The mountain is open but you can't go round Dougal's for a beer afterwards.

Unless you and Ben are from the same household or support bubble.
I once worked with someone that climbed Ben Nevis whilst under going Chemo. It must be piss easy.
You can walk up a bunch of stairs the whole way. It isn’t difficult.
No pub on the top though, so why bother?
Also, literally nothing has changed due to the amount of exemptions in place. It’s all time stop house parties, which were rife during the lockdown anyway.
People that live alone, couples, folk with kids, tradespeople and anyone looking after your children can all visit households still. Most pubs shut at 10pm anyway.
My brother in law spends half his life 'bagging' Munros and says Ben Nevis is one of the easiest, despite being the highest.
Looks like a nice hike.
Behavioural Science baby. Six months lol get lost lad.
Ben Nevis is shit to walk up because it's shite weather between 355 and 362 days a year there, so by the top you're in the low fog clouds, it's all damp, rocky (like moon surface barren), fucking cold relative to the valley and full of confused looking and ill-prepared dickheads. The pub at the bottom provides welcome relief when you get there though. I suppose you could just bypass the hill and go straight in.
There will be. Grasses will be out in full.
175 on ventilators in England alone. It was only 60-odd a few weeks back.
There was some polling the other day that showed most people are reassuringly reluctant to grass, but then I suppose it only takes a minority to ruin everything.
It's the ones that require grassing on that are ruining everything, though your type view is becoming all too common.
Loving the division in society though.
How many people under 60 with no underlying conditions have died again? A few hundred?
A few hundred too many then.
One bloke set his loafers on fire and we have to install a surveillance state and change air travel forever but anything less than 1000 perfectly healthy people dropping dead (ignoring all of the long term issues like heart/lung issues) is a shrug.
That sentiment ran riot around here after the Brexit vote.
I can't stay mad at that.
And yet:
At least we won't hear any moaning from all these cunts about unemployment etc. That's only fair.
The 45% must be a coalition of comfortable work-from-home plebs, and the hate-filled old people who haunt Marks & Spencer.
Can't be kids, can it? Kids (i.e. anyone younger than me) have lives to lead. I wonder if there's an age split on it.
What's the business with M&S? I've only been in on a couple of rare forays so yet to build a picture but my brother and his ting do their weekly shop there so I fear at the breed of the demographic that regularly shop there. Is it all just autistic creatures who find Waitrose too mainstream?
There are tables in the link and it's almost completely uniform across social/identity divides. Not even Brexit vote predicts it (that normally predicts everything). The biggest variable is Lab/LD voters being pro-lockdown, but even that's not massive. Women like lockdown a bit more than men, too.
the only way an under 21 responds to a YouGov poll is with an egging.
Waitrose is for ponces and Lib Dem voters. M&S is for a lower class of person: dull, slow thickos with a bit of money and no imagination. A lot of them are old. I have a very clear memory of being in there once and a mid 60s woman angrily told the Asian checkout attendant (when they offered her a bag) to 'Leave me alone! When I want a bag, I'll bloody well ask for one!' and that sums it up as a clientele.
I have a bit of money these days, so we get our meat from the LOCALLY SOURCED Butchers and our veg via a smug and ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE "Odd Box".
That's when you know you've really entered the Middle Class.
That said, our Odd Box turned up with the below this week so we're on the ropes somewhat. Although we did get "kiwi berries" which are a game changer.
Erm, stick this in Mahow's food thread. Or stick it up your arse.
How very vulgar.
Kiwi berries though...
