(Yes i know, im sorry its the sur in english.. But the spanish version is behind a pay wall so at least you can all see this one)

Interesting ideas these politicians have isnt it. Shame that sometimes i work till 1800 so will have to buy any alcohol a different day? I cant get a bottle of wine to go with my dinner any more? Hahahha

All of this has long ceased to have anything to do with some poxy virus.

Might have been better to make shop staff law enforcers, bit like deputies in the Wild West.

Buying alcohol after six? Is this for your household bubble consumption or are you going to be drinking it with your mates in a bus shelter? The latter reason is what happened in our nearest village leading to one death so far and all shops shut except one of the two supermarkets.

Or people could just stop mixing......

People don’t realise they have as much chance of catching the virus buying a loaf of bread as buying alcohol. However, they continue to vilify a few young people for having a tipple. Most won’t be ill either.

You didn’t read about the outbreak caused by yoths having their botellon at New Year. It has changed our local village dynamic forever.

It is funny how Corona virus is always somewhere else and never at home. Still time for you to know someone who has died from it or worse had it and have lingering lasting effects

I´ve just seen that it doesn´t affect beer or wine... so getting a little bit drunk is ok but getting legless isn´t. I guess most youngsters couldn´t be bothered to carry more than a litre of beer.

You have seen mercadona at christmas, or when they are closed for 1 day for a national holiday?

People in spain dont 'forward plan' and never will :lol:

It is to make things equal with the pubs. Pubs are shut for obvious reasons

A Policia Local Facebook page is stating that it is only Alcohol over 21% that is banned.

Don't know if that is legally correct and I am too lazy to read the BOJA.

Died with Covid is not died from Covid.
Do we only care about the 100,000 in the UK that died with Covid, not caring at all about the other 400,000 who died without it in the same year?
People die of natural causes, which is what it is.
