Someone doesn't need to go somewhere unnecessary, but to go there, they would need to travel. She should ask people not to do needless thing that will require travel.

Much safer ways to travel I agree. As long as places are open people will go there, regardless of government advice. They’ll also use buses and trains to get there. The new rules and recommendations will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official explanation is that if they were to allow the pubs on Arran to stay open then they would also have to impose travel restrictions to Arran to stop folk going over to enjoy the pubs, and they don't want to impose such restrictions. Not commenting on it, just passing on the info. Note that there are no travel restrictions between the central belt and the rest of Scotland.

In other parts of the country, pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes will be able to open indoors until 18:00 - but only to serve food and non-alcoholic drinks. However, they will be able to serve alcohol in outdoor settings such as beer gardens until 22:00, with the current rules on no more than six people from two households remaining in place. Cheers Graygo. Interesting that some folk picked this issue up earlier when first announced as 6 to 10 outside and so even this has been not 100% clear. I think it is a bit daft. South Queensferry pub shut all the time and a North Queensferry one with outdoor seating able to sell booze all day. Surely folk just jump on a 5 minute bus journey over the bridge if they are desparate for a pint and regardless of advise on use of public transport that will not stop them.

Then, come the next election repeat the trick and when the SNP leaflets land on the mat, your compliant voter is on board. There is a touch of the Ralph Halpern about all of this tbh. Although, pleading to the good nature of Old Firm fans not to have a house party is barely credible. A Rangers pub in Blackpool has already been inundated with calls from fans in Glasgow wanting to book tables to watch next week's game.
