I forgot to add that this poll is British residents only

I went out on Friday afternoon.

Venue 1 - Mediterranean licensed cafe. Good spacing of tables, choice of inside or outside. Menus were online, accessed via a QR code. Staff all masked up. Not crowded but had a decent amount of people. Had something to eat and a carafe of rose.
Venue 2 - Italian wine bar / resturant. Inside only. Good table spacing. Paper menus. Staff masking a bit 50/50. Not crowded at all (slightly away from the Ken High Street main drag so it's always quiet). Had a couple of gins and some nibbles.
Venue 3 - Spanish pub / restaurant. Limited outside, mostly inside. Not as good table spacing but it's also not as big as the previous two places. Staff not masked. Not crowded but all spaces taken up safely. Had a beer and a gin.

In all places, the patrons were all behaving sensibly. Occupancy was monitored by the staff and all tables were throughly cleaned inbetween uses.

Did you have to fill out a form with contact details or scan a QR code in order for track and trace to be undertaken?

Venue 1 - they asked you to log into their Wifi for that, but didn't enforce it (I did).
Venue 2 - they asked you to fill in a form with your details.
Venue 3 - no

I am clearly doing a very bad job with my DOOM threads

So track and tracing can't be performed then. Seems all a bit weird how you can now go out but there is no way to notify you if you've been near the lurgy

Keep them going, my insomnia hasn't been much of a problem since you started doing them...

I don't recall it being compulsory to register your details with the venue you attend. I also don't think it's wholly effective unless you register with every shop you enter too. On our way out, we stopped at the greengrocers, the off license and waterstones before going to the first bar.

The registration is a bit of a privacy nightmare really. It's a GDPR burden I don't think any small business wants to take on unless it's compulsory.
