That's a handy new feature, from that I can see Worthing is on 69.7% of adults having had the first dose, slightly behind the national average 69.9%, but second doses are well ahead, being 46.9% compared to 39%, reflecting the slightly higher percentage of older people to the national average.

Just looked at the figures for the 'hot spot' of Bolton, there it's 63.2% / 36.2%, which is down on the nationals figures, but bloody good compared to Brighton & Hove City at 52.7% / 26.6%, which is worrying as the Indian variant is there & it's only 12 miles up the coast. 
Yes, there appears to be a real issue in low take up in some boroughs.

I'm quite interested in whether the per location data thats now on the dashboard gives people a different sense of how low the rates of first dose vaccinations per day have been since they really ramped up second doses.
I havent looked at many areas, but certainly in my town the different is quite stark. The following graph is what I'm n about for my area, and shows daily first doses (on the site there is a button to see second doses instead)

I don't think so. He'll likely be given a choice between az and a different one which will be either pz or moderna. I think we still have much more pz jabs so probably most likely that but it really is just whatever that particular vaccination centre has on that day.
Iirc giving the under 40's an option of az or another was something they aim to do for as many as possible but there was a caveat that it may not be possible for everyone. This being the case he may just be offered az but it does seem unlikely.

When levels are fairly low though one localised outbreak can do that. From the link there that's a rise of 18 cases, not a massive number in the scheme of things, it could easily be related to one workplace or something like that.
You're right of course but we're all a bit scarred from the last 15 months. Local outbreaks have most often led to a much larger problem. Obviously we all hope it will be different this time but its hard to shrug off the feeling of an impending problem.
Germany imposing quarantine on travellers from UK: health institute
Germany will impose a quarantine on people arriving from Britain due to the spread there of the coronavirus variant first found in India, the Robert Koch health institute said Friday.

I'm just about to go to a shopping centre for the first time in getting on for 18 months. Bit nervous about it tbh. Are people wearing masks in these places?

This was not a quality/artisan burger, served fully garnished and even with a side or two. This was more fairground grade - which is the stock-in trade of the company supplying the market/outdoor structures.
I wouldn’t even rate Five Guys as the bottom end of posh - any burger I’ve had from them has been poor and their much-vaunted chips are not that special either. Other than you do get a lot. Nothing on a half-decent chipper though.

IME, yes. Compliance is pretty decent, although a generation of kids appear to have worked out that you are allowed to pull your mask down for drinking, so go around with their masks round their chin and a bottle of pop wedged near-permanently in their gobs - which must be so hygienic!
Also saw my first full-on hen party pouring out of a pub today - there was no way this lot were complying with the guidelines (nor were the pub staff taking pics of them), unless they had worked-in a particularly drink sodden wedding or funeral!

I've disliked her since eearly in the pandemic when she tried to bat away the WHOs 'test,test,test' message by claiming that stuff was for poor countries, countries the UK helps out in a paternalistic fashion.
