Do I get a double sticker for having completed 3 whole days of homeschooling without resorting to alcohol (indoors or outdoors) at all? 
(intending on remedying that after an afternoon of building Kelpies out of tin foil).
Am feeling so sorry for all cafes/ shops that put so much effort into establishing takeaway/ c and c services, that have had that pulled out from under them. And not sure what difference it makes, especially re takeaways. So people can still queue for a Costa, but they'll place the order at the door (possibly getting closer to the barista than otherwise needed, to be heard over outside noise), and get it handed over at the door rather than inside. So apart from upping the steps of the staff, how does it reduce contact with either the staff or other queueees? When are they going to stop restrictions for the sake of them, without considering how it will work in practice, or whether it will actually have the effect they intend?
Alcohol outside, OK, I can see the logic, but it's hardly an equitable policy, especially at this time of year. (Let's face it, it's not the champagne picnics or after work drinkers they are intending on targeting in January). And I thought councils could do that anyway, if its a problem.
