For a treat I thought I'd have a sandwich and drink out at lunchtime today.

Tea was in a paper cup, toasted sandwich on a paper plate and plastic knife. I hate tea in paper cups , and for me part of eating out is nice cup etc.

I asked why, and the waitress said " its because of covid....."

Why I wonder. I wonder if the green agenda has just gone now?

You just need to wash cups in hot soapy water, as usual.

If you can tell me places that are still serving tea in cups that aren't disposable please let me know.

Thanks

Several months ago one cafe with outside seating (I?ve forgotten) told me there were no pots of tea because of the pandemic, so I didn?t buy. A teabag in a 250ml cup with no chance of a top up of hot water for ?2 didn?t seem appealing. It?s understandable right at the start of all this when people were even putting the mail in the microwave but not now. Takeaway, of course, needs paper cups but again, nobody is forcing anyone to buy.

Not sure they would fill it because in Wetherspoons for example you can have free refills BUT you have to get a fresh cup- the same hygiene rule applied before covid if you wanted a pint in the same glass- pubs wouldn't do it

Since Covid coffee shops are refusing to refill clients own reusable cups.

Agree :)

The fear of Covid-19 contamination were unfounded. 119 experts from 18 countries concluded reusable containers pose no threat to the public during the Covid-10 pandemic: https://inews.co.uk/news/environment/reusable-cups-coffee-safe-use-coronavirus-pandemic-covid-19-uk-452611

Either way, I don't see how having your own cup refilled is going to spread / pick-up Covid. Perhaps the fear is that just the general air you're sat in is carrying Covid, which may settle on your cup ? But if that was the case, Covid can settle on every disposable cup too.

I asked a barperson in Camden months ago when he refused to refill my used glass - he said that germs could transfer from the glass to the tap....and that was before Covid...so no-one will refill especially now- they use clean cups, glasses etc

Bread of Life cafe at Christ Church Barry Road uses china mugs/cups and plates with stainless steel cutlery. If you require sugar or condiments, they will be brought to you by staff. Open Monday to Fridays 10 - 3 pm. Laminated menu, sanitized after every use, as are chairs and tables.


Basic menu but you can check what specials they have each day.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
