A lot of the pubs round here have turned into convenience stores, shame as some of them are really nice old buildings. However if they are going to charge £4 a pint and people can drink for £1 a pint at home whilst staying on their backsides, ordering cheap takeaways, watching reality TV/playing with phones. I ate out yesterday, the cheapest bottle of wine was £15, I could get the same for under £5 in supermarket. It's a bit about money, but it's also a sad enditement of the way society is going.
I blame the Tories
