I think we need to enforce the rules rather than just toss them out there and hope everyone falls into line.....its almost like self regulation...
The pubs aren't enforcing social distancing at all ...not sure they could even if they wanted to....
And the £10 meal thing .....is just packing people in .....-?????????

I’ve used the deal a few times and in every establishment, I’ve been at least 6 feet from everyone except my companion and the adherence to Covid safe has been exemplary

There are too many folk that think - ball cocks to it all (including the anti-vaxxers etc). Personally, I don't want it/be a carrier then give it to my parents, or worse still, touch something that sends the virus into MIL in the Nursing Home (she asks us to get her stuff - no 3 day quaranteen on items going in
).

Same here - only used local businesses (actually 3 in Wales, and one at home). All have been great. I did check them out first though, and went at less busy times.
Not touching Wetherspoons anywhere. Filth pits.

Sadly, you may be right but we all know it just can't happen. My sister called over the weekend and told me about one incident where a local who was working in Denmark, cambridge home for the weekend and spent all night in one pub and then tested positive the following morning which means he did the test then went out. There are a number of very unhappy people now looking for a word with him.

I meant if pubs are open - subject to social distancing. Then take action against those who make no effort to control the numbers in pubs.
Just sticking a few posters up and a few arrows on the floor isn't working IME

I've used it 3 times. On the last 2 occasions someone has been seated within touching distance of me.
Went to an outdoor event Saturday- no outdoor bar - no social distancing at the indoor bar.
Imo the uptick in cases has strong links to the re opening of pubs - and why ever we needed a scheme to pack people into pubs is beyond me.

Seems to be more due to lots of cases in factories. The numbers are very low in these parts, lots of pubs and restaurants. No factories

I agree, but we can also vote with our feet as well. Don't frequent any business that doesn't take it seriously, including the restaurant you describe above.

Or take some responsibility and don't go in to an overcrowded space.
