Hospitality businesses, having been the first and hardest hit by the virus, will also be the last allowed to re-open. Without some extraordinary measures, we estimate that more than half of hospitality businesses and as many as 2 million jobs will not survive.#nationaltimeout

My mother gently rocks her head in the nursing home and I know somewhere in her mind she is still the grammar school girl from Camberwell Green, dancing, kissing sailors in Trafalgar Square. It is VE Day and the rest of the century is hers.

So who is opening next Saturday?? What a nightmare trying to put numbers control in place without offending folk or enforcing time limits is. #headaches

It’s amazing how much difference to a nights takings it makes, losing that last hour. The rules on masks for staff are horrendous too but we keep going....

So after only one weekend these new rules are causing issues. Less hours means less takings and now looking like having to employ more staff to ease the issues with table service. Add to that the issues of constantly monitoring people’s behaviour, this is now not enjoyable!!

How do you know who lives in what household and what are the punishments if you have people from different house sitting together? Very vague Government rules that are so hard to enforce.

If Andy Burnham can say no to Parliament, when is Andy Street going to do the same?

Sums it up....
