Not so much because I don't mind them, I'm passionately opposed to such government control of our lives. I just don't think it will work, not least because with vaccine uptake among ethnic minorities being far lower than among whites such a policy would be incredibly racially divisive and I don't think any government is going to be able to hold the line once they start getting accused of introducing some sort of apartheid regime. Thats not to say they won't try, but I see it collapsing pretty rapidly.Sobershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11407417389022146963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-4634015166653951272021-04-04T06:59:37.074+01:002021-04-04T06:59:37.074+01:00Sadly, the effort of just going to a pub, paying a...Sadly, the effort of just going to a pub, paying around a tenner for two drinks, wearing some sort of mask, sitting yards away from chums, seeing Doris behind the bar, wearing rubber gloves (heeuuugher), and generally thinking that we are enjoying ourselves is a thing of the past!<br /><br />I wouldn't want to waste money on posh road-kill-menu 'restaurants' either, so Senora O'Blene and I have reverted to the poor people of the underclass of yesteryear, who make the most of what we have, buy frugally, drink excessively at home, and just enjoy being old again!<br /><br />And if anyone recognises me from the pic on my driving licence, then they really need a visit to Specsavers!Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-85197584202305081252021-04-03T18:34:55.531+01:002021-04-03T18:34:55.531+01:00"So Mum and Dad can go into the restaurant or..."So Mum and Dad can go into the restaurant or cinema and the kids have to stay outside?"<br /><br />Are you old enough when pubs were like that?
