You just seemed to dismiss how big Christmas is for everyone because you enjoy getting pissed and you probs won’t be able to do that. For the vast majority of people the best bit about Xmas is spending time with their families.
Sure maybe it is a bit dangerous, but then it must be dangerous for me to be around randoms at my work all day and they seem happy for me to do that. If you think the gvt are going to allow people to just have a Christmas as normal you’re aff your head, you’re going to be able to see 1 other household max no doubt if anything.
Also ripping people for missing their families Of course I’m missing seeing my family
Morph you're just latching on to throwaway comments and making them a thing For clarity - seeing family is the best bit for me and I'm not ripping anyone for missing families, it's shite.
If you think folk are going to stick to 1 household then you are off your head as well. This is going to be the classic give an inch take a mile scenario.
My view is I want to return to reality (or at least closer to it) as soon as possible so the prospect of going into a more severe tier or lockdown or whatever shite they call it for the sake of one day, no matter how special, is bad. I also thing the longer term consequences of forgetting about the virus for a few days is people reduce their compliance for other situations but maybe I'm wrong on that.
