Put simply, it means that all restaurants, bars and pubs have to shut - and are back to only deliveries and takeaways. Essentially it's the same as Lockdown 2.0. This also means theatres have to close, and most have only been open a week. This also means football stadiums in Tier 3 cannot have fans inside the stadium. ------------------- Wednesday 16 December 2020. Happy Birthday to ZZ Tops BILLY GIBBONS who is 71 today. I have seen ZZ Top live around a dozen times since 1980.
