I miss the cinema way more than the pub.
He said it will be down to the landlords right? If that’s they case it won’t happen [emoji106]

Major pub chains got up to speed earlydoors. Do that QR thing on the door else write your (or any fake/'comedy' name) in a book also on the door. Can't see much changing other than the QR code thing gets swapped out in favour of the Covid passport thing
And nor should it. My medical condition / history is none of the landlords business - it's between me and my GP.

I was thinking perhaps we could have a sheep dip outside full of dettol that you swim through first before being allowed in.
No faffing with passports.
I would also have a ladies-only policy, and I would be ready with towels to help out.........whos first then?

The article I saw suggested there would be 2 types of pub. 1 without checks but would be subject to the rule of 6 and table service and those with checks that would be like a pre COVID boozer without masks but with the ability to chat to the pub bore. That's fair enough isn't it? Drinkers and Landlords have a choice.
Looks like it’ll piggyback on the existing NHS app which has 1m+ android downloads already.
I think it’ll be a great thing for indoors gigs & nightclubs where folk get very very close together. I can see this happening.

It shouldn't happen at all.
The public should be fighting against this happening.
All these are is an attempt to bring in electronic ID cards and tech driven mass state surveillance.
It is also way of forcing people to take a vaccine who don't want to take it but it will also exclude those from society who can't take the vaccine creating a two tier society.
Take the vaccine by all means but don't be fooled into thinking these passports are a passport to freedom and normality because they will eventually turn into something completely the opposite.
I am 100 percent against the idea.

Don't kid yourself. ID cards are already here by stealth. The list of things you can't do in this country unless you have a passport or driving licence (and millions of people, for various reasons, don't) is growing all the time.

I can almost hear Alan Partridge saying that.A passport to 'Pass Port'.
"On this morning's phone-in, we ask: "Covid checks at pubs - A passport to 'pass port' or a poor sport's idea that's 'piss poor'. You decide".
So the younger people who have yet to receive a vaccine because of a Government decision will end up being actively discriminated against?

I'm glad I don't work as a barman anymore. Not as glad as the customers, but glad nonetheless.

Yeah, potential scenario of lots of staff not being vaccinated due to their age, so it's unlikely to work/be enforced.
The landlord in my local, an eminently sensible and cautious bloke, says he won't be asking for proof- though admittedly it is an old man's boozer where everyone knows each other anyway
