IRONIC HUMOUR FROM BRIGG PUB & RESTAURANT AHEAD OF PARTIAL REOPENING

The pub & restaurant in Brigg which regularly attracts more customers (in normal times) than any in the town centre has employed some humour to herald its partial reopening next month.
Owned and operated by the national Wetherspoon company, the White Horse, on Wrawby Street, is now displaying signs to confirm to customers that it will be back in business from April 12 when the Government is offering UK licensed premises the option to reopen after the latest Coronavirus emergency lockdown, but only for outdoor 'table service'.
The White Horse, which has a sizeable south-facing beer garden, says on the signs that "come rain or shine" it will reopen on the 12th - a Monday - and confirms its area at the back WILL be open.
It then adds a humorous comment: "Bring your own blanket, brolly or sunscreen."
The signs look like they were made for use at many hostelries in the UK..
As April usually sees many cold, wet and windy days, having to sit outside might not be seen by some local pub-goers as a particularly generous relaxation of restrictions by the Government.
However, in the summer, if there's no 'spike' in virus cases across the UK, full reopening by licensed premises is expected to be sanctioned and things will get back to normal.

All Brigg's pubs and licensed social clubs have beer gardens of various shapes and sizes, but reopening on April 12 is not mandatory; it's an opportunity being offered.
