Cheap Pizza Express for EVERYONE!

[Poor SertAg (39)]

So the chancellor is giving out 50% vouchers for certain restaurants Monday to Wednesday to help BOOST THE ECONOMY!

Perhaps more constructively the VAT on food and entertainment has been cut to 5% for six months!

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Don't forget JOB SCHEMES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE!

THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN SAVED!

 

[Baby LaZenne]

EAT OUT to HELP OUT.

@Dark Carnival has been well ahead of the curve there!

Finding Pizza Express vouchers at ANY time is NOT DIFFICULT!

"The discount will not apply to alcohol, but to food and soft drinks up to £10 per person."

Big whoop. Now where's my £500?

 

[COB]

Yeah, you can get a 2 for £1.49 voucher for Pizza Express at any time surely Thankfully I'm a big fan so will be getting stuck right into this deal, post-lockdown weight loss pending.

 

[jivafox]

I’d already mentally spent my £500!

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Was this ever going to be an actual thing? I'd love £500 right now!

The festival/events industry are FUCKING FUMING about this.

That's the thing, all the good shit has already been cancelled!

 

[big ron]

Exactly, it'll get people in a few wank pubs in the run up to Christmas but then what?

 

[big ron]

Festivals start booking acts for the next year the minute they're over, so all of this years acts, hire, sites etc will have been agreed and by the time it comes to selling tickets again the discount is over. Wank. Enjoy drinking in wetherspoons for the rest of eternity. That said, illegal raves and free parties will be all the rage for the next few years.

"certain restaurants"

It'll just be the usual coterie of shit. EAT IN TO STAY THIN

 

[Kate]

Yeah, it'll be all this lot. Plus Wetherspoons.

 

[Kate]

Although not Byron any more lol

 

[SDF]

Aw I want the £500 to go shopping

 

[Indie]

Aw I want the £500 to go shopping

I'll set up a GoFundMe page for you, i'll happily pop in a fiver to make your dreams become reality.

I have no interest in eating at a pizza express unless SuRie will be there

 

[Baby LaZenne]

Or Prince Andrew...

 

[lolly smitten-downes]

I bet poor old sad old SuRie is wetting herself thinking of all the tips!

 

[octophone]

What a SHIT idea. None of this will get passed onto the customer or the staff and it'll make people pack places out before we're anywhere near a place where we should be doing so. It's fucking embarrasing.

That we have literally no information about other than the distinct whiff of ‘same old shit’.

Rishi Sunak teams with BOOHOO in brand new YOUTH JOB SCHEME.

 

[jivafox]

Get them all in the sweatshops knitting road man bags for £3.50/ph

 

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

I wonder how many of the pubs that charged £5.00+ for a pint before lockdown will reduce their prices to £4.40 from next Wednesday. This might be a job for science.

 

[win_the_game]

I can’t think of anything worse than going out for a socially distanced meal, even with 50% off.

Eating out is supposed to be a pleasure not a risk assessed chore with face coverings and hand sanitizer in tow.

 

[lolly smitten-downes]

I ate alone at a KFC on Monday evening. The seating area was entirely segregated into narrow cubicles with high boarding for pairs, with slightly larger areas for larger groups.

It had all the glamour and allure (and nutritional value) of a shooting gallery.

 

[Sheena]

WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY COMING FROM?

 

[LoooooOOOOOooooOOOooocille]

They found some down the back of the SETEE.

 

[big ron]

WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY COMING FROM?

The magic money tree

 

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

Esther McVey is going to be turning tricks in the back streets of Walthamstow.

 

[lolly smitten-downes]

Surely that isn't even worth a Dr Oetker pizza

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

EAT OUT TO HELP OUT EVERYONE OMG!

Was there anything remotely useful in all this? This backdoor tax break for Wetherspoons and training people for jobs that don't exist is all I can see. Useless.

I don’t understand this

Is VAT coming down to 5% on alcohol too?

 

[Baby LaZenne]

I don’t understand this

 

[Ooh Aah… Just An Ellie Bit]

The thing with eating out is that for me it’s usually just a precursor to something after. There’s still nowhere to go after, so a meal out isn’t something i miss.
