Pinged last week. 4 days earlier was in a pub and group of younguns seated circa 8 ft away

Guess one of them must have had it. I was supposed to isolate for next 6 days.... Anyway I've been double jabbed and no symptoms whatsoever. So I sort of ignored it - just was extra careful for 6 days (tbf it is only advisory that you self isolate and personal circumstances make that nigh on impossible for me).

Agree it has to go. I'm off to London also next week. I will disconnect the app before I go.
