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:

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

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

A range of alcoholic drinks

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

I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?

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?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

I am so tired of ignorant people like you calling us far rights, why democrats is so educated, they take things from their own mouth, you guys are totalitarian party?
