Ouch. I'm aware costs are going up, fecking robbing b'strds. I'm finding it hard, and that's an understatement, to justify £10. I also don't see it as the customers job to pay for it. I'm out, where's that thread and a free swinging door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was there last Saturday it was first come first served, no bookings, with a 2 hour max stay per table. I’m assuming this was just because of the queues and it was first Saturday after opening.

oaksoft Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 All this sanctimonious crap about the words people are using on here reminds me that Sir Patrick Vallance once said that 20,000 deaths would be a "good outcome". Do the sanctimonious pricks on here genuinely think he opened a bottle of bubbly when we reached that total or are they capable of understanding the broad point that was being made? Honestly, why do so many functioning adults need soothing words and breastfeeding through a crisis? As FS says, it's a global pandemic. People die. Possibly even people you know. It's shit but it happens. Get a fecking grip the lot of you. I blame Dianafication for all this nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Remember when we were winning the First Division with Tom Hendrie? Did you know that more people were dying back in 99/00 than 19/20? Why weren’t all those deaths all over the news back then? Because, it’s just normal. That’s what happens. Very old people with terminal illnesses die. It happens to all of us. If I end up 85 years old with dementia in a care home, I certainly hope the world doesn’t stop in order to keep me alive for another few weeks.

The £5 covers a mask, a disposable towel (that is apparently hopeless and falls apart) and a disposable gown.

Here we are over a month later and where is the rise in infections due to all these selfish people? As always, I’ve been proved right, as always. Graph below produced by the Scottish government. Notice how the easing of restrictions and the introduction of masks have not made a single big of difference to the trajectory of the graph. Then again, you probably won’t. After all, you are one of King Canute’s courtiers 😂 Edited July 18, 2020 by Sue Denim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 £10? What PPE did you get for this extortionate amount? Unless I was in severe pain I'm afraid I'd have politely told them to shove it. Half of 1 of my tooth had broken, so to repair the tooth, I needed a large white filling. If I didn't, the rest of it could have broken and I would had needed a crown that would.have cost a lot more than the £45 I paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
