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?

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

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

A range of alcoholic drinks

What do you think of Vance using a clip of an embarrassed teenager from almost 20 years ago in an attempt to bully Kamala Harris?

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

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

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

How do I build rapport with anybody?

But now:

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

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

Will the opposition parties like NTK, AIADMK, BJP, TVK, etc. form a pre-election alliance in Tamil Nadu on a single agenda of defeating the DMK alliance in the state assembly elections 2026?

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?

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden
