Covid hysteria continues among local councils, as health and safety inspectors tell bars and pubs they should refuse to refill glasses from taps to prevent the spread of Covid. MailOnline has the story.
Many an ale lover enjoys drinking from their own glass or tankard at the pub.
But the common practice of refilling glasses is falling foul of Covid concerns.
Council health and safety inspectors – who are carrying out checks for the first time since the pandemic began – are urging bars to use fresh glasses every time to stop the risk of tap nozzles being contaminated.
Pubs are not specifically required by law to do this but they are obliged to serve drinks in a hygienic way.
This has just gone too far now.
Worth reading in full.

What ”spread” would THAT be, then?
You’ve just enjoyed a round of beers with friends, some of whom were sitting opposite you, thereby breathing the same ale-laden fumes. You head for the bar to get in your round, thereby handling others’ glasses. The barman, who is handling all the glasses that come his way and is too idle to rinse or gel his hands except when he’s been to the toilet (if indeed even then) promptly refills said glasses, thereby (according to the Elf’n’Safety bod from t’Council) exponentially increasing the risk of your entire circle of friends (not to mention the barman’s nearest and dearest) and potentially everyone drinking in that pub until the Hazmat Boys arrive.
Hygiene 101 for the 2020s…
I’d be more concerned with Norovirus which actually transmits by fomite but I guess the council guys are Covid-obsessive – after all it’s the only player in town when you’ve been sitting in your bedroom for two years.
They are obviously not educated enough to be out telling others what to do. I assume they wear masks when they make their inspection!
Rather like our local fire brigade. Blue lighting through town a moment ago, all masked up in their cab. Don’t they only share their can with their colleagues, who they will know are not infected as they’re at work with them??!! And when they attend their shout it will either be in the open air, where masks are even more useless than usual or inside where they’ll be wearing breathing apparatus. Absolute clowns.
Perhaps the FBU are trying to get ready for a strike as their employers haven’t provided them with a Covid safe working environment, a la the DVLA. Or perhaps as they don’t get to demonstrate their bravery much these days thanks to the lack of fires, they think they’d better virtue signal instead. Lets all bang pots for our VS firefighters.
Addenbrooke’s Hospital late Feb 2020 in a public waiting area and the staff refilled their water bottles from the public water cooler…….probably still do.
So, the Council now think the covid virus can be transported AGAINST the flow of beer from tap to glass!! They also obviously haven’t heard that transmission by surface contact is not a thing (TfL teams extensively swabbed the Tube, but found nothing). Why do we employ such brainless people??
Better we employ them and they generate tax income than they just claim benefits
We neither need nor want the interference of such jobsworths.
In this period where there’s a fight to slash unnecessary costs, eliminating the Health & Safety Executive would do it
Went to the Raven Pub in Bath this weekend just to shake the hand of the landlord who kicked Kier Starmer out of his pub when he tried to enter. Somehow, I don’t think this landlord will be changing glasses for each customer😂💕😂. But I could be wrong. Because I am certain whoever came up with this brand new brainiac idea has the science to support it😂😂😂
I was wondering if you would print an article about the Better Way Conference in Bath this past weekend. Hosted by Dr. Tess Lawrie, speakers included, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Ryan Cole, Del Bigtree, Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, Robert Kennedy, Dr Pierre Kory, many other doctors, scientists, environmentalists, and legal experts. Oracle was there filming the whole event and will release their film about this gathering. This was a historical gathering. I hope the daily sceptic can find the space to record it. Many thanks.
I suggest councils clean out their Health & Safety departments because clearly they are infected with some sort of virus that drives you stark staring mad.
Seems to me to me idle hands do the devil’s work. We need less government and more pub landlords.
Covid is a respiratory virus spread through the air.
Bacterium live on surface area’s.
This is insanity. I need a drink.
Funnily enough this one doesn’t bother me. I’ve always asked for a fresh glass with each pint. But yes, it’s complete nonsense, and scientific bull. Covid is an airborne virus it has sweet FA to do with liquid in beer glases. But then science did cease to exist after 2020 to be replaced with government propaganda.
When (or if) you go to a beer festival you will be given a new glass, which you then use throughout, and can take it away as a souvenir. You take it back to the bar as many times as you want, unless you’re so drunk that they won’t serve you!
On a much, much brighter note, yours truly and Mrs FP went to a Hollies (asķ your parents/grandparents) concert last night in Birmingham; amongst the many, many people there, well into 4 figures, I only saw 3 people wearing face nappies.
Covid is a nozzle born virus.
A properly trained barman/barmaid/barperson (delete as applicable) doesn’t let the tap touch the glass or the contents. That was what I was taught over 50 years ago.
Wow, what an outrage. Pubs being asked to consider hygiene.
Next they will be insisting on washing cutlery between customers.
Back in the real world, every pub I go to issues clean glasses for each drink. Has been doing so for years.
Whooosh… that went straight over your head. Comprehension isn’t your strong point.
“This has just gone too far now.”
This went too far over two years ago.
Same old, almost unnoticed but frighteningly true. Many English councils are run for and by the middle east temperance society, shutting bars and pubs a demand of fanatical credo.
The function room where I worked had an old glass washer which we would fill up with water at the beginning and drain after 6 hours and after about a 1000 glasses went through. Oh, fun fact, in the 5 years I worked there it never pulled through any detergent, so we “washed” with just hot water.
In 2020 I mentioned to my manager, who was very keen on H&S and even went to other sites to promote her work she had done at our site, now we really needed to get a new glass washer. I do not know if they finally got one, as I left the company.
The council and govt can introduce as much legisaltion, rules and guidance as they want, a lot of food premises
Our postgrad bar had a sort of twirling brush thing that you “washed” the glasses with. Same cold water most of the night. Someone in the biology department did an assay of what was living in it, and we got a proper glass washing machine soon after.
Wasn’t Brexit supposed to relieve the UK of the bureaucracy imposed by the EU’s obsession with the precautionary principle?
It seems it’s just galvanised them to tyrannise the world even faster than their original blueprint.
Glad someone else remembers this.
It’s not ‘The current thing’ any longer. May well not have happened as far as most people are concerned.
Are we still on Ukraine or are we moving to moneypox now? I can’t be sure and I do of course want to be supporting the current thing.
Tyranny.. are we back to Putin?
Yes, I have been in a pub in England where I said they could use the same glass but the barman said he couldn’t as my old glass might touch the pipe and my dreadful diseases would swim all the way to their cellar and infect everything.
This is a messy show but something which needs to be done a lot more – I would like to see Andy Kaufman and Stefan Lanka and co working with Robert Malone and others to settle this score once and for all. McCairns style in this is an example of why progress is not being made, it makes all sides of the argument look bad, ie the debate itself

Council Health and Safety Inspectors Tell Pubs Not to Refill Glasses “to Prevent Covid Spread”
Council health and safety inspectors – who are carrying out checks for the first time since the pandemic began. Cunning; better than working from home!
Just ignore the bastards. Same goes for the rest of it.
Jobsworths.
Where do these idiots come from? There must be some sort of finishing school for the witless and incredibly stupid.
Idiots will always be with us. Except in the pub, obviously.
