Anyone confirm if Mother Macs is definitely closing ?
Fancy going in before arsenal if it's still open .
The pub was once the principal way that people could interact with others outside their families and workplace. That is no longer the case; Bluemoon being a case in point. There are a number of ancillary factors that point to their decline, not least the price differentials between supermarkets and pubs: a generation ago it was 2:1, it's probably nearer 4:1 now, which has changed the nation's drinking habits, as have the drink driving laws, the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Health Act 2006, which introduced the smoking ban. Nothing in our society has been immune to the social changes which have swept the nation since 1976, the 'peak year' for beer volumes. Look how much football has changed in that time, for example. More immigration and a decline in our manufacturing base are other changes over that period which have undermined the pub.Everyone bemoans a pub closing but if they were making money then landlords would keep them open. The pubs need to find other sources of revenue but punters need to use them too. A good local or two was an absolute godsend when I moved down to London for work. I knew nobody and it took the initiative of getting out there and talking to people to make life more bearable!
