"traditional" pubs??????

Who wants 'em.

Nowadays if I go to a pub, I'm very choosy about where I go. They must be nice well kept places that I feel comfortable and relaxed in, do good food, and have fairly reasonably priced alchohol.

Old pubs that don't do food, have a tatty unwelcoming "public bar" side and dodgy "lounge" side deserve to go under.

Times are moving on. The "traditional" working class boozer is dying because the "traditional" working class is no more.

The working class that can afford to go out expects a bit more nowadays when they do.

And those that can't afford to go out, stay home and drink cheaper alcohol.
