Thing is at present its pure speculation seems to be a knew lockdown measure making the headline every few hours.

Shutting pubs will be a huge move and pretty embarrassing for the Boris as it basically will be seen as a mistake HE made and really can't see him doing it unless he really has too.

Beyond belief the staff at my local are not wearing masks behind the bar or when collecting glasses..IDIOTS.

Boris Johnson has ordered officials to work up new plans to avoid a second national lockdown, including making the elderly and others at an increased risk from Covid-19 stay indoors.

Pub bosses warn ministers that shutting bars again 'will destroy jobs' after government Sage adviser said closing may be a trade-off to get children back to school

Vintners have warned closing bars could put millions of people out of work

But senior Tory MP Iain Duncan Smith said it was a ‘false choice’ to say pubs should close to allow schools to open. The former Tory leader pleaded for Ministers to ensure both are kept open.

He told The Mail on Sunday that impending ‘economic Armageddon’ was a far greater risk than Covid-19.

The Times reporting that if UK cases begin to spiral, the over 50's will
be asked to stay at home and self-isolate.

Duplicate post - sorry !.

Spoons shut voluntarily - not forced to do so - because all staff are self isolating and can't, immediately, get enough replacement staff.

I think there will be an initial markdown on monday but then it depends on whether there are genuine sellers about but I don't see a massive drop.Although increased over the weekend the risk of another shutdown was still very much there on Friday.

Good post Jfb.

I believe as unemployment increases and public sector debt grows a full scale lockdown of any sector is not happening. Localised lockdowns in extreme cases like Leicester will happen. If business is shown to be cause of an outbreak it will close for a period of time.Trade off for schools opening may have already occurred with yesterday's decision to slow down the opening of society.I expect tomorrow some politician on Marr or Ridge will confirm nothing has been decided.Have a good evening.

It hit 12 quid when none of the pubs were open!

[lodgeview] 01/8/2020 17:46

On a 'may' close?

[lodgeview] 01/8/2020 17:42

Will this collapse on Mon?

[gozzie2] 01/8/2020 17:32

They should just close the irresponsible ones down but I never see any police last one was Dixon of Dock green .

[gozzie2] 01/8/2020 17:30

Its not in the pubs around me in Manchester. I agree wetherspoons are not the culprits of this but they get lumped all together .A lot of older people with health problems will be fearful again also .

Pubs/clubs/leisure will be massacred on Monday

[gozzie2] 01/8/2020 17:19

No chance of staying open .
