You can't just go to the pub and sit with anyone. We went to our local last night. Contact details were taken at the door. We had to sanitise our hands. They have a one way system. No groups of more than five. Our group all had to enter at the same time. No one is allowed to join you at your table. No standing was allowed except for going to the bar or the toilet. We (and most other people) ordered from an app. The tables are spaced apart. Once every table is full, no one else is allowed in. If the pub is full, they limit the time you are allowed to stay. It was very well organised.

So in Manchester, you can now be sacked if you refuse to go to work too close to someone - and you can be fined £100 for sitting next to that someone in your home - and then get official Money Off vouchers to go and sit with anyone in a crowded pub or restaurant.

All our Muslim friends who were stopped from celebrating Eid yesterday with their families should have gone to the pub then- sorted ;)
