I agree that it is essential that children return to school, I’m not sure I see the correlation with pubs though. Around here the pubs & bars are mainly frequented by the very young, and so statistically less likely to have children, or those older who’s children are grown up.
I do feel incredibly sorry for the almost 500,000 people employed by pubs though. Having only received 80% of their income for 3 months, a couple of months of full pay will not have been enough to get them back on their feet. The thought of going back to reduced wages again indefinitely, must be terrifying.
