Alpen Lodge blazing the trail for covid era pubs to follow. f**k aye. Nothing better than coming off a strange shift and being blootered by 3PM. The looks of disgust from the average office types is fab. (Or envious looks from office types with a drink problem) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a tragedy that defies description having this government at this time. You know New Zealand has had 22 deaths. If you had the same death rate in the UK it would be about 300. We have about seventy thousand, and are now entering a second wave, and winter. Literally over 99% of these deaths have been avoidable and could have been prevented. We are no different to NZ, we are an island, we saw it coming, we had the same amount of time they did to prepare. That's how bad a job they've done. All modelling shows lockdown 11 days earlier would have prevented about 90% of deaths, and 15 days earlier 99% of them wouldn't have happened if followed by adequate test/trace when lockdown was lifted. New Zealand is in the South Pacific who had a few of their inhabitants working in Earl's Court bars needing to get home. We're an integral part the European continent and with close connections with America and hosting some of the busiest airports on the planet. A better comparison would be with Germany, who admittedly have done far better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had exactly the same amount of time to see it coming that NZ did, and exactly the same geography. We can 100% control everything and everyone that comes into the UK, if we choose to. We can close those airports, and borders, and ports. We didn't, for far too long. Its inexcusable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. 1/1.We had exactly the same amount of time to see it coming that NZ did incorrect- nz announced travel restrictions om 14 march when they had 6 cases. Uk had 200 new cases on that date. 1/2 , and exactly the same geography we are 20 miles from our continental neighbours and also have a land border. 1/3. We can 100% control everything and everyone that comes into the UK, if we choose to. LOL. 1/4 We can close those airports, and borders, and ports. Maybe hypothetically but a practical impossibility. Half a mark. We didn't, for far too long. Its inexcusable. It's. Must try harder. Fail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football and music in pubs which makes such a difference, mask up in shops and on transport. Same rate here as in Scotland but nobody doing their dinger or trying to be non compliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirdly who gives the slightest f**k when the first case was in a country, we all saw it in China at the same time, had the same information from the WHO. No. Nz was behind the curve so had more idea what to expect. When we had 6 cases it was more, but not entirely, unknown.

Afternoon drinking is the mutts nuts. The pub I drank in (the most) had another couple of regulars who were twins. I was in it and Hughie was in in his sports jacket and slacks. He left at some point and then I saw Johnny in his working overalls. I had often seen men in the pub in their work clothes and then seen them later on dressed up, but never the other way round. I decided I had been in the pub too long and it was time to go home. It was only later I discovered they were twins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 A big favourite of the genre is going into some wee bunker like the Bier Halle and coming out again, absolutely ripped with zero idea of the time, and finding it to be broad daylight and still filled with shoppers Anyone who was of swallying age in Glasgow in the 90s may have encountered this phenomenon in the days of the Bonkers Big Office Party.Leave the premises blootered at 8 or 9pm on a sunny summer Friday evening, thinking it was about 2am after a 3 hour sesh on the pound pints and ten bob haufs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
