fanny 😂

I witnessed an elderly lady shouting at him once outside Morrison’s in St Andrews. It was pretty funny.

I have an interest in what Swinney announces but JESUS he is a terrible speaker

@nibdedibble It's disjointed and I think it will be confusing for some.

We are not insisting that people cancel any half term breaks they have planned but advise people living in the Central Belt not to travel outside the health board area they live in if they don't need to.

well people were only supposed to go abroad if it was essential so I think most folk will "need to" travel outside their own area. Unless they open up a costco in the forth valley then i think i will be breaking this "advice" soon.

[quote nibdedibble]@RosemaryTelephoneOperator What’s confusing? Don’t go anywhere if you don’t need to, but they accept people have holidays booked so be extra careful if you decide to go.[/quote]
It is quite confusing though. "Don't travel outside or into the central belt, unless you have a holiday booked, which you can go on (though we'd rather you didn't), but if you do go, you'll only be able to eat at your hotel (if they think it's worth opening their restaurant) or live off cheese toasties from costa, or you could get in a few pot noodles and eat them in the park or your hotel bedroom. But NO WINE... Oh, and we don't want you to use public transport because its non essential, so you can't travel around Scotland while you're here if you don't have a car. But yes, Visit Scotland because we are so welcoming. Haste ye back"

Well that's just blown our October holiday out the water. Will I get a refund on our fights, car hire and self catering from he north of Scotland to The central belt?

if it's self catering you can still cook at yours can't you? it's mainly pubs and restaurants what has been affected.

Thanks for basically killing off my holiday plans NS. Again, the North are punished. I don't know if I'm angry or upset. I can't take much more of this. That's all the thanks that school staff get for coming back a week early and working in horrible conditions

Swinney is on Scottish parliament TV now.

You'll need matchsticks for your eyes. The man is a walking sedative

Higher/AH exam diet pushed back to May 13th. Checkpoints in place to put in place contingency if needed.

What's confusing about it ? No pubs open at all in the areas mentioned, cafes without a licence allowed to stay open until 6pm to allow for people to have somewhere to go and meet up with someone to prevent social isolation.

What's confusing about it ?

Well if you read the thread you’ll see.

Smart move actually, considering cases and large outbreaks are tracked back to pubs.

and a good day to bury bad news?

So we've had covid Maggie - now is it Dementia Nicky?

Is this why today's restrictions came today rather than on the usual Thursday review?

What time are we allowed to stay up to? Is it lights out at 8 with street patrols to make sure - oh and central belt lights out is 7.30.

If you are good you can sit by yourself sipping tap water while reading the bits of the old testament about the plague as long as you wear a mask and don't enjoy yourself too much.

Nae doot. And MF still not resigned, maybe she just forgot too?

So, is this correct, all restaurants, bars etc can open 6am to 6pm but not serve alcohol.. Or only unlicensed premises can open 6am to 6pm?
