    Winter outdoor living

    I think we can probably say realistically, much of the UK is not going to be allowing indoor socialising before spring - but Tier 2 allows Ro6 in yer garden.

    I genuinely think outdoor heaters and gazebos are going to be the next goldrush item - freezers and bog roll last time - as the public twig the only way they can see mates over Christmas is outside in what is bound to be a terrible winter. MF is no doubt already importing a few lorries of the things.

    I am wondering about the sort of thing you see in pub/restaurant outdoor / semi-outdoor spaces, ideally gas I reckon. But also considering a good old fashioned fire-pit or chiminea - although somewhat incompatible with any sort of awning

    Anyone got anything along these lines or planning to set a giant tarp over their entire garden?

          Pubs and clubs sick of all the mis-government will likely set up speakeasy bars for the sane. Just opt-out of all the nonsense on the way in and pledge not to bother the NHS if you come a cropper upon leaving. Sorted.
          Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

            If it's any help, when I was working in Tomsk, Siberia, the outdoor markets and food stands were still open when it was minus 15c.

              My firepit lives under my gazebo, on my terrace. First World issues were never my intentions.

                Doubt it. A minority will but neighbours will dob each other in

                Quite large fines though. The places that do this are the places you didn't want to visit, I'd say

                I already see Calor say you basically cannot buy a new gas bottle, only refill them, due to "massive demand"
