Re: The decline of the pub
The pub we go to isn't declining.Re: The decline of the pub
I was only ever a regular pub goer in my student days and my 20's. Only ever drink beer and even then only if a decent pint and a pub with original (not designed), character. Now the only time I tend to go to a pub is when the weather is decent and I can sit outside for a shandy, usually on my way home after a ride on one of my motorcycles. I have a few favourites, alongside rivers or canals. However an unintended consequence of the smoking ban is that all the smokers joined me sat outside and that certainly discouraged me. I'll ride in to the car park and if there are lots of smokers sat outside where I would want to sit I ride back out again.Re: The decline of the pub
Mind you I'll walk out of a pub if I find there's a pub quiz on too . I go to a pub for a nice pint and to socialise not to be frowned at (was even shushed once!) because I dared to talk when the quiz was on - was deliberately talking quietly too! No disrespect to those who like a pub quiz - enjoy - but I'll go elsewhere whilst you do.
