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?

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

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

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

Why are Republicans so brainwashed and oblivious to the fact that a lot of the price increases going on right now is due to corporate greed, not inflation?

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

A range of alcoholic drinks

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

Why do unattractive men assume that a pretty woman like me want them?

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

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.

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

Can Donald Trump use the Alien Friends Act of 1798 to give ALL illegal immigrants an ultimatum: You have 1 month to leave America, after which you will be arrested and jailed for 3 years?

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?

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

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