Guest Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If I'm understanding this properly, we've went from a 16 day shutdown of hospitality, to that being extended to next Monday to it then being a tiered system where most of the country still has a hospitality shutdown. Anything approaching normal for the hospitality industry is miles away.. Probably only when there is a vaccine rolled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must face FACTS and be frightened to speak to neighbours, friends and colleagues. We need to be encouraged to hide away in homes and only go,out to hit pots and pans protecting the NHS.

Victorian Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The tiers do appear to be very strict. Looks like they're going very hard on hospitality and the same arguments will be offered regarding how much spread is going on in hospitality settings. It should be remembered that hospitality is being singled out because it's really the only area that they can exert control over and police it. It's the one controllable area. It's pretty brutal but it's not hard to see why it's being targeted. Looks mum & dad for going for a bevvy any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Jambo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If people can’t go to the pub/restaurant for months or decide they won’t go due to the curfews/alcohol restrictions then they will simply start visiting the houses of friends and family as many people simply won’t go months again without seeing anyone. And yet in hospitality venues social distancing measures can be enforced and checked upon but inside people’s homes there is no control. The government have got this all wrong. People need an outlet to see each other, surely better to have one that can be rigorously controlled and monitored than the free for all of being in someone’s home unchecked.

It's better than a blanket ban - allows those who want to try and get by serving food or acting more as a cafe to do so. Not sure many will take the SG up on that offer however it's clear if they didn't allow this they would be shut until next year based on tiers. Also allows for places to diversify - for example the club in Livingston which was doing kids events but couldnt as it was a licensed premise can now do so.
