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?

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.

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

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

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

But now:

A range of alcoholic drinks

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

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?

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

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

Is there a possibility that we are living in a simulation and that there is a concept of rebirth?
