Pubs across the UK remain closed for at least the next few weeks - but if you 're really missing your local , you can now rent an inflatable version .

You can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ benches , keg taps and even bar staff .
Each of the structures is completely weather-proof - essential for Greater Manchester 's grey skies - and can be heated in winter .
The smallest of the pop-up pubs is the Air of the Dog , and even that is capable of hosting 35 people when safe to do so .
The Alderley Edge-based business caters for wedding receptions , birthdays , festivals and corporate events .
Owner Matthew Crane said : `` We started just as a marquee business and we found that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weddings .
`` People have changed how weddings are done these days , so we introduced an inflatable pub , and it just took off from there .
`` With the coronavirus it 's just gone insane , we 've seen traffic to our website double over the last month or so . ''
He added that people have been booking the pubs for lockdown birthdays - and they 've even had someone hire one for a marriage proposal .
`` It 's actually the second proposal we 've had in it !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ also had a lady do a Sunday pub lunch for her husband 's 80th .
Really random things that I would never normally get booked for .

Thirty people have died at a single Greater Manchester care home having contracted coronavirus , according to NHS bosses .
Office for National Statistics ( ONS ) figures show there have been 221 COVID-19-related deaths in Oldham .
Of those , 30 have been recorded in the Chadderton Central postcode area .
That is the highest area tally in Greater Manchester , along with Higher Fold in Wigan .
Chief clinical officer at Oldham CCG , Dr John Patterson , said the 30 deaths were at the Chadderton Total Care Unit care home at Middlewood Court .
According to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the service provides care for up to 146 people with a ‘ variety of social and nursing needs , including physical and learning disability , dementia related disease and acquired brain injury ’ .

“ In Chadderton , there is one of our largest care homes and it ’ s a very good care home and because it ’ s so good it takes the most vulnerable and it also has a nursing part to it , ” he said .

Chief clinical officer at Oldham CCG, Dr John Patterson, said the 30 deaths were at the Chadderton Total Care Unit care home at Middlewood Court.
According to the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the service provides care for up to 146 people with a ‘variety of social and nursing needs, including physical and learning disability, dementia related disease and acquired brain injury’.
Dr Patterson said no concerns have been raised about the care of residents at the home.
There were no deaths recorded in March, but there was a spike in April, when 26 people lost their lives.
A further four people died in May.
Dr Patterson said the upturn in deaths coincided with the peak of the pandemic in the north west, in mid April.
“In Chadderton, there is one of our largest care homes and it’s a very good care home and because it’s so good it takes the most vulnerable and it also has a nursing part to it,” he said.
“So all the deaths that you see at that period of time on the ONS data set from that patch are deaths from a care home.

They also began swabbing staff and residents for the virus a week before the government advised testing to be carried out in care facilities.
“Since then we’ve seen the number of cases and deaths in care homes plummet to the point that in two of the weeks in May we only had one excess death recorded,” Dr Patterson added.
“Which I think is evidence that we managed to get on top of the very real problem of COVID-19 in care homes.”
Without the care home data being included, there was also no evidence of ‘postcode hotspots’ of coronavirus in Oldham, Dr Patterson said.
The list of names of people that had passed away since the pandemic struck was ‘too long’, he added.
Dr Patterson said: “It’s not just a list of names, it’s a list of people and whose wives we still look after, whose sons we still want to get to university.
“One death is too many, but every death is personal in Oldham.
“We welcome the data because it helps us do the right things.”
Chadderton Total Care Unit Limited did not respond to requests for comment.
The statistics cover the period from the beginning of March to May 31, and record cases where coronavirus was the underlying cause or mentioned on the death certificate as a contributory factor.

Furthermore, the club added that some players featured in both games in order to increase their match sharpness. Balls were also disinfected during the game and water breaks were taken throughout.
United will look to extend their 11-match unbeaten run in all competitions against Jose Mourinho's Spurs side next week who will be without Dele Alli due to suspension.
The England international was handed a one match ban by the Football Association in relation to a social media post made back in February.

