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?

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

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:

What is better, 4 more years of Trump with the media trying to hurt him, or 8 years of DeSantis with the media licking booty, or 4 to 8 years of RFK with the media hating on him all the time? (Biden is not an option, he can't win)

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

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

A range of alcoholic drinks

In Italy, how do people greet each other when they meet for the first time (e.g., on the street)? What's a good response to that greeting if you're not from Italy or don't speak Italian fluently yet?

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

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

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?

Why do I feel bad when I see white girls dating black guys, am I racist?
