Now that the pubs are closed, a situation which is to be reviewed monthly! I thought I’d ask for some top tips from the 90% of you trampers who view them as the Devils work; which sort of layby is best to park in? What sort of truck tv do I need to watch the soaps?
Is it best to fold just the one or both mirrors in when parking? Will a diet of Ginsters pasties have a detrimental effect on me? What do I do when I’m on 14 hours 59 minutes and the layby I’m planning to park in is full?
So many questions, so little time.

Sorry mate, you beat me to it…didn’t realise. 
We’ll need to compare notes at the end of the night…not JUST me then. 
Maybe the mods should join up the threads…I mean this is valuable information concerning and started off because of the Corona Virus…it’s vital info for my sanity.

Well that’s it, I’m not doing nites out,and as I can’t go the toilet anywhere, the jobs officially foooxked. The country can starve.
I can understand how that is rightly seen as a devastating development which will be difficult to come back from.Not only no more Fullers London Pride,ESB or Youngs Special or Abbot but can’t use the pub loo to save on bog roll at home.
But can’t believe you can’t find and reach another even better layby in 50 seconds.

London Pride? Abbots?.. 
What is all this Southern dish water that you speak of?
You make a good argument for the pubs shutting after all, … but at least you can still buy cases of ‘Newcastlle Broon’ in Tescos.

To be fair a penchant for a bit of alcohol in our beer is an alien concept to Norvenors. 
As for home save the cash with Becks Blue and spend the savings on Glennfidich for 25 quid a bottle.Based on the idea that if the bleach doesn’t kill the bugs the booze will but beer just ain’t strong enough to do it at any strength.

That’s a bit rich, coming from a man who drinks fizzy Worthingtons or John Smith’s from the tap…
(Go on, live a little… spend the extra 20 pence on a proper pint of hand pulled real ale… 
)
i’m a pub person,but don’t drink alcohol at home,so i’ll save a bit of money at the weekend’s,for the foreseeable 
i have volunteered to do night’s out,or even tramping,if required,during this crisis,so some boring nights in a Motorway Services are looming!

‘Newcastlle Broon’ in Tescos.
Affectionately known…
As ‘Madmans Ale’ down sarf.
Which is better than Stella’s nickname in Yorkshire.
For that genuine pub like feel at home I’ve deceided to snort cocaine in the upstairs bog and ■■■■ all over the downstairs toilet floor, wiping the odd clinker on the wall, luckily glory hole has already been drilled which I’ve mentioned previously.
Also the wife will talk bollox to me for 4 hours then let me slip her one up the wrong un by the wheelie bins.
For extra authenticity she will then drive me round the block while I swear at her then puke up in the back of the car…
You think pubs closing is bad I can’t get a lapdance now, wife has offered to substitute I’ve politely declined but am in discussion with spearmint rhino for a takeaway service.
Im hoping for a dogging revival, already told the missus she still has to get dolled up, just havent told her were we are going
Don’t let her drive though last time I took mine everybody had gone home by the time she parked…
Welcome back Dipper. Your particular brand of insanity has been much missed!
Cheers Maoster great to see lots of old faces and new innocent souls to
Still driving and doing some fluffing on the side, think ■■■■ industry may take a slight knock luckily I’ve got me special go to clip for dry spells.
I actually struck gold today, as I managed to find a slab of beer in the supermarket albeit at a slightly inflated price.
There was 4 slabs left on the shelf but I only took one
