I think this is a contender for the worst opinion column I’ve read this year - completely pointless, irrelevant and come on Matt couldn’t you think of anything a bit more interesting that happened this week?

      There is a possibility - just a small one - that I was a little drunk last night and instead of reading a book and going to sleep I posted things on the internet.

      I still stand by the fact even for what’s intended to be an amusing article it’s a shit one though

    I don’t like it but I do find it funny when a queue forms. No one wants it, no one planned it, but no one will break order and go straight to the bar. It’s one of the few things where we truly are all in it together

    It’s not irrelevant, it’s irreverent. Cmon, it’s a joke article. You may be reading a bit too much into it.

    I don’t know about this “we” - I’ve never seen it and people would treat you with scorn for even attempting it.

    The only knock-on effect of the lockdown is we get a bit of table service if the pub isn’t too busy.

      I’ve seen it. But only among youngsters who look too young to have been ordering in pubs before 2020.
