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?

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

But now:

What is the one thing you don't understand that others do?

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.

A range of alcoholic drinks

What happens when you get sick in a country with universal healthcare? What's the process like?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

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

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

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

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
