If only there was some way we could have predicted this. If only the pub quizzes weren't so sublime that people would just break the locks and pub anyway if they were closed. Alas, we have to face the reality. Is it my round? Anyone for scampi fries?

If you watched Countryfile yesterday they touched on the pubs being opened, and the whole host of businesses that rely on them being opened, distilleries, craft brewers, farmers ....its not just whey hey lets get a pint, there are livelihoods at stake here

better for young people to gather in a pub where their details are taken rather than in a field with a bottle of cider or at a rave
