Hi Gabrielle
Yes it is open!  All staff safely behind some new screens they’ve put up and all tables removed.

Hi Lucille
Not sure why you feel the need to be so self righteous - could come across as a slightly intolerant selfish attitude!  Coffee shops are allowed to be open under government guidelines so long as they are exercising social distancing and for take away only which both these two are.

If you feel people shouldn’t be able to use them, then they should be closed.  They have been closed 6 weeks already.  The longer they stay closed the fewer will be able to open.  We are facing a 10-20% hit to gdp at a guess.  May not mean much to you, but to millions of people a ruined economy may mean the difference between getting by and not getting by with all the implications that has on their health, quality of life and life expectancy.  Pret as a national chain had already trialled opening 20 stores, putney is in the next wave.

No-one is forcing you to go out, I don’t think it’s your place to force others to stay at home.

Calling people selfish is of course probably par for the course on social media, but there are many views on the current situation.  Sweden for example  seems to be doing perfectly well (better than the uk) in managing c19 whilst maintaining sensible measures, and many European countries and US states are relaxing the more onerous restraints.

I suggest you avoid Wimbledon village - I cycled through at lunch (on my allowed daily exercise!) and there were people queuing outside both Paul and Gails there and I spotted another couple of cafe/ coffee shops open the philistines!

I wouldn’t look to impose my view on you, appreciate the same courtesy in response.
