Couldn\u2019t have put it better myself. Eric Idle has criticised the official Monty Python Twitter feed<\/a> for tweeting \u201cIt\u2019s time to dust off your finest attire now that pubs & restaurants are open from tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idle\u2019s response was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Do not listen. This is shit advice. I have nothing to do with this. In the wise words of my wife. \u201cWhat has changed?\u201d Nothing. There is no cure, there is no vaccine. Go out at your peril. Mingle at your own risk. Just remember \u201cBring out your dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless your pub is called The Grim Reaper, you should stay home. Please be safe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Completely agree, Eric. It\u2019s too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note (2023): This was written about four months into the first lockdown, and look what then happened. Idle got it spot on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
