From my understanding the prevailing attitude is all a bit plandemic so not much hope of changing minds to help build any alliances. Hopefully putting her concerns in writing will be enough to get the owner / manager to take their responsibilities seriously, if only through fear of potential consequences.
I sympathize. We have had a pretty decent risk assessment at my work (retail) and have got a so called "covid-champion" in each branch, i.e. a staff member who isn't management to keep an eye on potential risks and flag them up etc. We have also been given an email address to potentially raise issues in confidence with people higher up the food chain, if we don't feel that we can raise concerns with our own branch or regional management, or that the concerns are being ignored.
In practice however and on a human interaction/group dynamic level, it's much more complex and tricky if you (I mean me) are the only person who takes distancing really seriously, if there isn't a strong culture of mask wearing and you look like the odd one out, or are the one person to continually back away from others...

Haha, I have just realised that rain is one of the few things I remember how to mention in Welsh. Mae hi'n bwrw glaw. Well, that, plus "road closed" and "the photocopier isn't working".

Yet it's a bit bizarre really, given the excellent weather we've just been having at the weekend, for the rain to choose Welsh National Beer Opening Day to return
There's an OK pub in town here with a very large garden which we're considering going to on Thursday (forecast for then is dry, for the moment). Partly to meet friends ......
But overall, I don't see ourselves going to pubs much until they open properly (Monday 3rd August onwards) -- the small number of decent Swansea pubs lack gardens

NeverSpoons.
Avoid Spoons pubs and find an indy local.

Would be interesting to know how strictly that (good) app/site defines 'independent' in terms of local Not-Wetherspoons pubs.
I've posted before about how some other not-far-off-as-evil big 'pubcos' can misleadingly disguise their places as 'free houses'
Also good for searching for pubs is What Pub? (CAMRA).
Admittedly it includes any pubs, even non-ale-friendly ones or Spoons (
), but in cities especially, it's pretty easy to work out which nearby pubs to a not-so-good one are independent, and good for beer

Has anyone else downloaded neverspoons and subsequently had issues with CooTek?
I have just been out by CooTek news update shit which I now can't get rid of. I understand that this is a "service" that attaches itself to an app which is downloaded from playstore and can show itself weeks later. This is only one of two apps I have downloaded recently, the other is Young's.
is it this, should people be warned and how do I get rid of it, it's everywhere

Talk of closing pubs to ensure safe opening of schools
Yes we can't have our cake and eat it.

Just asking, not defending the way pubs have opened -- and it would be interesting to know what they might be 'planning' and how .....
(Pubs are about to open in Wales, or at least some of them -- Monday 3rd August).

The idea probably started to gain attention publicly because of stuff Whitty said in the press conference yesterday about trade-offs and how we've probably reached the limits of what relaxations we can get away with, so if we want to do additional stuff in future we might have to give up other things in return, in order to keep the balance the same overall.
Since the press picked up on that concept, others have spoken on the theme and so now we have the likes of this as current BBC news website lead story right now:

A "trade-off" may be needed in England amid a rise in cases, a scientist advising the government says.

It comes from what Chris Whitty said at this point in the press conference yesterday: youtu.be/wV8lRh5VcvQ?t=1908

In addition to the truth of the 'trade-offs' concept in our response to this pandemic, of which there is plenty, its also a handy way to frame u-turns when you realise your previous relaxations went too far. When it comes to schools as part of the delicate balance, there are also the obvious opportunities to thwart criticism of the policy by attaching certain value priorities to the 'trade-off choice'.

It is not the governments fault. It is the BAME community and Europe.

Oh come on, it's not like they could have forseen the need to reopen schools in September.
