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:

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.

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

Have you ever been humiliated in front of a group of girls and enjoyed it?

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

A range of alcoholic drinks

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

Why can't we send flat Earthers to space and show them the shape of Earth?

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

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

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

In the TV show Supernatural, why is God portrayed as cruel?

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

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

Why do atheists not love a G-d that does not stop punishing them harder and harder in this world and the next until they surrender to Him?
