One Step Forward ... Two Steps Back?

[Dave_]

Here in Leeds I had just started to visit bars again.
I thought it was nice to get a friendly welcome, no hassle, and the table service seemed OK.

Tonight was different:
"Have you booked a table". "No" "Table xx is empty, but we have a reservation in 20 minutes".

Fortunately, the next bar had a table available and allowed me to write my name, (Donald Trump) in a filthy ledger by the door. Wonder how many virally infested individuals had handled the pen before me. The wine was almost a quid cheaper for a large glass as well.

The buggers rang last orders at 9:20 PM. Everybody needed to be outside before 10:00. Neither rhyme nor reason for this madness.

Neither rhyme nor reason for this madness.

Quite so, ... nor for legislation that prevents folk from visiting members of their own families' houses.
