Well the re-opening of pubs was a roaring success, in Blackburn at least.
Anita's son (Leam) used to work Saturday nights at his friend's pub before the lockdown. Last night he went back for the first time in four months. During the evening the police did spot checks on all of the town centre pubs, and one by one closed most of them down as the punters were really taking the piss, completely disregarding the measures the pubs were trying to implement.
By 9pm most were shut. Leam's pub voluntarily closed at 10pm as they could see where it was heading, with hordes of newly-ejected drinkers descending on the few remaining hostelries - the last couple of blokes entering seemed fine, but one went straight over to another man in the bar, punched him to the ground then left without even buying a drink.
I'll give it a week or two, then I reckon Boris Bed-hair will do a U-turn on the pubs thing. The out-of-town and eating pubs were probably behaving themselves, but it's another case of the dickheads ruining it for everyone, rather like Bournemouth last week.
