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?

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

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

Are miracles real or do they just have natural explanations?

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

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

A range of alcoholic drinks

What is your secret to glowing skin?

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

Am I the unique Gen Z if I dislike TikTok and prefer the 2000s technology trends like retro consoles, CRTs, and CD/DVDs?

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.

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

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?

Do liberals realise that God, who is much more powerful than them, is on the side of Trump?
