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?

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

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

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

Why is Matt Gaetz being investigated but not Sarah (Tim) McBride? Why do we only care about grooming when it's the Republicans doing it?

Do flat Earthers really exist? Why do they believe the Earth is flat?

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

Why do guys look up TikTok girls instead of porn? My boyfriend of two years, looks up big boobs on TikTok. He has never once cheated on me, not on social media or IRL. He claims it’s to “get off real quick if I’m not home.”

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

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

But now:

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?
