Those things had an effect Randy but pubs have been in decline for some time. The smoking ban didn't help your localCovid lockdowns and the situation in Ukraine and Russia has played a massive part too.
don't think the smoking ban did that, in fact it had a positive effect with the non-smokers, plus it kept the smokers alive longer so they could keep going.Those things had an effect Randy but pubs have been in decline for some time. The smoking ban didn't help your local
Whoosh!!!!Apart from the fact it closed when Labour where in power.
The law changes which lead to the closures were the problem, for instance pub companies destroying local pubs, turning community boozers into one room karaoke houses when the breweries had to get rid of their pubs. The changes took a while to take effect2 of my locals when i was younger The Acklam and the Newport club closed under a Labour government to. Plenty to have a go at the Tories with without this pointless thread.
I am not so sure about that mart. No numbers to back that up but seems anecdotally wrong. Pubs had to change their models and there weren't enough chefs around to go gastro pub. Also in lots of areas there was probably no interest in that model from customers.don't think the smoking ban did that, in fact it had a positive effect with the non-smokers, plus it kept the smokers alive longer so they could keep going.
