Forest_Fifer Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Just came to say the very same. A picture of fucking health indeed.

Avanti have said you can have a drink but can't see ScotRail or LNER making moves, they seem to grudge anyone drinking unless you buy it at their inflated prices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Incorrect. No longer government guidance to WFH where possible. WFH isn’t going anywhere.WFH going forward should be between you and your employer or unionf**k all to do with government any longer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Seeing a lot of people who have been shouting “Case numbers are irrelevant, Britain needs to reopen” now shouting “Scotland has high case numbers, they are fucking idiots”. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were dishing out drink to me in 1st class so I can only assume they were selling it in standard. Train manager told us as they’re an English company they could follow Englishrules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SG's job is not to win a popularity contest, while slapping ludicrous travel bans on other parts of the UK at the exact same time. A sweep turning back those without tickets for the game at train stations and buses at borders would have the case rates at a much, much lower level than what they are right now. They knew fine well that such groups would not comply with restrictions. They chose not to do it for political popularity reasons. Whether the SG is content with their decision or not is up to them, but they quite simply cannot deflect blame onto Johnson for Scotland's massive outbreaks right now. It also means that they have forfeited any right to have their concern trolling about lifting restrictions taken seriously.

I'll take your word for it that some people found it stupid. My point remains though....what would have been the reaction if Sturgeon had tried to stop Scotland fans travelling ? I'll tell you what would have happened. The mental obsessive weirdos on here would literally (and obviously I don't mean literally) self-combusted.

Scotrail will allow bevvy eventually, although as with masks, they’ve admitted there’s f**k all they can do to enforce it barring bringing the BTP on board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't selling it in late June, but now disappointing that ScotRail are outliers in terms of the companies servicing Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been told for a year and a bit that case numbers are to high and wear a mask, stay in your bubble......as figures are about to hit a record high.......they announce all restrictions will be lifted. I think most folk are still confused rather than anything. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I had a carry out on a scotrail train the day of the England game. The conductor openly told us he didn’t give a f**k about us drinking so long as we were discreet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 If folk want to wear a mask after restrictions are lifted then it's up to them, same with choosing where you do our don't visit, just nice to have the choice. Looking forward to center parcs a bit more now as well be there when restrictions are lifted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
