They say the Pub Culture is dying in Britain. Why do you think that is?

Same over here in Éire, simply prices are too high and its cheaper to stay at home/go to a mates, plus you have a better laugh.......well that's my take on it anyway.

I think the smoking ban had a big impact too.

Yeah well that's a given, I forget to use that becuase its been enforced here for quite a bit longer than UK......we kind of bounced back from it and then a slump came just before the recession.

Yeah it was in when I went to Ireland in 06, was a bit of a suprise. I guess the recession, but if people can find money to drink inside, surely they want find money to drink at the pub.

You know I honestly couldn't tell you when it came in, I cant remember the year!! All I do remember is that we used to play pool in town every saturday and you could smoke there and when it came in the place shut down....

Watched a doc called 'The Red lion' yday which is why I made the topic. They said 6 pubs a day are shutting down. It's awful!!! I blame the big places like weatherspoons and all that.

That is a better way to do it lol I found when I went to NZ, hardly anyone went to the pub at all, they just had house parties. Seems they never really had it. Plus the pubs are alot more expensive there.

the working class is dying out, thats who pubs have always been for
More people who would be working class are now becoming middle class thanks to increase of Uni places, whilst on the other side more people are ending up on benefits so can't afford it |

Yes, it kinda seems what we see as a working class is a non working class. Kids having kids and all that.

I think the Grafters - the Working Class can not afford Pubs that over charge. |

The smoking ban is the only reason.
