They can't possibly stop or control that, can they? Working near Leicester town centre and it's still busy out. Combine wishy washy messages from the government and combine it with general stupidity and you'll have the kind of ignorance you can currently on the streets of L-Town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always imagined some kind of spinning around blindfolded and sticking a pin in something, or having a wheel they spin daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually nothing new, even the Black Death originated from China they think (although that's simplifying it a bit) however as now it was Europe where it did the most damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 2, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 2, 2020 Cancelled our family holiday to Greece last week. Lost the deposit, but wasn't prepared to take a risk. Gutted, it was going to be the first ever holiday abroad for just the four of us. If only I'd conceived a PM as offspring... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When were you due to fly out? I'm heading to Spain at the end of the month and still have every intention of going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 2, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 2, 2020 Later this month. There isn't any point, it's not going to be anywhere near the holiday we originally envisaged when we booked, and for quite a lot of money for us.

I'm going to leave mines until as late as possible before cancelling. Nothing to lose really in doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Blog Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 We have a cottage booked in the Lakes for september, really hope we are not back in lockdown. Not keen on any holidays the involve flying for a good while mind. We have an apartment in the Algarve so will miss that but fuck it, cases are starting to creep up in the village out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted July 2, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 2, 2020 I took the chance and flew out to Tenerife yesterday (having already rescheduled it, so losing any chance of a refund). There is literally two places open to eat at, and their masking rules are strictly enforced, but with my sanity crumbling from working from home, I really needed a break.

Paid Members JNLister Posted July 3, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Turns out it's not quite as mental as it seems as they aren't changing the licensing hours, so no booze before 11am. It's just the penny dropped that some pubs were planning to open at a minute past midnight and welcome people who'd spent all of Friday evening preloading at home. Incidentally, the government haven't actually yet published the changes to the law that make it legal to open the pubs again or say what if anything they must do differently to normal. There's plenty of guidance but no sign of the actual legal regulations. Â Â Edited July 3, 2020 by JNLister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
