Back to the pub.

Just got back from having a spot of lunch in Tom & Jerry's in Ashton. Not to packed and Sun on the beer garden but a long way from normal?

Just drove past the local watering hole "The Robin Hood" Sandy Lane.. Orrell.... Its heyvin up outside must be 60 folk there.

Wetherspoon's in Westhoughton had a full 'beer garden' at the rear AND about twenty people queueing at the front!

Why?

'Why'?

perhaps some folk want to enjoy themselves

They used to say to folk who spent all their time in the pub.

"ast not getten a wom go too"

Are people that desperate, Picture in the Mirror showing a couple eating a meal outside and its SNOWING

The Boars Head is rammed, Alberts in Standish is busy but not as bad as I thought it would be. One or two places not open at all. I think we'll leave it until the novelty wears off.

Correct

I'll leave all of it, especially the eating and drinking outside. Not that desperate for a drink and even less desperate to eat food that's going to be cold within a few minutes of being served with it.
As for shopping, I'll leave that for a week or so until shops are less manic and no queues.

crazy times , you snatch someone's enjoyment and some will adjust and others will not adapt as easily, We have all reached a bend in our lives, some will crash , some will slow down and negotiate it, others never made it this far ,

Well put Tom

I can't understand the desperation of the people who where waiting for the clock to tick past midnight to drink their first pint outside in freezing conditions. Madness.

I think a lot of them do it to take a picture of themselves so they can put it on social media and become instant overnight"stars".
Brainless duckheads!

Hearing Wigan hasn't let us down. Reports of Mass violence at an Hostelry on Wigan Lane, not far from the Cemetery.

Off social media

Battlin' everywhere...

Send in the wasps.

Heard this Morning the police were called to the Boars Head at 21:00 ( ish ) to reports of fighting. Apparently it was shut down. Not good, day 1 and its kicked off already. As I said earlier, we'll wait until the novelty has worn off.

Boars Head eh !

Well it is in a rough area

well there's only that one close to the cemetery.

All these people at one table as well...definitely not 2 households....even on the news you can see the 2 household rules is not being adhered to...

Five Police vans attended the Boars Head

Much quieter on Tuesday,

What i cannot get my head around with all this ballyhoo about gettingto the pub to have the first pint for ages is this ! HAVE these idiots not been able to buy beer /wine from off-licences /asda etc it's not as if they had been deprived of alcohol for the last 3/4 months is it??? It makes me think we must be a nation of alcoholics just behave with yourselves its not the end of the world just yet ... GB.

Plenty people have friends they have known for years simply from going in the pub. I know loads of folk through meeting in pubs and clubs in the past and this friendship as lasted. Not all people go to the pub just to consume ale!

“ Not all people go to the pub just to consume ale” Glory be. We learn something every day.

I really though that was the prime function of a pub.

Stella lager must think this is the good old USA. They are advertising buy a drink and give the bar staff a ONE POUND tipAle is dear enough without being expected to give a £1 tip. People tip at thier discetion in the main in this country.

Stella are giving the £1 tip, not the customer.

Angelwood I have read about the brewery giving up to £1/2 million pounds to pubs that have signed up but the advert looks like it is the customer who is putting the tip into a jar not the bar person

To Celebrate Pubs Reopening

Boars Head eh !

Well it is in a rough area

your right there, tommy lad.

So I take you both don't go in then

WN1 It's a long way from Norley Hall Estate !!! That rough area behind the shops

too rough for me, plus a lot of 10 bob millionaires.

A lot of real one's go in too Basil. Very popular with the landed gentry :)

They're line astern waiting to get into the gazebo again tonight, but there seems to be a doorman letting them in when there's space. Could be a long night !

The covid wards are nearly empty now, but I'm afraid A&E going to be busy, very busy!!!!! one lad crawling up our road with shorts on drunk as a skunk, , that'll be one for them, or mummy's got plenty TCP and bandages lol ???? Oh and paracetemol lol ????
