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?

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?

Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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

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

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

Measles 'exposure event' confirmed in Great Falls - KRTV

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

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