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?

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

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

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.

Is there any truth to the claim that Kamala Harris got where she is by sleeping around, or is that just typical conservative bigotry?

But now:

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

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

How will the international community, especially the United Nations and major powers like the US, respond to the breakdown of the Gaza cease - fire by Israel on March 18 and the resulting large - scale conflict?

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?

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

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Sit non et voluptatem consequatur possimus corporis omnis eaque.

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

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