Good evening, Manchester United fans. Here are your evening headlines for Friday, June 12.
Saha: United will benefit from reinvigorated Pogba
Former Manchester United forward Louis Saha insists Paul Pogba is one of the best players in the world and says the midfielder is “super motivated” ahead of football’s return.
The French star has been plagued by injury for much of this season but, after he underwent ankle surgery in January, is finally fit and ready to make a return.
And Saha is confident Pogba will thrive once the Premier League resumes, especially as he will be supported by January recruit Bruno Fernandes.
"He's one of the best players in the world," Saha told Stats Perform News, when asked about Pogba. "He had a tough season plagued by injuries. He came back very motivated, that's what some of the players told me.
"When I talk to him on the phone, he's super motivated, so I really want to see not a new Pogba, but Pogba with support. I don't think he was supported. Now he has Bruno Fernandes next to him, who's another leader, another creator.
"I'm really excited about that sharing of the responsibilities, I really want to watch that team."
Reasons for caution in Van de Beek pursuit
Ajax CEO Edwin van der Sar’s admission that Manchester United are interested in Donny van de Beek has understandably excited Reds supporters.

The midfielder was one of the driving forces behind the Dutch club’s run to the Champions League semi-finals last season and has again impressed this term.
Also linked with Real Madrid, van de Beek is expected to leave Amsterdam this summer. But potential suitors, including United, must consider the fortunes of two former Ajax stars when weighing up an offer.
Matthijs de Ligt captained last season’s side before he joined Juventus. The young centre-back has, however, struggled for form in Serie A and has admitted the feeling of invincibility he possessed at Ajax has gone.
Frenkie de Jong, meanwhile, signed with Barcelona last summer yet hasn’t been able to orchestrate games in the same manner as he did in Holland.
The Eredivisie is a tremendous platform for young talent to shine, but the step up to one of Europe’s top five leagues shouldn’t be underestimated.
It’s something for United to consider in their pursuit of van de Beek.
Pogba and Fernandes join forces
Manchester United faced West Bromwich Albion in two separate games at Old Trafford today, the first of which was expected to see Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes line up in the same team.

Good evening, Manchester City fans. Here are your evening headlines for Friday, June 12.
City handed Sane boost
Pep Guardiola should be able to call upon Leroy Sane when the Premier League season restarts after the German winger took part in another practice match among the Manchester City squad.
Sane has not featured for City since he suffered knee ligament damage in the early stages of the Community Shield win over Liverpool in August.
He had trained for several weeks prior to football's suspension but wasn't deemed ready to return after such a long absence.
However, the 24-year-old took part in an 11-vs-11 training match last week and did so once again when the exercise was repeated this week.
Rodri joins Fernandinho under the radar
For several seasons Fernandinho was the under-appreciated star of the Manchester City side. And it appears Rodri may be set to pick up that mantle.
The Spaniard arrived last summer from Atletico Madrid and has looked assured in the midfield role usually occupied by Fernandinho - who has been utilised regularly at centre-back to cover injuries.
During his debut season at the Etihad, Rodri has averaged more passes per game (81) than anyone else in the division. And analysis done by Spreadex also shows he has completed 1,069 passes in the opposition half - another league high.
This attacking output appears to have gone largely under the radar, like much of the work Fernandinho did during his early years at the Etihad.
City and Liverpool fans join forces
Both Manchester City and Liverpool supporters want a voice in the decision over whether to play the Premier League match between the two clubs on July 2 at the Etihad Stadium.
The fixture is the only one of the remaining 92 top-flight matches not to have its venue confirmed.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-12--Thief with 'one of worst records you could see' jailed after smashing into bar

He then , just hours after being given bail , broke it by going to Piccadilly Gardens to try and score drugs .
He has now been jailed for nearly eight months by a judge who said he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ change his ways .
The break-in happened before lockdown in the early hours of Monday February 17 , Nicola Carroll prosecuting said .
He was seen by witnesses in nearby flats throwing a brick at the window of the real ale bar on Port Street , successfully smashing it on the third attempt .
He went inside and swiped two bottles of whisky and an tablet computer worth around £200 .
The police had been alerted and he was arrested by officers nearby .
After being charged and his case being sent to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bail in March whilst he was awaiting sentence .
One of the conditions was that he must not enter Manchester city centre however just hours after being released he was found by officers in Piccadilly Gardens , the court was told .
`` The inference being he had gone looking to buy drugs '' Ms Carroll said .
Sokolowski , of no fixed address , pleaded guilty to burglary at an earlier hearing .
Th 31-year-old , who it was said has a `` long standing serious drug addiction '' , was jailed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a judge sitting at Manchester Crown Court on Friday afternoon .
He appeared via video link from prison with the barristers speaking and press observing via Skype as is the current arrangement during the pandemic .
He has 96 convictions for 196 offences the court heard .

`` If he was subjected to a suspended sentence he says his intention is to stay out of trouble .

