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.

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.

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.

It's like a big chain of trendy pubs that sell cheap booze and where everyone will go before a night out. Usually will be in the centre of town.

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.

Seems more expensive over there. It's about 2.50 a pint here. I thought euro and pound were roughly the same atm?
