[saundra]

Pubs tomorrow can legally open at 6in the morn ing
And Boris says act sensibly of cause we all will Boris
except the idiots who will be forming a queue at 5 sigh

[TheOstrich]

Have you set your alarm clock, Saundra?

[cromwell]

It's true, just be sensible.
Unfortunately there are too many people out there who don't have the brains they were born with and who have never had any sense whatsoever

[JanB]

Why would pubs want/need to be open at that hour in the morning

In saying that, our local pubs, back in Chipping Sodbury were open virtually 24 hours - and still are

You’re not wrong there, and they become even more stupid when alcohol is involved.

Jan, before we moved I used to walk past a Wetherspoons on the way to the gym at 6.45 every morning and every morning without fail there’d be a few waiting outside for it to open at 7.
During the warmer weather they’d be sitting outside with their pints when I walked back again.

Last year a few town centre pubs applied for an extension to open through to 5am Christmas morning. How many Christmases did that ruin I wonder?

[cromwell]

To me there is no excuse for that MM.
Or late night drinking at all really. I remember talking to a taxi driver years ago who told me that the people who came out of pubs at 11pm were usually fine; the people who could get really nasty were people coming out of clubs in the early hours "with God knows what in their system".
If I was dictator of England no pub or club would be allowed to be open after 11pm. Maybe an exception for New Years Eve.

Ridiculous

Jo, many years back when I used to catch the bus from Waterloo station towards Docklands we drove past a pub next to London Bridge station, it was always open at 8am and quite full. I often wondered about it until someone pointed out that it catered to the night shift people that were working at Borough Market / London bridge hospital etc. From memory it would close at 9am for a clean etc and then reopen for the usual day at 11am.
