Re: The Traditional Pub disappearing.

Also something missing from pubs now I come to think of it is the public bar and the saloon bar, when I was younger it seemed almost every pub had both of these bars.
The public bar was usually a bit more spartan and the beer was a penny or two cheaper, this is where you went with your mates on a lunchtime or a friday night, the saloon bar was more like somebodies lounge, settees, comfy chairs a open fire and shock horror carpet!! This is where you went with your girlfriend or wife.
There were a few pubs in Brighton that even still had a snug incorporated into the public bar, usually for the ladies I believe, but all this seems long gone nowadays...I know a scattering of these old pubs do still exist out in the countryside where time has stood still but the majority have gone the same way as the pint of mild or the boilermaker, into the history books.
