    I was in the pub today with some pals I hadn't seen for a long time. It was good.

    Why the question mark? It was in response to your and others' po-faced posts about other people's behaviour.

    I had probably eight pints of Guinness accompanied by a truly disgusting microwave pizza, but the point is that I was with my friends. I really couldn't give a **** how selfish some people might consider that to be.

    the only place empty down there would have been the pub

    I don’t think that’s selfish. I’ve been out the country for three months and in a real lockdown for six weeks. Excited just to do basic things like see a few people for a drink. Would be nice to blag a ticket to Rangers at some point but can’t see that happening this season.

    People will argue going to a busy Christmas market in a tier three area is selfish but why the **** is it open in the first place if the area is that fragile? If you’re going to open it at all, like the beaches and the parks, you have to expect people to go there rather than arrive and calculate there are too many people per square metre and turn around.

    S
    Those who go in their droves either think it's irrelevant and pointless and they'll be damned if it's going to stop them. Or they arrive, are disgusted at just how selfish others are and then decide to stay because what they want to do is incredibly important. Christmas shopping and getting pissed with their mates. It's their right to do so innit. They all know how to use the Internet and chat to their mates by social media but where's the fun in that?

    Personally, I'm still waiting for Stroller to point out that the photos of crowds of Christmas shoppers have all been taken from a particular angle which deceives and in fact there were only 500 people in the whole of Oxford Street.at any time over the weekend.

    If it’s unsafe and will contribute to the spread, which I’m sure it is and will, you either don’t let it happen at all by not opening or you have to regulate it in some way to stop more than X people being in area Y, which is virtually impossible. A Christmas market could be all-ticket I guess and probably should be but not the West End.

    I don’t think random people can be blamed for going shopping if they are adhering to the regulations put on them.

    Getting pissed in close contact with people if it’s contravening the ‘bubble’ rules is a different issue. I’ve honestly lost track of what I will and won’t be able to do legally when I’m back.

    Social distancing guidance is still in place as far as I know.

    Not much evidence of that in these recent pictures.

    Surely, for one Christmas, people can change their shopping and social routines?

    Mike Yeadon talking to James Delingpole (I know some will have stopped reading at that second name). He pulls no punches here, goes further than he has on talk radio. It’ll take up nearly 2 hours of your time, but I think it’ll be worth it.

    This is pretty much all Yeadon accusing Vallance of lying to us all, even challenging him to take him to court, telling us how immunity works, telling us the realities of the enormity of the false positive rate of the PCR test and much more.

    I really advise people to take the time to listen, Ellers, you can break it down into 45 second tranches, you’ll be finished by Halloween.

    I believe this guy is telling us the truth

    In India it’s usually something to do with adulterated cooking oil or similar.


    Anyway, it’s the wife’s birthday, and as we can’t go out where we live, the champagne has been opened early and is being downed at an alarming rate. Fizzy wine is one of those drinks that goes straight to my head, so I will try to avoid posting, but if I do apologies in advance if I have a Strolls moment. :emoticon-0105-wink:
