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:

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

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?

Could humans be selectively bred, like dogs, to create 2 subspecies that can no longer have offspring? Do I not understand selective breeding properly? Im not worried about the moral implications, just the science please.

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

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

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

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)

A range of alcoholic drinks

Are Democrats freaking out that President Trump and America have plans to prosecute election cheaters?

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

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet
