The thing that could keep people away more than a 40p rise is hospital rates of 14,000 a week by August ,and millions of people told to isolate after contacts of infected people .As I've always said there doesn't need to be lockdown to keep people away from pubs .

[gozzie2] 07/7/2021 17:27

Wouldn't have thought an extra 40p would keep customers out lol.Il report from the 2 in Halifax tomorrow.

Shortage of labour for wetherspoons since brexit fiasco and now shafted by the moronoc government martin and his self harming brexit cronies foisted on the non knuckle draggers. Reap what you sow, would love to see this company collapse over the next couple of years.

Wetherspoon says 12.5% VAT will mean 40p increase in meal price

In a trading update, the pub group accused UK governments of "robbing the poor (in this case pubs and restaurants) to help the rich (supermarkets)" and described it as "undoubted unfairness" that supermarkets do not pay VAT on food but pubs and restaurants pay 20%.

Thanks Gozzie he is ok but is health is not great and since COVID visiting hospital is always stressful.

[gozzie2] 06/7/2021 21:31

Oh hope he's ok.That doesn't sound good .

[tim 3] 06/7/2021 21:07

Was waiting 7 hours luckily he was ok.

Have you been to hospital recently? Absolute bedlam basically A&E was spilling out into the car park when I took Dad last week.Was told by a nurse it was mainly due to GP's making it almost impossible to get a face to face appointment and A&E picking up the bits!

[gozzie2] 06/7/2021 20:48

406 hospitalised today.Thats doubling every few days .Hopefully they won't be staying in long .There was 3500 hospitalised daily in January. Let's hope it doesn't put too many off going to crowded places .Places where they have a younger clientel shouldn't have a problem .

EIYes but strange how quickly it spread from the north east to the rest of the UK where there were virtually no cases early on.Spoons Scarborough open again interestingly the entire upstairs nearly half the pub is app only.Personally I like it but like it or not cash customers are becoming second class citizens.Would not surprise me if they keep it that way after July 19.

Nice to see the unvaccinated are still with us .Atb

[gozzie2] 06/7/2021 18:01

[kreature] 06/7/2021 17:55

Bangladesh is nice.....perhaps you could get a boat ?

[gozzie2] 06/7/2021 16:52

You dont have to guess.The FACTS are out there

[essentialinvestor] 06/7/2021 15:58

Tim, just guessing here - travel between India and the UK may be significantly
higher than many other European countries?.

[tim 3] 06/7/2021 14:15

Cheers will be interesting to see how that pans out.

Now, there are increasing signs that mainland Europe is seeing a sharp rise in cases too.The EU is certainly worried about the spread of the highly infectious delta variant which evidence suggests is around 60% more transmissible than the alpha variant first found in England, causes more hospitalizations and slightly reduces the efficacy of vaccines.A number of European countries have introduced further restrictions on visitors from the U.K., but experts believe it's only a matter of time before it takes off in mainland Europe - and there are strong signals it already has.On Tuesday, French Health Minister Olivier Veran said that the delta variant now represents some 20% of Covid-19 cases in France, up from last week's estimate of it representing 9-10% of cases.Germany's public health body, the Robert Koch Institute, said this week that the delta variant accounted for around 36% of the cases in the week of June 15 - 20, up 15% from the week before. Lothar Wieler, president of the RKI, also told officials the variant now already represents more than 50% of registered cases in Germany, Deutsche Welle reported Tuesday.Meanwhile, Italy's national health institute said Friday that cases attributed to Covid variants delta and kappa (a "variant of interest," according to the World Health Organization, that's related to the delta variant) have surged in Italy in the past month, accounting for nearly 17% of total Covid cases.
