Enough of this madness! Buy normal Guinness- it costs the same with the added bonus of getting you wankered if you drink enough. Christ almighty, the country’s going mad!!
The pub trade survives on its own abilities. If some cafe culture displaces the public houses, I don't see that as wrong, just a personal choice made by the public. I go to pubs less than when I was younger mainly because I don't drink alcohol. I also am put off by the unfortunate reality that many -if not most- are now family restaurants, full of young children. Zero appeal.
Thank you for being brave enough to share this It certainly does feel good helping others who need it. Make sure you keep your glass topped up and do the little things that make you happy
The good people in our village always have a post Christmas dog walk/pub crawl, traditionally an all day affair, used to be six pubs, now down to four, that's a terrible statistic. Two pubs have disappeared in the last year, one of them is turning into a resturant and the other is up for sale. I think we have lost at least ten pubs locally in my lifetime, with one new addition of Wetherspoons in Marlow. A sorry state of affairs.
