The Marshall would probably stand around all day, hands in his pocket or on his phone having a laugh and a joke just reminding folk it's 1m social distancing and households 'should' sit across from each other.

 

Easy money.

 

Then the one person comes in, needs the whole world to revolve around them, makes a scene and is refused entry or asked to leave.

Think it’ll be a while before night clubs are opened ! Can’t even see normal pubs getting passed 1030 pm closure for a long time either ! This current Govt hasn’t got a great relationship with the hospitality industry

It's quite easy in quarantine tbf. 

 

3 or 4 prison workouts spread throughout the day, and half an hour of Joe Wickes for a bit of seethe. 

 

Benefits offset somewhat by the beer and wine each night, mind.

I'm not sure whether the SG or WM could have been convinced otherwise to separate hospitality out so that for example a glass of wine or a drink with a meal in a restaurant environment could be separated from says pubs, but then that is prejudicing within the same industry.  (Of course there was what is a cafe debate late last summer, autumn and what determined a main meal)

 

Maybe as with foreign travel, test, track and trace, if we had followed the NZ, Australia model as close as was logistically possible, we could have had far more internal economy open and that income derived to the exchequer instead could be diverted elsewhere to support those that can't.

Come on James, I'd a retort where I noted 43.5m vaccines in the UK had been administered and folk were turning up in their millions with their appointment letters; confirmation emails, screenshots, reference number written down on gas bills, post-it notes, back of hand but naturally you had to turn up with 🐓 all.

Taking documentation would appear the obvious thing to do...that said I don't think I've ever taken any of the things you listed above to any NHS appointment I've attended over my 16 years as an adult.

 

Do other people normally do that?

Completely true . I’ve attended various hospital appointments etc and no need for I’d .

[DETTY29]

In amongst all the bickering about hospitality social distancing guidelines that haven't changed from last time, are the same in England, as they were last time, the vast number of venues who set tables within 1m social guidelines as best they could, but didn't always check household parameters, knowing some people would and others wouldn't self comply.....

 

Has anyone had a 1st Moderna vaccine at the Gyle and what was required afterwards about sitting about for 15  minutes? Everyone, none, drivers only?

 

Also, if you got an AZ first dose at the Gyle (1st March to 18th April), please check your second dose letter carefully as I doubt your 2nd dose will be there.

15 minute wait for everyone.

[DETTY29]

Scotsmen has put a little bit up about what to expect.

 

Note outdoors till 10pm subject to all licensing laws.  I'm sure a lot of Edinburgh with non private venue gardens had a 9pm cut off (Rose Street, Grassmarket).  Perhaps CEC has been on ball and given some short term leeway to extend.

Just a note for all (unless plans changed over weekend) if you are called to go to Gyle now for first vaccine, it is will be Moderna, so you need to sit around for 15 minutes.  

 

Previous 6 weeks was AZ and only drivers were asked to do 15 mins, which folk have noted in here a few times.

 

There was also talk of updating blue envelope letters and you would be told in the letter what vaccine you would be getting.

I have never been asked to take ID to a NHS appointment in my life or requested to provide ID for a NHS appointment. I was not requested to either in my vaccination invite. I only received a text no letter.

 

I don’t really carry a wallet around with me nowadays, I have a phone which I can pay for things etc. 

 

I didn’t take any ID to my vaccination and it was a pain. Ended up having to show social media and bank accounts to various people to get through it. My wife and father in law both received there without letters, texts messages or ID. Where as I was ID like a 15 year old trying to get into a booozers.🤷🏻‍♂️

 

If they want people to take ID they need to say, its not a normal or implied requirement when dealing with NHS. Usually address, DOB and medical practice is all you need.

 

Interesting, and inconsistent with every other NHS appointment but it does make sense to take ID I guess. I'd never thought about it before and it's actually quite odd that you don't have to take ID to other NHS appointments. Maybe something that will come in on the back of this.

 

For something like an appointment I'd usually see on the letter where and when it was, put it in my calendar then put the letter in the bin...which sounds like in this instance may have led me to experience some issues!!

Just my age I suppose, but if I'm booked for anything I take the letter, have the email, confirmation text handy and open.

 

In the grand scheme of things if there is a problem, if you have it is more likely to get sorted quickly, if not risks more stress and anxiety.

 

In reality, may or may not, but it's the perception that can stress folk out.

Unless the centre was heaving, which they aren't just now, I think you came up against a real jobsworth.

 

Name, DOB and address will find 'your' appointment on the system (if the appt is booked in) and as you will have turned up at roughly the correct time, they will know it is you beyond any reasonable doubt.

 

As long as it was explained that as you didn't have the letter or a reference number, if you weren't on the appointment system for that day, you wouldn't get a jag and you'd have to call up the hotline to find out what was wrong, would seem a fair enough approach.

Don't think it's an age thing, I do that for most things. Booking confirmation email saved, reference number to hand etc out of fear of a cock up...just not with letters as I hate carrying about paperwork.

 

The anomaly though is the NHS, I've never done any of the above for going to the doctor or a hospital appointment, I've always just turned up. 

 

ID should really be all you need for any appointment anywhere as if they've sent you a letter, text, email then they already know you have an appointment; proving you're that person is all you need to do...if only it always went that smoothly 😂😂

Well he was a jobsworth and I was pretty anxious too about getting the jag and my heart was racing a bit so it wasn’t pleasant . Like u say it’s irrelevant if I had the letter as  on their computer . “ the computer says yes “ !😂

Oh I’m awful when travelling abroad as I continually check I have my passport on my before leaving house and then multiple times at the airport . Prob mild form of ocd 

It's always a good idea to check your passport multiple times in case you fall out with a partner.

A guy I used to work with fell out with his partner. 

He was going on a jollies and when he got to the airport he did have his passport but unfortunately she had ripped out the important bits of the passport. 😭

Today's trend stats. The good news is that I've been able to reconstruct the missing council data from 16 April using the sample data (thanks to FootballFirst for the original conversations and then to John from Travelling Tabby for carrying on the conversation and also for providing the historic data that allowed me to make the calculations). I shouldn't have had to do this (here's looking at you, SG) but ho hum.

Yes, today's figures of 2,523 first doses and 50,388 second doses clearly indicates how this is being played out, imo. Unless there's an influx of vaccine supplies, vaccination of the not-at-risk segment of the younger generations will generally wait until there is confidence that we have enough vaccines to complete the second doses within the allotted number of weeks, a confidence which we will only have further on in the second vaccination process.

I had a girlfriend once who, after we broke up, said that she was on the verge of ripping out the last pages of all my books so that she could have the delicious thought of my reading one, finding the last page ripped out and then, realising what had happened, going through my other books only to find them all in the same state. Fortunately, she didn't go through with it.

Oh tell me about it ! My partner and I have rather a tempestuous relationship at times, think “ who’s afraid of Virginia Wolfe “?
 

 And I wouldn’t put it past them doing that ! Maybe that’s why I check it all the time. Hmmmmm 👀👀👀 got me thinking . 😂

No. We're still good friends all these years later though. I have an inkling that might not be the case if she had gone through with it.
