A lot of things have changed about chessington now. There are social distancing markings on the floor, hand sanitiser stations everywhere, and the staff are wearing face masks. But some things, like the queues, really have not. If you want to go on one of these iconic rides, you will still have to wait about 60 90 minutes to do so, and thats because they have reduced the number of people allowed on and they have to be cleaned at regular intervals. But in spite of all of this, in the main, people we spoke to here are just delighted to be out and about. It is actually my 40th birthday. Happy birthday thank you what has the experience been like .

Who were at three pubs in different parts of england over the weekend have been contacted by staff after a number of people tested postive for coronavirus. The pubs in west yorkshire, hampshire and somerset had onlyjust re opened on saturday as lockdown restrictions in england were lifted. Theyve now had to close again, as our correspondentjon kay reports. So much for the grand reopening. A customer that was drinking here on saturday said he has since tested positive for covid.
