The scientist seem to be saying that we will avoid a third wave of the pandemic, let’s hope so. Unfortunately I am not so sure given the behaviour in the local last night. People started off on their tables of 6 but after a few drinks there was plenty if mixing between tables and social distancing went out of the window. Many of the patrons looked too young to have had the jab yet and they were the worst offenders. Hopefully being outside will have helped but it will be interesting to an eye on the infection rates on the next few weeks.
The prices in our local have also increased sharply since the latest lockdown. We have a cheap and not so cheerful Merlot which has gone from £15 to £20. I know they have had a rough time of it, but if they want to encourage their regulars back regularly, this is not the way to go |  | | |  |

I was amazed to see a young lady on the news last night saying that she was looking forward to her visit to Primark yesterday morning. Thinking back to a quote about the Duke of Kent, “a life well lived”, I wonder if an immediate post lockdown trip to Primark would have been on his bucket list? | | | |

Has the Duke of Kent died now as well? |  |

Walked passed one in town today, amazing that so many people couldn't wait to buy cheap bad clothing made in sweatshops in Asia, that and cheap lager seems to be all people missed | | | |

It's mostly a certain sector of young people, who are very immature (self consumed, irresponsible and selfish), as we have seen over the last few days once again. But with so many people vaccinated, especially 99% of those likely to die or be very ill, we shouldn't see any problems for the NHS. Infections will probably rise, but probably only temporarily.
During the summer last year, the infection levels were very low, and that was when nobody was vaccinated, plus they were all mixing. So the summer months should see low infections anyway, when it's warm and nobody is mixing too much inside. We shall see, but the warm weather should be here soon, we can all open windows etc etc, so I can't see a third wave.
The only slight concern for me is when we all start travelling again and possibly bring back a nasty variant. But again, I assume the scientists will be keeping an eye and updating vaccines, ready for winter. [Post edited 13 Apr 2021 15:36]

You don’t get cheap lager in pubs, sunshine. |  |

The curve was at the bottom from June until end of September. Pubs and the like opened up beginning of July. I’d argue the infection rate was more down to schools and universities returning and people who “desperately” needed that summer holiday last August/September.
I must be unlucky but a trip to any pub near me last year was like a visit to a police state. “Sit down” or “mask on” to anybody that moved etc. I thought the Stasi had finally found gainful employment after all these years. |  |

We certainly are getting some people enjoying the power, that's for sure. Certain characters loving telling us to sit down etc! The big question too, is will we get back to "normal" from July? Can we go to away games next year, can we sell 32 k tickets. Hope we can back to normal. Otherwise, again I can think of a few over zealous stewards telling us all what to do at St Mary's - "Where you going, sit down, stop singing, put your hand up if you need the toilet, one at a time"
But having said that, pub landlords have said today that they are in a difficult position. They could lose their licence and selfish people are breaking the rules. [Post edited 13 Apr 2021 16:25]

Whatever floats your boat, be that queueing to get into Primark or desperate to go a a watch a bunch of millionaires kick a football about.
For me it will be to get to the cricket in July, see my family in May, getting my hair cut on Friday and going to the pub as soon as it’s not bloody for freezing. | | | |

Driving around various parts today. I notice quite a few pubs not yet open but with signs outside saying will be at end of April or early May as, I'm guessing. it just won't be worth it until it does start to get a bit warmer | | | |

I think it’s a really difficult one for them. There is still not much of a foot fall in town or out and about for them to buy in beer knowing that they 100 per cent be able to sell it all and not waste it and lose money.
I think a lot of them will wait til the 17th May when they’ll be able to judge if there has been another spike. Although as others have said everything thought there’d be a spike when the schools went back and then at Easter but the numbers are still going down.
We have less than 20 cases per 100,000 people in Eastleigh (the borough, not the town) which is as low as it’s been since last Summer. | | | |

Rightly so. Cheap throwaway clothing, badly made by underpaid workers in horrible conditions.
People should WANT to pay more for clothing that lasts. The ecological impact of clothing that is so cheap and disposable is huge. Anyone shopping at these places should be taxed on their climate impact.

How true that is. It is cheaper to just throw away once worn a couple of times and keep buying a new tee shirt or whatever from that place and what happens to it then. Even charity shops are now saying please don't bring more stuff in as we've got too much | | | |

It is a few years ago now, but when my son went to uni, he just threw away his shirts, socks and underwear, and bought new from Primark. Mind, I don't think he changed them every day, and his Lynx bill was probably quite big. |  | | |

Yes a Lynx needs at least a kilo of fresh meat every day...or did he travel everywhere by helicopter? | | | |
