In hindsight the nazis winning might have been nae so bad, amazing work ethic and the stuff they make is top notch. Great beer makers as well. They'd need to cut out the bad stuff, can't be having concentration camps and killing people you don't like, think if they dropped that side it could have worked. 1 Link to comment

I don’t doubt that alcohol intake at home has increased especially since the pubs have been fucking shut. So the Beeb find an extreme to justify a negative story about everyone on furlough pissing it up every night. I imagine most folk have been having a ball. Link to comment

It might Help some social drinker cut down I suppose but if you are a raging alchie it’s nae making any fucking difference if cans are up by 10p. "So that's about increasing taxation, introducing, for example, a minimum unit price, but it's also addressing advertising, marketing and things like labelling so consumers have a real choice, and understand what alcohol includes.

tommo1903 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Legislation Physical distancing duties are set out in regulation 4(1) of the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions) (Scotland) Regulations 2020. A person who is responsible for carrying on a business or providing a service must take all reasonable measures: to ensure that a distance of at least 2 metres is maintained (or 1 metre in hospitality settings) between any persons on the premises (except between two members of the same household, or a carer and the person assisted by the carer) Completely unworkable and absolute nonsense, but thats the guidance. They have definitely been told no more than 3 households at a table Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Yeah it was the households thing I was meaning. I think that's the punters job rather than expecting bar staff to be checking who lives with who. Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I know of places that were asking for proof of address and not allowing more than 3 to a table, anyway. Load of shit tbh. Link to comment
