Pub owners have made their position crystal clear on "green passports" 16:31 - Mar 25 with 796 views | bluelagos | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56522652 The boss of Young's pubs said requiring vaccine passports would be "unworkable", while Greene King and the City Pub Group also voiced their opposition to any such measure. The chief executive of the Shepherd Neame pub chain said asking pub-goers to show vaccine passports was a "fairly poorly thought out idea" he would not be adopting. Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said the industry was "very nervous" about the "damage" such a measure could do to it and "the future of the Great British Pub". |  |

Why didn't anyone think of that? Maybe also add some chemicals that make the whites of the eyes glow flourescently, so the backed are easy to spot. |  |

Pub owners have made their position crystal clear on "green passports" on 16:50 - Mar 25 with 717 views | StokieBlue | I am not sure that is going to be their final position. Johnson has actually said that pubs might be allowed to ditch social distancing completely if they check peoples C19 status before they enter. So if it's a choice between a socially distanced pub with maybe 50% of the revenues at best or a full pub but checking people before they come in I expect to see a fairly quick change in their statements. Regardless of the rights and wrongs of such a scheme, given they have had no business for 6 months I suspect they will want to be as full as possible. SB |  | |  |

Similar to my comment about holidays really isn't it. 12 weeks is a long time so who knows what we'll end up with! |  |

That usually happens when I leave a pub. Not on entering. |  | |  |

I like the eyes idea - really simple to police. And/or we could just brand people on the forehead (unless that discriminates against people without foreheads - hadn't thought of that until now). |  |

It could well come down to Public & Employers Insurance. Will pubs get covered by insurance if they don't implement some measurers to insure costumers safety. I work in probably 5 customer's houses a day. If they ask me if I have had A vaccine before entering there property & refusing me entry if i answered no, that is there right to refuse me entry. |  | |  |

do you think in a full and busy pub the staff will have any time to check and ensure everyone in the pub meets this criteria ? and if they cant, then the whole thing is meaningless anyway, because people who arent checked can sneak in, which means the government would then have to employ a covid inspectorate to go round randomly testing pubs to make sure they really are complying, for the whole country ? to what end ? whats the benefit ? I dont understand what their goal is |  | |  |

"do you think in a full and busy pub the staff will have any time to check and ensure everyone in the pub meets this criteria ?" Why would the staff do it? A doorman would surely do it in most cases. I'm not saying it's going to be done, I am just pointing out that if it's a choice between 30% capacity and full capacity with checks then some establishments are likely to go for the second choice. "to what end ? whats the benefit ? I dont understand what their goal is" I don't really understand this question to be honest. Who's benefit? Who's goal? You need to give it some context.
