Wasn't that Hancock?

He probably said it too but remember, everything with Johnson is world beating, even if it isn't

The fatal delusions of Boris Johnson

[ladymuck]

I didn't go out on day 1 but instead waited a week as I wasn't in a huge rush.

Not likely to go out as regularly as I did but will definitely make the effort to support the businesses I usually do.

[jayn200]

Probably been to 7 or 8 places, most places seem to have seating outside which is very low risk.

Innteresting split of answers - those who wanted to go out already done so, others (50%) are staying in for a while.

How many of your friends have declined an invitation for dinner @ chez Alexei? If it's more than one, we know you're lying about how many friends you have...

[Mordac]

Well you have to do it here (so GDPR shouldn't be that much of an issue) although not in shops but there is also a working app here too. Remember Johnson said the UK had the best track and trace system in the world, obviously not true

Why would you bring your own food to AndyW's mum when she does all the eating?

[GigiBronz]

Went to one near Chelmsford city centre.
Everything went fine, people seemed sensible. Was not keen on going but I have some acquaintances in the area that haven't seen for some time.

One quite disturbing idea I've heard was the owner claiming that: local band for local people. They will try to keep everything local. Whatever that is.
I was chatting with a friend in the bathroom and there was a guy that asked us about "our dialect", he seemed upset we were talking in a different language. :|
Hope the uncertainty and fear induced by covid has not triggered a new wave of protectionism and xenophobia in the already weak and brainwashed minds of local fauna.

You didn't say that it's officially for British residents only.

[NotAllThere]

I forgot to add that this poll is British residents only

You didn't say that it's officially for British residents only. So, two weeks ago I went to the pub- had 3 pints of guiness and fish and chips with mushy peas. Traditional food for the Brit abroad.

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.

No business wants Covid to be traced to their premises.

And then there is this - Coronavirus: 'Almost half' of Blackburn Covid-19 contacts not reached - BBC News

[ladymuck]

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

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

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