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

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

What is world history that not many people know about?

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

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

A range of alcoholic drinks

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

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

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Why do liberals and Democrats think it’s “ironic” for Donald Trump to say “We have to get back to law and order”?

But now:

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

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?
