Quote: The number of people visiting pubs in the UK has fallen dramatically in recent years. The new survey claims that over half of us now prefer to entertain friends at home, with just 23% still visiting the pub on a regular basis.
Interestingly, it is the younger generation who are most responsible for the dip in pub attendance, with 18 to 34-year-olds three times more likely to see friends at home than out at a restaurant, pub or bar.
The number of pubs in Britain has fallen by a third since 1980 and, if the trend continues, the future looks very bleak indeed for the Great British Pub. End Quote
Say it isn't So!! Is this real? Is this a sign? Is this just a news article to shake the foundation of reality?
If the British can't hold up the sacred traditions, who will the rest of the world turn to? My favorite memories were visiting the many, many, many pubs in Australia. That was so refreshing to the US way of life.
What was that movie where the college graduates got back together to drink in all of the Pubs - something about the end of the world. Not Shawn of the Dead, I totally get that one, when the end of the world comes, the Pub is the last refuge... because it is a tradition.
What do you British have to say for yourselves?
