Article from today's Times :-
Thoughts anyone ?
I'm in my 60's. Earlier in my life I lived in pubs. Chatting to people - nice real ale etc, etc. Gradually changed over the years - TV's, loud music, children etc, etc. I only use pubs on holidays these days :-(
Umm ... and my local village pub (I've not visited it for 10 years - it was
*awful* - wide screen TV sport - YUK) has closed - looking for someone to take it over - I doubt anyone will be interested :-(Nearest *proper* pub is 10 miles away - I don't bother anymore :-(
Sad sad sad but it's saved me a fortune. Brew my own these days ...
