I imagine you'll only have to book at weekends in most boozers - you can always get a seat weeknights in most pubs can't you?
Ministers target July 4th for reopening of England’s pubs and restaurants

I thought this was pretty universal, but we were talking about it on here at the start of lockdown and it seems not.
Come to think of it, I remember being surprised to hear that you needed a license for dancing in some places...

Jersey City is to New York what Croydon is to London, basically. I had the dubious pleasure of staying there ages ago. There isn't much to commend it. But the area has nice hot summers. No reason not to sit/stand outside with your drinks.
Absolutely.
I really dislike all of that too, however much I like going to the pub generally.
Meaning certain pubs-- you always have to be pretty choosy, in my far-too-long experience ....

Here in Wal;es, the discussion is for now no more than academic -- I haven't seen any signs here so far of any pub re-opening plan, even just for outside drinking.
I miss them, a lot
, but like several posting above, I'm not in too much hurry ......
A safer pub environment will be worth the delay, plus atm I'm saving money!

For most Spoons places, they might as well be!
The proportion of Wetherspoons that have toilets either right in the basement, or up at least one! big flight of stairs, is really high .......

A mate runs a security firm, they mainly do static sites, i.e. building sites, office buildings, etc.
They have been inundated with calls from pubs looking for security staff, and at least one council wanting them to do mobile patrols around various local pubs to make sure they are keeping within the rules.

It's a toss up between this and the toilet chaperones as to which idea I dislike the most. I don't want to be constantly surveilled while I'm having a drink. And I don't want to have to put my hand up to go to the loo. Think this has decided it for me. It's wine in the park for the foreseeable.

TBF, if he has 'door safe' people he will provide them, it's basically just providing doormen, which plenty of large pubs have anyway, it's just not a sector they have got into before.
Regarding the inquiry from that council, they just wanted pubs checked out, not what drinkers are doing, but what landlords are doing to keep their premises safe, and report back for possible enforcement action, licences are at risk if pubs don't control their premises.

I don't think the plan is for them to go in with you, and hold it for you.

I always go in a cubicle anyway so I can sit down

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Its the noise levels I can't cope with on a night out, I end up sitting there nodding and pretending I can understand a word anyones fucking saying.
In general I'm not a fan of it, I get overwhelmed easily, its also the aspect of cafes and going shopping I find most annoying when they've got stuff churning away in the background.
Brave man, I've seen the state of pub cubicles.
They're always up several flights of stairs, along at least one corridor, second on the left. Or if you happen to be on the same floor, through a maze of tables, left by the pillar, round the corner, near the fire exit.

The Spoons here has the bogs in the middle of the warehouse in which you drink. Always clean and with a massive mirror at one end. We shan’t be returning to that place though, plenty nicer places to spend our dough.
I reckon there will be mass punch ups and aggro and all round unpleasantness in towns and cities up and down the country on Saturday.
I live in a seaside town, the hotels and B&Bs are opening up and so are the visitor attractions. I am glad I'm not A&E staff or a police officer or a bouncer, because it's going to be carnage. I am hoping for rain and thunder and lightning, so it will only be the local loonies giving it large. If it's sunny, we'll be locked down in no time.

New Jersey has now shelved plans to allow people back inside restaurants and bars, New York is considering the same.
"Unfortunately, the national situation, compounded by instances of knucklehead behavior here at home, are requiring us to hit pause on the restart of indoor dining for the foreseeable future. "
N.J. restaurants NOT reopening for indoor dining this week after ‘knucklehead’ crowds at bars ruin it for everyone
Indoor dining was set to reopen on Thursday, ahead of the July 4th weekend, but Gov. Phil Murphy pulled the plug on Monday citing concerns it could cause a coronavirus surge.

Good job I've got no friends here, apart from a squirrel and an 85 year old. Except my flatmates seem to be excited about going to pubs, and it's near impossible to social distance when you share a kitchen.
One of the biggest and realest insanities to me is re-opening pubs in England on a bloody Saturday ....... 
That anecdote posted further up about not re-opening a particular pub until the Monday afterwards, made so much more sense from the landlord's point of view -- or from that of anyone else sensible!

No mention of signing in with your contact details? Maybe the pub just assumes everyone knows that, or it's been scrapped as an idea?

Wasn't that bit mostly press speculation? I remember reading articles about it but I don't think I ever heard anything official.

I'm not sure now, I thought being able to trace people was the carrot being dangled. TBH I'm not sure now if we can trace people.
It's as though Bojo called a brainstorming sesh to think of a way to end furlough and encourage the minions back on the bus, but a haircut and a ploughmans lunch was the best they could muster.
