[QUOTE="ikari warrior, post: 7423624, member: 7657"] Stacky I’ve noted a huge renaissance in pubs (not bars ) people simply don’t go to restaurants in anywhere near the numbers they used to ,also pubs that do food (not really pubs ) are way back from where they were only a few years ago , A lot of this is in consideration of members of you circle of friends who may be impacted more by the cost of living crisis than other and the norm now is to go for a few pints ,if of course you are able to go out ,and avoid the restaurants . I know there are calls for the vat rate to be reduced back to 9% but this alone will not have a major impact in my view ,there are many factors . In the reduction of drinking and even the reduction of pub numbers over the last 20 years you can see the parallel in rising mental health issues and general withdrawal from “in person society “ led by social media,the damage being done by the luvvies and the incels drinking at home while doomscrolling is certainly adding to the cost of alchohol abuse but the pub seems to get the brunt . In time the benefit of the pub for one’s overall well being with be recognised , It’s a pity that and as I have written before you’ll have the Goverment having to subsidise rural pubs to keep the doors open , The trajectory of the numbers in your post are actually infact the canary in the coal mine of where society is going ,surveilled and controlled ,cashless and loss of freedoms .the demise of the pub will be closely related to the demise of your civil liberties, A healthy social democracy can be gauged by the amount of small businesses out there , We are heading in the wrong direction .