Passing sentence Judge Alan Conrad QC told him : `` I released you on bail back in March , in the hope something might be done to break the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However in a matter of hours you were in a place you should n't be , back in your old haunts .
`` That has led me to the conclusion you are not at the stage where you have shown enough commitment to co-operate with a non-custodial sentence .

`` You have a very bad criminal record which elevates this offence in my opinion . ''

"The inference being he had gone looking to buy drugs" Ms Carroll said.
Sokolowski, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to burglary at an earlier hearing.
Th 31-year-old, who it was said has a "long standing serious drug addiction", was jailed for seven and a half months by a judge sitting at Manchester Crown Court on Friday afternoon.
He appeared via video link from prison with the barristers speaking and press observing via Skype as is the current arrangement during the pandemic.

He has 96 convictions for 196 offences the court heard.
It was "one of the worst records you could see as a professional lawyer" Nick Ross, defending said.
"He says he is now serious about changing his lifestyle.
"In his own words he says he is sick of the same old roundabout or revolving door. These are clichés but it seems they in the forefront of his mind.
"If he was subjected to a suspended sentence he says his intention is to stay out of trouble.
"He can say that but actually doing it is a very different matter.
"It's about time he changed his ways but time will tell."
Passing sentence Judge Alan Conrad QC told him: "I released you on bail back in March, in the hope something might be done to break the mould and cycle of offending.
"However in a matter of hours you were in a place you shouldn't be, back in your old haunts.
"That has led me to the conclusion you are not at the stage where you have shown enough commitment to co-operate with a non-custodial sentence.
"And that may also involve an element of double punishment as you have already served the equivalent of around four months.
"You have a very bad criminal record which elevates this offence in my opinion."

A lot can change in football in a short space of time. It wasn't too long ago that Manchester United were managed by Jose Mourinho. They are now preparing to face the Portuguese coach when they travel to Tottenham next week.
So, it is difficult to make predictions about what will happen in the next few months, let alone the next few years - but we’re still going to give it a go.

One imagines it will be comprised mostly of members of the current squad, with a few new faces from the academy and signings from other clubs also in the picture.
Without further ado, here goes...
Goalkeeper
David de Gea has been at United since 2011, and has been one of the key players for the club over the last nine years.
De Gea’s current contract at Old Trafford lasts until 2023, and with a potential replacement waiting in the wings in Dean Henderson, United might have moved on from the Spaniard in three years' time.
Henderson has been one of the players of the season for Sheffield United in their first season back in the Premier League, where he has proved that he is able to perform on the biggest stage.
Defence
Aaron Wan Bissaka arrived at Old Trafford for £45million after impressing in his first season as a regular at Crystal Palace. The right-back has played a total of 34 games in all competitions for United this season and could lock down that position for the next decade.
Just six months after joining from Leicester Harry Maguire took the captain’s armband from the departing Ashley Young. He will be 30 by the time the 2023/24 season comes around meaning that he will provide experience in the centre of defence that United will need.
Partnering Maguire could be the academy graduate Teden Mengi, who has been impressive for both the U18s and U23s this season. The 18-year-old was an unused substitute for the Europa League game against Astana in November and has been in first-team training ahead of the season restart. He will be 21 for the start of the 2023/24 campaign.
Nineteen-year-old Brandon Williams has had an impact on the first team this season and Luke Shaw has a serious task on his hands to keep his spot in the team. Williams has made 12 league appearances during the 2019/20 season.
Midfield
Fred has been one of United’s most consistent performers this season after a difficult first season at the club. The Brazilian has made 39 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing four assists. He will be 30 in three years, continuing the core of experience through the centre of the team.
The experience could continue alongside Fred with Bruno Fernandes, who arrived this January and has made an instant impact on the team’s performances. The Portugal international already has three goals and four assists in a United shirt. He will be 28 by the time the 2023 season comes around.
We're tipping Hannibal Mejbri to be a first-team regular before long and he could complete a three-man midfield with Fred and Fernandes. Paul Pogba's absence from this team might be mystifying but it would be silly to say with any degree of certainty that Pogba will still be at United in 2023 given what has gone before.
Attack
United’s primary transfer target this summer is Borussia Dortmund and England winger Jadon Sancho. The 20-year-old has made a name for himself in the Bundesliga in recent seasons and could be on the move this year.

Sancho could line up alongside two players already at the club in the form of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.
The two players have 35 goals between them this season. By the time 2023 comes around, Martial will be 27 while Rashford will be 25, meaning both should be in the peak years of their careers.
Possible 2023/24 lineup: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Mengi, Williams; Fred, Fernandes, Mejbri; Sancho, Martial, Rashford
