Alan is only messing. I'm only mentioning it because it made me think, if that's the situation in the one bar I've been in, how many bars are breaking the rules?
Hopefully all of them, I'm a baw hair away from being matt le tissier tbh.
Is it uncommon to let those that were in before closing to stay a bit after closing? I wouldn't have thought so. If the legislation is just close at 10 and you stop any new customers at that time, are they breaking the rules? Murky waters especially when it comes to finishing last orders.
Think they've made it clear folk need to be out the doors and be closed at 10. It's not really different from a lock in tbf but I agree Beggars should be grassed to the COVID police.
What is there to enforce? It's not illegal to be outside after 10pm.
It's one of the inevitable consequences of policymaking on the hoof - not only do you give your legislators very little time to draft coherent laws to give legal effect to your bans/curfews/guidance, but it leads to confusion among the public and ill-informed cretins like Partridge grasping at what the actual state of affairs is.

Cops won't want to go steaming in with the truncheons and pepper spray without a good reason. Asking for trouble.
Not suggesting steaming in but it would be nice if they were even in the area to provide a presence. The video I saw was just hundreds of cunts dancing in the streets beside each other

Probably would be a police presence in most city centres on a Friday night tbf.
You can employ "Covid marshalls" to stand around and look important, but they've not got any power to do anything. If you want to impose a full-on curfew, just say so.

I don't really know what the ins and outs are of the rules, but I'm absolutely certain that they're not allowed to serve folk at half 10 / quarter to 11 when their app has locked down
You're right though, it's pretty much grey areas all the way.

Spoken to a few of the coppers at work and they have said the majority of their colleagues will steer well clear of being 'that guy' on Lad Bible who is filmed trying to arrest someone for breaking a 'restriction'.
Most people are changing their plans to drinking in the pub for the afternoon then going round someones gaff for an 'early' afters. As long as they dont have McCabe neighbours and keep it low key (plenty keys though ) should fly under the radar.
