Pubs serving a pint with an insubstantial meal

Has the government released a document to clarify what constitutes a proper meal? What if I just fancy 5 packets of Space Raiders for my dinner?

Leitch, hilariously, says it's obvious what a substantial meal is, and that we should use our "common sense"

In other words, no.

[Billy Jean King]

But as either Whitty or Valance said it just means they don't fully comply.
It could be walking the dog or into the supermarket for 10 minutes.

Isolation rules do not permit visits to a Supermarket that's a total no no. There must be a fair amount of spread from contacts not isolating properly or positive testers not revealing contacts or those contacts not being contactable.

For once he is right, anyone that needs an explanation of a meal (substantial is England) is a total moron. It's obvious a pickled egg or crisps do not constitute a meal.

What if it's a pickled egg and crisps on the same plate and you eat them with a knife and fork?

How about a bowl of soup, or a sandwich?

What about toast and jam? I have that for my breakfast quite a lot, so surely it counts as a meal.

*jam on toast.

[Detournement]

A pint of Guinness and a Regal King Size is an acceptable meal imo

[Bairnardo]

Steak McCoys have always been a meal, by anyones standards.

Because of your spoiler I always assume you are blaming Berkshire for anything Covid.

More than happy to pin the blame for all the world's ills on Slough, tbh!

You can only leave your accommodation in limited circumstances. These include where:

• you need access to basic necessities like food and medicines (including for any pets or animals in the household), but please try to first arrange for these to be delivered to you instead to reduce the number of times you need to leave your accommodation

That's quarantine rules (returning from abroad), we were discussing self isolating following a positive test or tracing procedure

Toast on jam.

[Billy Jean King]

Depends on your level of deprivation.  Some of my patients see a packet of crisps as a meal.  They're idea of fruit is some cider.

It was in the context of a restaurant / pub purchase. Perception of what constitutes a meal in general will indeed depend on your circumstances but in terms of ordering food in licensed premises I'm pretty sure the vast majority of folk realise the difference !

Germany and Sweden onto the travel naughty step for quarantine

Anyone who can’t grasp this is very definitely at it. If your establishment has a regular menu that goes from pie n beans to steak pie or fish n chips, it’s a substantial meal. Or if the best you can do is a range from a bag of crisps up to a pie out the heater that has hastily been found in the cellar and had the dust wiped off it, it’s not.
