I find myself preferring to stay in on a Friday these days. Used to love pub life but now I m more of a home bird, You know couple of cans ,take away curry,good film etc etc. Pubs especially in town centres are not as busy as before it seems.

Do you think the pubs are getting quieter these days?
Do you prefer to stay at home?
What ya all drinking then?

Pubs are quieter. Chain pubs with buying power are either peddling cheap poison or charging extortionate prices for a simple decent drink. The days of the local are over.
Later on I hope to be drinking.

Don't necessarily agree with that. Bad pubs quiet, good locals (good landlord, ale, food) as busy as ever

Having a couple of glasses of Pouilly Fume and chilling trying to ignore CIN2013. Living so far out of town it is a big effort to bother, so have got used to enjoying the nights in. Twenty years ago I remember loving going over to the Isle of Wight for the weekend/week but even back then more and more people were staying in. Staying in is the new going out but the women are getting harder to pull.

The pub business as knew it is finished, you mention food which is the only way that a 'pub' can now survive which is ironic as that means its not really a pub.
Only an idiot would eat a turkey curry on Christmas day

The Queers and I are singing from the same hymn sheet on this one - as much as it makes me look like a f*cking idiot, it's the truth, I do only drink Bud (when I have a choice)
Watching Big Bang while my wife makes a cake for a family event on Sunday. Haven't gone out or drunk much since I moved down here but Friday night is can of cider night so thats it.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

It's mostly the sh*tty pubs that are closing down. Decent locals that are kept clean and with a good atmosphere and good beer are doing fine, whether they sell food or not.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

There's no doubt the smoking ban has had an impact on pubs but if you want to look at the real reason these days you need to compare the price of grog in the pub to the price of grog in the supermarket.
