    Considering how you’ve spoken to me in the past that might have influenced how I replied to you jumping in to the thread to tell me I was wrong. As you’ve pointed out, your reply made no sense, and you hardly worded it in the most friendly way yourself.

    Just to give a small example what effect this new variant is having on our business. Over the last 2 days we've had cancellations of over £4,000 worth of bookings for January alone.

    Barmy isn't it. Comparing putting a seatbelt on to having to show your health status whenever you pop in to a venue, which is going to make places quieter than they already are because of the faff and nosyness of it all.

    Hospitality doesn't look like Christmas season with how dead it is. Rishi is going to have to get some more cash out. People believe the scaremongering in the media and by MPs so stop going to pubs and restaurants. Then when they shut for good because they haven't been supported people will moan they cannot go there anymore.

    Pubs in central London last night shutting at 9:30pm. Some restaurants only having between 6-10 lunchtime bookings and shutting in the evening. Destroyed the hospitality industry at their busiest time.

    It isn't just me, it's anyone who disagrees with you. The post you replied to mentioned vaccination and vaccine passports, it wasn't clear which you meant.

    I’m more than happy with people disagreeing with me, when done properly. Sadly, the properly part is happening less and less these days.

    As mentioned before, let’s not pretend you haven’t got form for speaking to me in the way you’re now criticising me for. Not sure I’ve criticised anyone personally that I’ve disagreed with - that would be unfair.

    I don't think there is a way of disagreeing with you properly. I've been taken aback regularly by the tone of your responses to people.

    Plenty of people do though? I’ve got huge respect for a lot of posters on here who don’t share my views.

    Interpretation and tone can always be read in different ways. I’m regularly taken back by people who get to a point where they stop talking about the opinion and attack the person instead.

    To be fair mate, sometimes you do come across as quite rude in your replies. I'm guilty of that too at times. I'm not saying that's how you intend to come across either.

    You've got a habit of implying the poster is thick. "Seriously confused at what point you’re trying to make here" , "Struggling to decipher the majority of this reply", "I think you might have lost your way a bit on your point to be honest", "I think you’re all over the place on this one". It's obviously a tactic to try and show the poster up.

    At least three of those have been in response to the poster trying to show me up. You could argue it's tit for tat and everyone should be more grown up, but I'm not being singled out in those examples.

    Probably fair. How someone reads something isn't always how you type it or would say it out loud. On the odd occasion though it's probably deliberate - I've been called/accused of some terrible things on this site over the last three years. I don't think I've ever returned that 'favour' to anyone else.

    And so let us bring this thread to an end with the immortal words of Johnny Nash…

    This can never happen again. It's bad enough what they call non urgent operations are being cancelled to give a third jab in little more than six months to healthy young people. I am sorry Percy your knee op and your hip op Mavis have to wait as we've some teenagers that need a third jab as a priority.

    What ‘measures’ specifically are responsible for this?

    Or is it simply that there’s a pandemic and it’s changing peoples behaviour.

    The government moving to Plan B, the voting in of Covid passports, the introduction of the work from home directive, re-introduction of testing before flying, and the use of language such as 'a tsunami of Omicron', are all contributing.

    I know of a few people cancelling stuff for this weekend due to perceived increase in risk, but not heard anyone complain about the measures themselves as a reason for cancellation. Not saying that applies to everyone.

    Nearly everyone i to speak is reluctant to book anything in advance. Nearly 2 years of cancelled plans has left people with little confidence.

    I criticised Gareth Southgate, and he told me I must be drunk/should go to bed, or words to that effect.

    I would expect better from an admin.

    My criticism wasn't just: "I 'ate vat Soufgate, me" - I explained my reasoning, to be met with: go to bed, etc.
