Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Why are Democrats at Q so desperate that they keep taking down my links to comments that prove the residents in Ohio have been filing complaints about the Haitians eating the local wildlife from ponds in the local parks? Election interference

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

Do interviewers discriminate against a candidate if he or she is overweight (assuming physical fitness is NOT part of the job requirements)?

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

A range of alcoholic drinks

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

How do I beat domestic battery charges against my covert narcissist husband who is lying and playing the victim?

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.
