This tells you which tier you are in via postcode. Doesn't appear to be working properly yet though.

Website crashed already. ::)

You pre-emptied me ;D and the website has crashed.
What I think is awful is that dry bars : not a phrase I had heard of until last night : have to remain closed. One is allowed to open if one is serving food. Surely all bars can have an appt. system, probably easier for those that don't serve food? I often want to go out without the waft of food around :-\.
This is going to put a lot of bars out of business, totally un-necssarily in my view!

Now Matt is talking about 'saving the NHS' and how he understands how difficult it is in Tier 3. How many Pubs, Clubs, Theatres has this man actually visited to listen to those who are likely to be losing their jobs :'(
Don't all dash to the Isle of Wight for C.mas ;-)

Such a shame for hospitality,we go to the lovely country pubs for dinner when we're away in the RV and not once have I seen them flout any rules,yet go to Tesco and it's heaving with people,yet another ridiculous rule that makes no sense. I also love how those who sit in their ivory towers telling us how they understand how difficult it is, yeah.....RIGHT!!! Rant over ::)
-
Not a lot makes sense to me :-\. I agree, in their Ivory Towers they have no idea: that's been obvious from how the Care Home sector has been infiltrated by C-19, even now!
I don't know which Tier we might be in. It's apparently difficult to keep track in some areas so 1 could find oneself over the 'border' where 1 shouldn't be.
-
You can check which tier you're in by putting your postcode into the look-up box on the BBC website. Two for me. You can go into a different tier area but you must then abide by that tier's rules. Brain ache here ;D

Who am I again ;D

We're in tier two as is the caravan park in slimbridge,so guess where we're going on the 3rd ;D
-
We're in tier 3.
-
2-night we are in two. Who knows where we'll be tomorrow ::)
Anyone been watching Tom Kerridge filmed during the last 12 months? Really good, hopefully there will be a follow up!
-
We're in tier 3. I'm actually glad we are. Before lockdown we were tier 1 right next door to tier 3 so of course they all came out to our pubs when their own were shut. Guess why our rates went up? At least they can't do that now.
-
We will be Tier 3 tomorrow. Current rate 78 per 100,000 and falling.
How daft is that. ::)

Tier two here. At least I can sit inside a cafe again (on my own).
-
Our local has had to shut :'( due to people outside our Tier ringing for tables/drinks etc.. So the impact of the tiering system ain't working for the service industries. People simply transfer over the border >:( and Boris has promised England that it will get harder: what ever that means?

They could just require them to provide proof of address. When I order visitor parking permits for tradespeople doing jobs at my house, I have to show 2 or 3 documents with my address such as a Council tax bill or home insurance document.
-
Sadly across the food/pub industries it isn't that easy, people are more mobile. He's spent hours on the 'phone fielding calls from 'strangers' to the area who argue the tail off a donkey :'(. He is reviewing his whole package at the moment - he knows his regulars but because his web-site has shown 'open', the danger is people travelling here and causing problems on the door as well as spreading the virus. Don't think that Boris thought of this particular aspect :-\
-
Don't they realise the Tier 3 rules preclude travel out of the area apart from specific reasons and even if they do visit a different tier they have to still follow Tier 3 rules? :'(
Taz x :-\
-
Seems not Taz.
-
I thinks that's why entire counties are in the same tier. Before lockdown we were in tier 1 next to tier 3 and the place was full of tier 3 residents in our pubs. I agree they could make you show proof of address but it's then up to individual business owners to police it. Some will but many want any trade they can get. The vaccine is here next week (alright still weeks away for most of us), it just seems silly to take a risk now.
-
Why not tier every area until the vaccine has been rolled out? After all the figures are usually 5-7 days behind!

Unfortunately Taz, the wording in the rules are much more ambiguous the 'preclude'. It actually says, 'Avoid travelling outside your area'. If it said, 'must not unless, etc., etc.,' that would be much clearer. Also how many people actually check what the official rules are.
I can't see the logic in countywide tiers. Our council area is very low at only 78, but am told to avoid going into East Sussex six miles away which although a tier lower still has more cases, but can go to Swale where numbers are in the 500s.
Mind you we are not the only country that muddles this. During the 1st wave, Denmark prohibited Swedes from entering, but still allowed it's own citizens to travel to Sweden. Bazar. ::)
