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.

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

What is the belief about the existence of past lives and memories? Do we have knowledge of our past lives at birth or does it come back to us gradually?

But now:

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

How do I explain to my husband that my 19-year-old son has accidentally gotten me pregnant?

A range of alcoholic drinks

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?

Summer here, the one who debunks atheism. Isn’t it funny how atheists always say they prefer a “no-nonsense, evidence-based approach” to understanding the world, but when I bring up logical arguments for theism, they suddenly clam up?

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 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

Why are terrible, boring art pieces done by famous people worth so much while beautiful pieces done by amateurs are worthless?
