Many of our local pubs had the internal walls painted grey; the furniture hard and uncomfortable ; the lighting stark and the windows enlarged or, God forbid, cleaned . It's like drinking in a launderette.

It's probably easier to get a drink in a launderette than in many pubs these days.
Are people really so desperate to drink in a pub that they are now ordering meals they have no intention of eating, leaving them sitting untouched for as long as possible to enable them to stay and drink? Is this a nonsense story that's appeared in my automated Chrome news feed, or is it "like, yeah, for real like".
The mind boggles, and my flabber is ghasted...
Also, all Christmas delivery slots from my local supermarket of choice have been taken. Upon calling them, we were told every slot had gone within minutes, by just after midnight on the day they were released. Irritating.
While the hypermarket down the road is heaving in the days before Christmas - to the extent that they have people directing traffic in the car park, I always find that you can just stroll into the **sco local and get any last minute vegetables and stuff you want.
Given all the grumps about late or incomplete deliveries and perishables with immediate or short "used by" dates I'm quite sure it would be quicker, safer and more sure to go and do your own shopping.  Pick a time that's likely to be quiet and don't forget your mask.
I've done all the right things. Rarely go out except for food shopping and I think I've managed to catch a cold! ( sneezing, snotty nose so I think I'm safe) Just goes to show how easily you could get the Covid lurg😯 Never thought I'd be glad to get a cold😊
