I think we need to change the thread title to 'The Jonhwise talking to himself thread.'

Tesco Bank to close all current accounts at end of November

The lender, which is part of Britain's biggest supermarket chain, said it was writing to holders of the 213,000 accounts to explain their options after finding most did not use them as their primary current accounts.

The DM's headline today 'Don't panic buy'. I wonder what they think that will do? ;)

Lockdown in September to save Christmas. That'll be the story.

'Professor Lockdown' says Britain might have to shut down again in months - but urges the nation to be 'patient' and wait to see if cases start falling by September or stay high in a 'worst-case scenario'

Stay home in the garden cider and cheese far far cheaper.pubs will be extinct in 20 yrs.

It sounds like the Covid passport and other restrictions and guidelines are being pushed on to businesses quite hard, despite the 19th being the “lift the lockdown day”. Therefore, pubs will still struggle to get the numbers up as it won’t be a last minute surge of everyone back to the pub, there is still some slow uptake on the vaccines meaning people won’t have Covid passports, so I still see an ongoing, higher than usual need for supermarkets for their booze and other items. Good for Tesco’s, good for us. I am guessing the bid takeover news has all gone quiet now from the US?

I agree the price of beer, cider, and wine at supermarkets doesn't help pubs who have had it very tough throughout the pandemic and I certainly don't mind paying the usual pub prices for a well kept pint of real ale, especially as you just can't get that elsewhere.

[konradpuss] 11/7/2021 10:25

vaneric1 agreed, however there is value (like Spoons) and £10 for a glass of red wine at a Mitchells & Butler up market joint.

[bountyhunter] 11/7/2021 10:24

Yes I know and wouldn't expect the same prices but £10 for a small glass of Merlot is still rather steep, unless perhaps you are in the VIP box at Wembley! 🍷

What you drinkers don't seem to understand is that the price of booze in a pub has no relationship to the price in a supermarket nor does food in a restaurant.

You're paying for the comfort and atmosphere in pubs and restaurants and for someone to serve you and clean up after you.

I can buy teabags for little over a penny each, should I be able to go into a cafe and demand a cup of tea for tuppence?

Yes I suppose that’s true bountyhunter.

No harm posting that bit again in the context of Amazon, others may also have missed the earlier post.

[albert3591] 10/7/2021 11:37

Konradpuss…I think people have realised how much cheaper it is to buy from supermarkets over the last 15mths,pubs will never get back the volumes they used to get.

[123trev] 10/7/2021 11:24

Think we already know that if you look back a bit.

From philanderer's post on the Morrison BB...

Amazon has appointed Tony Hoggett, a veteran of British supermarket chain Tesco, to run its physical stores, the U.S. group said on Friday.

[bountyhunter] 10/7/2021 11:03

Ten quid for a small glass, that's absurd!
Tesco do a whole bottle of Chilean Merlot plus main/side/desert for two people all for £10! :)

[konradpuss] 10/7/2021 10:50

ste1984. If people are drinking less in the pubs, they will be buying at the supermarkets (hopefully Tesco) and drinking more at home.

Having paid £10 for a small glass of merlot at my local pub last week I think I will be doing less of that even before the 'Passports' come in if they ever do.

[123trev] 10/7/2021 10:24

Passports probably won’t happen it would be a nightmare to enforce and then the question of freedoms come in. It’s probably a scare tactic aimed at the poor uptake of vaccines in the under 30s borders yes but pubs restaurants not. To be honest what would be the point now double vaccinated can still spread the virus and the government seems to have gone out of its way to go for herd immunity very early on as with everything else they’ve done closing the gates when the cows have already escaped would be pointless even Homer Simpson wouldn’t have let 100s of thousands of Indians in the country without quarantine with the delta variant running rife.
