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?

But now:

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

Is there porn on TikTok?

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

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

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

Moderate liberals, if any use leftist Quora, how do you feel about being associated with those who enjoy burning American flags, supporting Hamas, having men competing against women in sports, open borders, green new deal and general wokery?

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

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

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Who is the beast of Revelation 13?

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

A range of alcoholic drinks

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.

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

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?
