    I don't know where I am now. I had four festivals booked this summer at various points - G, Boomtown, Shambala and Green Man (booked in that order).

    Only Green Man left, and I am entirely uncertain as to my levels of optimism/pessimism. I guess the one saving grace is that, cautious as he seems, Drakeford is in no way the cock that Johnson is.

    How does Green Man possibly get around this from Drakeford earlier?

     

  2. Just had this arrive. 16th july to complete the request.

    Dear End of The Road ticket buyer,

    As we continue to move forward with planning this year's festival, and in order to satisfy Government requirements with NHS Track & Trace, we will need each ticket buyer to submit the contact details for the people whom they have purchased tickets for. You can complete this information by clicking on the link below, and must do so by 16th July.

    Your E-Tickets for the festival will then be emailed to the lead ticket buyer on or around 30th July.

    Please note, you will only need to provide contact information for anyone with Adult or Youth tickets, but not Child or Infant tickets.

    https://eotr.festivalpro.com/?*****************************************************

    If you are planning to resell your tickets via the Twickets scheme later in the Summer, you do not need to do anything.

    All the best,
    Team EoTR

     

    Weirdly when you complete the T&T contact details you get this message. Let's hope they haven't recharged everyone.....

     

    THANK YOU FOR BUYING TICKETS TO
    END OF THE ROAD 2021! 

    Thank you for your payment. Your transaction has been completed and a receipt has been emailed to you

    So glad I went for it when Oxfam released more stewarding places a few weeks ago. Could end up being my only festival this year. Wouldn't be my first choice, but needs must. 

    I've been a few times but only really because a group of friends go, but even then I haven't been since around 2018 as it wasn't my favourite of places and it's a pig to get to for me (6/7 hours), but as you say, needs must. 

    If Lekkido and Mik A were the headliners I'd still probably seize the opportunity to get out and see some music and sink a few ciders in the rain with some mates.

    Will Ms Coladangelo be “disciplined” for breaching social distancing rules at work?  
    Who will “administer” the “discipline”?

     

    John Whippingdale, minister at DCMS.

    Could be doing us a favour? Reducing the pool of stupid people procreating? haha 

    I think we need as much procreating as possible given projections that the populations of China, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Italy ,Thailand and South Korea will all be halved by 2100. 

    Plus the number of under-fives will fall from 681 million in 2017 to 401 million in 2100 and the number of over 80-year-olds will soar from 141 million in 2017 to 866 million in 2100.

    Strange stuff.

    Oh its the second half I have more of an issue with. I understand lts not 100%, but the framing and insistence that we need NPI indefinitely is more of an issue

    Yet she doesn't say 'indefinitely'. You've invented that.

    Rufus Spivey Green, apprentice digital marketer and part time barman at the Lemon Tree in Framlingham, and part time community radio presenter in Ipswich - I'll take the experience and observations of a senior lecturer and researcher in viral immunology at the University of Birmingham most of the time. It's a tough one.

    You have to ask why the full article was not linked to, and only a truncated screenshot out of context shown. 

    Here is the full article which puts it in far more context and adds nuance.

    Unless I've missed a post, I think they're saying that they've been told to self-isolate (presumably as a result of an exposure notification on the NHS COVID app) - if the exposure was outdoors it's very unlikely to translate into catching it.

    Tbh I'm debating when to get rid of the app, as it's going to be increasingly less reliable/useful in predicting potential transmission, especially amongst vaccinated people and at outdoor events.

    I've never had it installed. My wife and most of her colleagues at work deactivated and eventually removed it as it was slightly pointless having it on when they were going into a major hospital every day, and while they didn't have the phones on the wards, they were around the virus in various forms all day. Plus, they were getting tested at least twice a week. If they'd had it activated they never would have been at work, and I'd never have been able to leave the house.

    would not have thought so as there is no follow up from it at all, unless they were looking at how people behave (They saw that my mate gets very drunk). Just an annual event

    Ah, I see they've incorporated the no more than 30 outside thing into those marked out spaces. Clever way of doing it, even if slightly pushing the envelope of those rules....

    I went to Pub in the park on Friday. Not massive or anything. a few thousand I guess. No requirement for any tests, no wearing of masks, no keep apart signs. Only thing they had in front of the stage were a hundred odd marked out boxes that you had to be in and only up to 30 people in each whilst watching the bands. However you had to wonder off for food beer etc and that had nothing in place. 

    Sounds OK!

    Was that one of the ERP tests events?

    Sigh.

     

    The only thing with the ERP events is that of course they are likely to be 'safe' when every person attending has tested negative. There aren't any pilots of festivals/events with uncontrolled entry as far as I know.

    With either vaccination or a negative test before it's a bit of a false bar to hit. 

    Of course, if all events were subject to the same restrictions, it is a valid result..

    I saw also that the post event test return rates for the Liverpool events were something like 25%  and 43% respectively and that some other method was used to draw conclusions.

    I am quite sure that the risk will be low by the time they come around, but not that convinced about the current ERP and its relevance to a summer when a majority will have been vaccinated. Appears to me to be a bit of an industry/DCMS fudge.

    @Copperface- this is an absolutely amazing offer. I've been out all evening (my mate's starting a tag rugby team to try shed the lockdown weight) but wanted to make sure I came back to you!

    Bizarrely, a friend messaged me about Latitude today (he's in London) so I think this might be a goer! 

    I'll let you know later in the week if that's okay but I genuinely think this might happen. 

    Thank you again! 

    No problem. I'm meeting a group there but they're coming from London and Somerset so I'm travelling alone anyway. Not much of a diversion for me.

    Coming back up first thing on the Monday. 

    Just let me know.👍
