Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

But now:

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

A range of alcoholic drinks

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

What were some of the unforgettable incidents from your school life?

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

Why do guys on dating apps often just first message "hey" or "hey how are you" instead of being more creative and unique? How do they think being a copycat will stand out?

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?
