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?

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

Why did Democrats echo that Joe Biden was greater than FDR and should be put on Mt Rushmore? Why did Democrats vote for Biden blindly in the primaries and deny he was mentally impaired? Was it the lying media, or are Democrats ignorant and gullible?

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

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?

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

Reggie Miller Had Such a Fired-Up Reaction to Tyrese Haliburton's Game-Winning Shot - Sports Illustrated

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

A range of alcoholic drinks

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

Mahershala Ali Admits He Doesn’t “Know Where Marvel Is at Right Now” After ‘Blade’ Delays - The Hollywood Reporter

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.

But now:

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