No not unreasonable at all!

You are staying safe. They are taking risks.
I would think our NHS staff would prefer what you are doing.

It's up to you to do your own risk assessment and make your own decision. I'd probably go and try to sit a bit further away, wash my hands, not share anything e.g. crisps and try to enjoy it.

NotTooOld, you are being sensible. Why risk it? I bet there's little ventilation in there. Being fully vaccinated has reassured some people too much. You are still at some risk of a very nasty illness.

No you are not being unreasonable , plus you are quite ,rightly in my opinion , doing what feels right for you. Best wishes.

I think I’d be wary. Not worth taking risks. Could you make up an excuse?

I think you are going to have to give it a miss although I presume you are vacinnated but if you are going to worry is it worth it ?
I would be quite happy to go especially if I had already spent time indoors with this group but I already go out socially

I think we are all taking our own decisions at the moment. There are quite a few things that I do now which I did not do earlier in the pandemic - I feel that I have had three jabs and I am as safe as I can be for the moment - till a new variant makes its appearance here.

But I do not go to the pub - it is very crowded.

What's worrying you

You must do what you are comfortable with…

A U3A group I belong to regularly goes to the pub after an evening meeting. It is a small pub and we are a large group so we sit close together around one table for a drink and a chat. This generally lasts for about an hour. I am happy to go to the meeting where we can remain reasonably socially distanced but I don't want to go to the pub where we cannot. Other members seem to have no problem with the pub, so am I being unreasonable?
