A CREATIVE WAY TO GET AROUND LOCKDOWN RULES

[bellabee]

Because you get an overnight stay, don't have to worry about drink/drive and get a decent meal, not a KFCrap whilst swigging a cider and sleeping in the car if you don't get moved on and done for DD.

If it's such a rubbish idea and way too expensive guess how many people will take up the offer.

I can't see anywhere where it is written that you can stay overnight . The notice says 'daily between 7pm and 10pm'.
If it's the same as the German scheme, 'Wo Mo Dinners', overnighting is expressly excluded, and many of the participating restaurants are at pains to point this out. Staying away from home is forbidden in Germany at present. I've no idea whether it's the same in Luxembourg, but suspect that it might be.
I'm a member of a German facebook group where this topic regularly comes up. Some people love the scheme, others think 'what's the point when I can't stay the night and have a drink?'
I'd fall into the second category, I'm afraid.

But if one's only available home is one's MH is one 'away from home' when in it?

To bastardise a certain song ... "Wherever I park my passion-wagon that's my home" ...

Most of the curry restaurants around here are Pakistani or Bangladeshi owners. Very few proper Indian ones.

They reckon over 95% of “Indian” restaurants are Bangladeshi, a few Pakistani. Very few anywhere are Hindu Indian, i.e. not Muslim.

I think here it would depend on the tier of the restraunt and customer. If you live in tier 3 I can't see it's essential travel likewise if the restraunt is. If it and you are in tier 1 or 2 then it's allowed I think but can't see much difference to having a delivery to a campsite apart from the lack of a hookup the cost etc. It's hardly a cheap pitch for the night!
It does seem that any way to try and stretch the rules makes some keen though!

Can you just hear grandchildren in 50 years?

It has always been said that the roll out of the vaccine would be when approved by the MHRA and hopefully will begin in December so the information has been relatively consistent. Admittedly it hasn't been said when the different groups will get it as they are starting with care staff, NHS staff and the over 80's. I don't know how long this will take but I am hoping by spring time next year at the latest. I usually go into hibernation over winter in any case so not causing me much issue to wait for the vaccine.

By doing those groups first any side effects that didn't come to light during the trials will appear. Hopefully the care and NHS staff will be younger and able to cope with side effects - I just hope there is no nasty effects of the virus on pregnancy or the unborn child. Widespread innoculation of the over 80s will be more like a massive field tests ......... will they think that if the inoculation works it is a win and if it has the effect of shortening life that may also be a win ....... I'm not cynical, I have experience.

German restaurants are doing similar. Great idea.

I think the point is that you are served a meal in your own motorhome and stay on the car park - if I read it right.

Not sure why people would do that? Going to a restaurant is as much about the ambience as the food. Might as well buy a M&S meal for two and sit on the drive if so desperate to eat in the van.

I read an article this morning about a woman who had Covid and has given birth to a baby who has antibodies, this isn't the exact one but it gives the info:
